Chosen for smaller ship size and excellent port agenda. Exploring the ABC Island on your own is the best way to see these Islands. We rented golf carts from Bonaire Cruisers (HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GREAT PEOPLE) and toured and snorkeled around the island at our own pace for over 8 hours. Aruba, we just shopped and had a good day there also. Had been to Aruba may times before... Irie tours in Curacao is also recommended, a group via cruise critic roll call chartered the tour which ended at the beach. They were VERY accommodating as to when each couple wanted to return to the ship or town! Again, VERY good people. Highly recommend both of these company's. Also joined a group, via cruise critic, for Jewel, Dunn's River Falls all inclusive in Echos Rios Jamaica, again great people, value and day! Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, first port and last minute by NCL due to hurricanes. Very Poor stop. NCL had no clue of what was there and the port obviously was not ready for us either since we were their first ship for the year and probably of this size ever. Only a hand full of shops open, little information and transportation available. Had to tender in in rough seas. No maps available on board or on land available.
Decent amount of room with good location, dead center of ship
Great day for shopping since we had been to Aruba often in the past and variety and access to shops is good, safe and friendly.
