From the gym yesterday, I noticed an approaching cruise ship. It turned out to be the Carnival Valor. Snapped this pic:
Aruba is “one happy island.” I’m sure the passengers arriving were a happy bunch as well. What’s your favorite cruise line and port of call? Bon dia.
Here’s a short video for folks arriving in Aruba via cruise ship (or those of you who want a quick overview of the island). You’ll see the gate where you exit the port area, a few tour buses, some shops, activities, and a few sights.
I hope you enjoyed that little informative piece. More videos from Aruba and elsewhere are on deck, so stay tuned, and don’t forget to “like” me on Facebook to stay current.
Cunard’s Queen Victoria made a stop in Aruba recently. She’s more of a traditional ship as far as her lines go. Less flash, probably more class. Take a look.
Cunard's Queen Victoria in Aruba.
I like the hull painted a darker color like that, along with the red for the below the waterline portion, gives a sense of gravitas to a ship. Either way, I’m sure it’s a magnificent floating palace for you to enjoy a vacation. Don’t forget to check where the lifeboats are!
If you’re staying at the Renaissance Hotel in Aruba, you’ll find a pool on what is the second floor. I posted about this location before, but couldn’t resist snapping another photo because there was a cruise ship just across the way. Take a look.
Imagine yourself sprawled on a lounger, drink in hand, a good book in the other hand, and this is your view. Quite nice. Then, when it gets a little too warm, you simply slip into the pool for a refreshing dip. Perhaps you hang out on the edge, watching the passengers come and go on the street below. Either way, it’s a comfortable spot, and much closer than you think.
Bon dia.
