Cruise Overview

Miami is one of the world’s most popular holiday spots.

It has so much to offer; from its countless beach areas, to culture and museums, from spa and shopping days out, to endless cuban restaurants and cafes.

Miami is a multicultural city that has something to offer to everyone.
Aruba's capital is easily explored on foot.

Its palm-lined central thoroughfare runs between old and new pastel-painted buildings of typical Dutch design (Spanish influence is also evident in some of the architecture).

There are a lot of malls with boutiques and shops—the Renaissance mall carries high-end luxury items and designer fashions.

A massive renovation in downtown has given Main Street (a.k.a.

Caya G.

F.

Betico Croes) behind the Renaissance Resort a whole new lease on life: boutique malls, shops, and restaurants have opened next to well-loved family-run businesses.

The pedestrian-only walkway and resting areas have unclogged the street, and the new eco-trolley is free and a great way to get around.

At this writing, Linear Park was well and will showcase local merchants and artists.

There will be activities along a boardwalk that will eventually run all the way to the end of Palm Beach, making it the longest of its kind in the Caribbean.
Dutch settlers came here in the 1630s, about the same time they sailed through the Verazzano Narrows to Manhattan, bringing with them original red-tile roofs, first used on the trade ships as ballast and later incorporated into the architecture of Willemstad.

Much of the original colonial structures remain, but this historic city is constantly reinventing itself and the government monument foundation is always busy restoring buildings in one urban neighborhood or another.

The salty air causes what is called "wall cancer" which causes the ancient abodes to continually crumble over time.

The city is cut in two by Santa Anna Bay.

On one side is Punda (the point)—crammed with shops, restaurants, monuments, and markets and a new museum retracing its colorful history.

And on the other side is Otrobanda (literally meaning the "other side"), with lots of narrow, winding streets and alleyways (called "steekjes" in Dutch), full of private homes notable for their picturesque gables and Dutch-influenced designs.

In recent years the ongoing regeneration of Otrobanda has been apparent, marked by a surge in development of new hotels, restaurants, and shops; the rebirth, concentrated near the waterfront, was spearheaded by the creation of the elaborate Kura Hulanda complex.There are three ways to cross the bay: by car over the Juliana Bridge; by foot over the Queen Emma pontoon bridge (locally called "The Swinging Old Lady"); or by free ferry, which runs when the pontoon bridge is swung open for passing ships.

All the major hotels outside town offer free shuttle service to town once or twice daily.

Shuttles coming from the Otrobanda side leave you at Riffort.

From here it's a short walk north to the foot of the pontoon bridge.

Shuttles coming from the Punda side leave you near the main entrance to Ft.

Amsterdam.
