Question
My husband, I and our  two teenage children will be stopping in  Aruba in February. What would you recommend as a must see or do excursion. And other than booking the excursion with the cruise ( which I a have been told can get pricey)  is there a more cost effective way. We are first time cruisers and I want to make sure we will safely get back to the ship on time.
Your response is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Monica!  Copy and paste the above link to show the various options you have. For a first timer on the island, I would go for an island Tour. Usually takes about 3 to 4 hours, and they may have times that can accomodate your schedule. No matter where you are on the island, it would never take longer than 1/2 hour to get to the cruise port!
Most tour operators will arrange pick up right at the dock, or for a 10 minutes walk, go to the Rennaisance Hotel for pick up.
Plenty of options for what you want to do, so i hope the link helps you with a decision. Have a great trip, and if you need to, just contact me here again!
