I’ll be there in December and am planning the same thing. From what I’ve seen/read it’s super easy to catch the bus and it’s a great money saver. I think it goes to a certain point and then after that if you want to go further you’ll need to take a taxi. Could be wrong though. That’s about all that I know, sorry I couldn’t help more.

@YOLO @tiny260 thanks!

I’m interested to know too, as this in what my teenaged daughter wants to do when we’re there.

Oh that’s great, thanks! I had found the one place, but they want to be paid upfront. Thanks for the info.

I’ve been told to go to the beaches on the west coast in Curaçao. Not sure if you know anything about that? There is an excursion through RCL that takes you to the west coast, just not sure how great it is and how much actual time you get to spend at the beach.

I just purchased snorkel gear for everyone specifically for Bonaire. Did you go to no name beach by chance? I’ve seen something where a boat will drop you off there and you snorkel your way down to the beach and they current actually takes you. It’s not an excursion through the cruise line though, so you just have to get off the ship and make your way down to the place and buy your tickets through the company who takes you.

Yes, it’s Explorer we’re going on. This is our first RCL cruise and second cruise in total that we’ve done, so we’re still figuring things out. Eagle Beach looks beautiful, thanks for the pics, and if the mods say you can post the link I’d be happy to have it.

Thanks everyone for your insight and advice. I usually am on checking daily or every other day, so hopefully if I keep watching I’ll get lucky and score a great price for the excursions I want.

Is it just me or does RCL jack up their prices on excursions and internet etc before putting it “on sale”? Supposedly there’s a sale on right now with up to 25% off excursions and 20% off internet. I find this hard to believe since the one excursion was $90 weeks before the sale and now its listed as $125 on sale. Same with Voom surf + stream; was $31.00 for two devices weeks ago (should’ve grabbed it), and now on sale it’s $42. I’m worried prices are just going to keep climbing, but the current prices are just outrageous imo. We sail Explorer of the Seas Dec 2019.

I’m going on a 9 day Southern Caribbean cruise in December and I’m wondering what are some of the must do excursions in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao? My primary focus is beautiful beaches. Any tips are appreciated!
