January 21 Aruba

We docked very early at 6:30 am in the commercial shipping part of the harbor and this put us far away from the shopping district.  We had been scheduled to take a snorkel cruise but decided we did not want to get up and ready so early in the day so we turned in our tickets.  The ship provides a shuttle bus to the port entrance so we decided to take that and just walk around.  This our third visit to Aruba so we have done most of the tourist things on the past trips.  There were three other cruise ships in port, including a Royal Caribbean and a Carnival.  These two are huge ships have about 3000 passengers each so the town shopping area was packed.  Every other store seems to be a jewelry store or souvenir shop!

We were invited to dine with the captain and the social hostess.  It was a very pleasant evening, and of course we received the best service possible!
