In September we went on a bus tour of Aruba and spent about an hour at the beach. Next year the MAGA group is going on a catamaran tour around the island. Also on Curacao we could again pick up the INCREDIBLE Curacao Blue liqueur. It makes the BEST Margaritas. If we go back we will get FOUR bottles. Finally, I don't mind going back to the uninhabited island via water taxi near Bonaire called Klein Bonaire. The beach there was fantastic. We spent about 4 hours there.
Now all I have to do is change my wife's mind.
i am not the “more /bigger is better” type.
And i don’t like getting sick from communal food, which is common on cruse ships, large hotels, etc
Done 48 cruises averaging 7 days. Never got sick of any of them. Even the cruises in Asia from Singapore were healthy. It is the more nutritional food than what I eat at home and because of walking 5-10 times more than my daily routine at home, I have always come back from cruises feeling stronger, and no more than 3-lb weight gain.
I do not like crowds either, and the least crowded ship I have cruised on was also the biggest at 265,000 tons. There were 6000 passengers on board, yet no lines anywhere because there were so many restaurants and entertainment place on board. The walk from our cabin through central park to assigned dining room and back to cabin was 1/2 mile on my pedometer. Central park had green grass, many trees and bushes. We saw birds living there permanently. Best ever entertainment shows as well.
