Curacao interests me too, though I don’t think I’ll visit while the Venezuela meltdown is ongoing. Black culture in America is different than any other in the world. Thanks to the democrats, whose sole skill seems to be misplacing blame. Slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, Trail of tears, internment of Japanese, KKK, etc. It’s all them, yet somehow they’ve convinced the American blacks that the Republicans are to blame. It’s absurd.
Aruba, on the other had, was having a noticeable problem. They're very close to the mainland, so lots of refugees are there. Their only industry is tourism, so they can't absorb a lot of people. Actually, a lot of the reliable islands are having problems which make them unpleasant. One of the problems is overcrowding, with idle residents and with people from the mega ships. For me anyway, I'm thinking the combination of higher prices, ships too large for a pleasant environment....either on them or ports they visit, and corners they're cutting on what included (and its quality) on an all-inclusive cruise have reached the tipping point.
