- We get lots of questions about what to expect at the Aruba cruise port. To help you plan your trip we are going to tell you everything you need to know about the Aruba cruise port . Stay tuned to find out what we thought and how you can prepare for your day in Aruba.
The arrivals and departures are very easy at the Oranjestad Aruba cruise port. There are 4 spots for ships, you will be docked at berth B, C, F or G all of which are close together.It is not a far walk to the terminal building or out of the port, it only takes about 5 minutes which is awesome. Being that it is not a large dock there were not any trams. If you are interested in an Aruba tour there are companies right at the port offering Aruba cruise excursions. Just remember to leave lots of time to get back to the port as the cruise ship will not wait. You can always book an excursion with the cruise line and they will wait.
The Aruba cruise port is really a jumping off point to start your Aruba trip. There aren't any restaurants or bars at the cruise port, I think that is because you are just a just a short walk from the restaurants, shops and bars downtown. Most people will be going there instead of staying at the port. So when planning your Aruba trip you will want to think about exploring outside of the port.
In our Aruba cruise port guide we also talk about what is near the port so you have some ideas. If you are interested in exploring the island on your own the public buses are affordable and stop at many beaches, taxes are also a great way to explore the island. If you are interested in shopping the town of Oranjestad is right outside the port. Some of the other common places to visit in the downtown area are the Archaeological Museum of Aruba, the Fort Zoutman Historical Museum, and the Renaissance Mall and Marketplace. As we said you can book your Aruba cruise excursions with the cruise line, explore on your own or book at the port. The top 5 beaches in aruba are Eagle Beach, Baby beach, Palm Beach, Arashi and Druif Beach. I'm usually all for walking but it seemed like a bit too much of a walk in the heat of the day so I would recommend taking a taxi or the bus instead. So when thinking about Aruba things to do, you have lots of options from a chill beach day, shopping or a more extreme excursion.

We like going to the beach at Marriott hotel. It is a public beach with local bars, restrooms and beach chairs to rent. You can get there by using the bus or a taxi from the port
How much is bus fare from the port? Thank you
I was born and raised in this gorgeous Island
Oranjestad is pronounced O RAN YIH STAD (That's the best I can do.)
Aruba is a fabulous country. Clean and safe, with perfect climate and weather. Great beaches and SCUBA diving. And friendly people. Restaurants, bars, and lots of shops within 100m of cruise ship docks.
Great to see a new video from you flamingos! I hope your all recovering well. Love the video and love Aruba! Looking forward to getting back there sometime.
Thank you ❤️ Aruba is an amazing island. We would love to go back. Happy travels 🦩
We were in Aruba in Late October. It was beautiful, so much fun, easy to shop and the food was awesome. So easy to get anywhere. Had a downpour so we didn’t get to ride the trolley which we really wanted to try. The casinos paid very well. I will be returning to ARUBA.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We also loved Aruba and hope to go back soon 🚢 ❤️
Great port tour! I’m hoping to go this summer and I will definitely be exploring the city. Thank you
We are so glad you liked it. It is a beautiful island to explore. Happy travels 🦩
Great video. We LOVE Aruba. Been there several times. Love to go back.
Thank you. I feel we just got a taste of it and can’t wait until we can go back. Happy travels 🦩
Thank you for a well done, intelligent video. On our one day last visit to Aruba we rented a Jeep and circled the island. It was easy, fun and safe.
That sounds like an amazing excursion & thank you for the wonderful feedback. Happy Travels Gregory! 🦩
I always enjoy your videos! We just got back a couple weeks ago on Allure of the Seas, and we were in docked a different place. I didn’t even know there was a true terminal. May of been due to the size of Allure. They did have shuttles due to the walk we had.
Also they had third party and Royal Caribbean excursion picking up right by the ship. We messed that up and had the make the long walk back almost missing our time.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I’m so glad you didn’t miss your time. Happy travels 🦩
Nice vlog! Great presentation. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States.
We are so glad you liked it and thank you for the support :) Happy Travels 🦩
If you book an excursion through the ship and the ship is late to the port, meaning you miss the excursion, do they refund you?
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️
whats best if you just want as beach day? where would we take a cab to?
We speak 4 languages Papiamento Dutch, English, Spanish
Can you get to baby beach, and flamingo beach if you’re coming to Aruba on a cruise?
Hello! We have an excursion booked for the morning but is there enough to see and do if we walk around from the port on our own in the afternoon? Thanks!
What can you do if you use a scooter?
What ship were you on?
We were on the Odyssey of the Seas. ❤️
@@TravelingFlamingo thank you, looks nice!
In Aruba can you just use the American dollar? Sorry if this comes across as ignorant, it is our first time on a cruise and out of the country.
Yup you can. They do have their own currency of course (Aruban florin) but just about everywhere near the ports and in the tourist areas will accept USD and of course credit cards. Do be warned tho, if the price isn't in USD and they are willing to convert it, double check the conversion rate. As a Canadian I know many areas "accept USD" but our exchange rates are horrible so its easier to use a credit card. Hope that helps! Happy Travels!
Did you guys get your passport stamped? How can i get it stamped by plane?
Sadly passport stamps are disappearing, at least for North American travel. Generally for the Caribbean and North America (Alaska / Canada / etc...) you don't need passport stamps and there is no customs. You basically just walk off the ship. That said in other areas you definitely will. I know its an extreme example but in Russia we definitely did as well as China. Hope some of that helps!
There’s no beaches within walking distance
It would be a hike to walk to the beach. There are lots of taxis and public transit to get to the beach. Have you been before?
@@TravelingFlamingoare the taxis easy to come by both at the terminal & at the beach? And do they take USD? Thank you in advance.
Que escandalo!
