- The cruise port in Curacao has a bridge you can get stuck on. I recently spent the day in Curacao on my Carnival Pride cruise. Join me as I explore Willemstad, Curacao.

I recognise that you are going to fair amount of effort recording your adventures in port and I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your effort to show us around. I am finding these videos in particular very interesting, having never been to Curacao or Aruba. I am all about trying the local food and alcohol.
Curacao is beautiful and even as a single lady I felt safe walking around.
"Make coffee, not war." - Captain Janeway of the U.S.S. Voyager (Star Trek) would agree!
ABC islands are the pinnacle of the Caribbean. Love cruising there.
I love when you take video of your port days. Always fun to see how you spend your time in port.😊
Curacao is probably my favorite Island in the Caribbean.
@@kingsgaurdI hope to one day cruise to see the ABCs
Hhl kh ..
Giggled out loud when you panned to the bed full of towel animals. Keep up these tag along videos. They are fun!
No guard rails or safety devices on the bridge- can you imagine what it would be like in America. I love Curacao!!!
Our cabin steward, on our last cruise told us we leave our cabin too clean, my wife cleans up the room before we leave
I straighten up our cabin as well before we leave. I understand! Happy sailing!
YES my wife does the same, make bed before we leave for breakfast
I loved Curacao. We took a local tour. Our guide was 85 and looked 15 years younger. It's a beautiful place.
Hey Tony, thanks for taking us along. I’ve really been enjoying these videos. 🌴
Lighted night time pedestrian bridge is 10x more magical. A must do.
I agree 💯
Tony, I sure do enjoy and appreciate you taking us along on your port days! It helps me feel better while being land locked. I wish I could cruise more often.
Better clown makeup than sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging! Safety first!
Yes!
That ship has sailed for me!
@@LaLidoLocatry elta md if you want for your face. They have a tinted sunscreen. It’s more expensive but it’s also a physical sunscreen and so it doesn’t go into your skin as well. Used to only be able to be prescribed by dermatologist but you can buy it now OTC.
2 melanoma surgeries and a Moh's basal cell surgery = I don't mess around with unprotected sun anymore ESPECIALLY in the tropics!
It’s pronounce Curaçao
Man, my husband and I are so bummed we missed you! We were in Curacao last week on Celebrity Beyond and the bridge went fully open right to the other wall for 45 minutes! So we had to wait, although we could have taken the ferry by the time the gate opened the boat was just getting there. It was very cool! It was 42 with humidity though. We also went to lunch at Pasa Bieu about ten minute walk just a street beyond all the shopping you went to across the street. Sign says Old Market Pasa Bieu with locals in a amanzing open kitchen market experience. It helps to know Spanish. If you need help with the boards in front of the stores you can always them. My husband and I had Iguana soup and I had Goat stew. It was amazing! You want "the true local food experience" you go there! It was delicious! Oh and definitely do the lego tour!!
My husband didn't believe me when I said the bridge swings to let the boats in and out. Until . . . . . . I seriously wish I had got it recorded. SO funny lol.
I was skeptical about the Glacial and I bought a bottle. Maybe it's all suggestive but it works! Pain relief without medication is always a plus.
Also, the second oldest synagogue in the western hemisphere is located in downtown curaçao. It’s built over a sand floor and there’s a self guided history tour as well that is very moving and educational. The synagogue is stunning and totally worth the trip. And the synagogue is still functioning today and also hosts special events.
My family and I were in Curacao for 5 days in March, loved it!! Great food, great people, great weather, what's not to love! Also, I hit the Dutch pottery shop too, I came home with earrings, nice and small. Have a great rest of your cruise!
Last time I was in Curacao I walked and when I was crossing the floating pedestrian bridgeI took photos of the colored buildings of other side and turned them into an online jigsaw puzzle . Buildings so colorful. The love lock people were adorable. Love your tours of these ports! There is an ostrich farm near me. Interesting characters! Thanks
Great fun going on an excursion with you!! I love your positive attitude, and I thought you looked very handsome in your " collared shirt, long pants, and leather shoes"!
Great video. Been in Curaçao in December on NCL. We did a night excursion and they had the whole town decorated for Christmas. They took us to the highest point where we could see the ships in the harbor all lit up, just beautiful
My Wife and I had our Picture Taken in front of Hein Delfs Blauw on that pottery of the Wooden shoe Great Memories Thanks again
Im jealous! That Ostrich farm is the closest you'll get to a real Jurassic Park. To your right we have dilophostrich and to your left the Tyrannostrich rex
Curaçao is my favorite port. Love it there
That floating bridge is AMAZING! Humans are so resourceful.. traveling is great for seeing the "genius" in our species. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Tony. These videos on all the port's you're visiting is so fun. Another beautiful day! Towel Animals showing you the love. 😉As always thank you for all you do ♥️ Great souvenir hunt.
Great video!! I say road trip!! There is never too many Lego in one’s life 😂
Tony you are so cool! You give us the news and you take us on the cruise with you!
The ice cream shop you passed is amazing, especially refreshing on super hot days !
The snorkeling around the island is fantastic too! Some of the clearest water around the Caribbean!
You are tmz, news nation, daily mail! Of cruise news! Keep it up. I love it!
I was there once and can remember all the beautiful colors of the buildings. We had a nice tour of the town then went to a nice private beach for a few hours
After our 30 day B2B2B on Venezia, I used so much sunscreen, I came back paler than when we embarked 🌞
We love Curaçao. In 2019, we put our lock of love on the only metal ❤ that was there. Now there are 4! Once you cross the swinging bridge, continue on that street, past the " CiCi", and you will come to a square that has a clock, like a swiss clock on the side of the building. On the hour, the clock strikes, plays music and little Figurines march out, then go back inside. Quite a treasure. Also love the Dutch shop you went into. Always something new to explore there.
Hey Tony, Im from Curacao and just wanted to let you know, the larger bridge is called Queen Juliana bridge (not nassau bridge).
I hope you enjoyed my island!!❤
Re locks. In London UK there was a bridge over the river Thames where people put locks. They were all along the rails of the bridge. Millions of locks commemorating people. After many years of this tradition the government cut all the locks off and banned the tradition because the weight of the locks got too great and affected the stability of the bridge. True story. Xx
So true
@@channahgav4859 This was not in London. It was in Paris. Pont des Arts which actually collapsed from the weight of the padlocks.
Same thing happened to a bridge in Paris.
Ye, I had heard that also
Plus adding to pollution with throwing keys in the water.
Curacao is one of my favorite islands. Love having lunch and watching the bridge.
Love it when you show clips of ship excursions! Thank you, Tony
I love Ocotillo cacti, the tall thin ones. So funny to watch birds perch on top and sway in the wind
I'm watching thus from my ocean view balcony on Wonder Of The Seas... I'm on day 2 just left Coco Cay. I just want to say thank you for everything you create on here and keep up the awesome work that you do. 😊
Always tidy up my personal belongings and papers. I have a “junk drawer” even on a cruise 😂
We went for the first time in December 2023 and walked over the bridge and down the side roads past the locks. Then found a cab to Mambo Beach. LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT ISLAND!!! We are planning another trip next year.
Thanks for the view of the big bridge from the buffet. It’s size really shows from that perspective. I love that a Delft Blue shop; I regret not bringing home something home. … I am also a Curaçao two-timer - both last year. And just remembered I bought some green stuff in December.
Love Curacao! I actually bought a windmill and snowman ornament in that shop you stopped into in the Fort! Brought back great memories from a few years back when we were on our cruise to Southern Caribbean. Now I want to go back!
I love Curaçao! It has such an interesting history - especially the floating bridge!! It is just way too hot for us - even in January 😅.
Thank you for taking us with you. Excellent narrative throughout, one of your best! Also, you're looking good, whatever you're doing for fitness must be working fir you sir. Thanks again.
I wish he'd give us his steps when he's back from these "tours".
That walking bridge was cool!!
I'd go on it just for the experience.
What a great couple with the lock. Thanks for sharing.
Happy to see you and Curacao. We will be there tomorrow on the Odyssey of the seas.
This is a great video Tony! Thank you for sharing your experience! My only issue is throwing keys into the water. That strikes me as something that would not be good for the environment. I’m surprised it is allowed.
Ostrich farm typical tourist attraction, then gift shop ! LOL !!
This is one of my favorite ports. I’ll be back there in December.
I did the Delft tour and it was amazing. Great part of my European trip. Didn’t buy much. You have to carry it with you.
❤❤That sweet couple brought tears to my eyes!❤❤
Loving the excursion videos. I'm sailing out of Tampa 11/30 for a 12 night on Celebrity Constellation. You're getting me excited for the trip.
Thanks 4 the tour. Headed there in December.
When you disembark obviously you stop in Virginia Beach and see Paradeejay!❤🎉😂
T you're spoiling us with these vlogs.
I still have a partial bottle of chocolate curacao that I purchased at the Curacao factory there. Loved it there, it was beautiful.
Your videos have been great on this cruise, unlike other bloggers who put out their cruise videos while sitting in their cabins! Really enjoy your showing us around on your excursions!
I still have my fair share of cabin work to do, but I do enjoy getting out when I can :)
Tony~~~You did IT again....traveling in the places we also went to in our many travels of the Caribbean! LOVED this video and it DID bring back many memories. We just got OFF the Bridge and they closed the gate to let some boats pass, BUT you were LUCKY to be ON the bridge while it rotated!! Love to watch you in your trravels too!! Have FUN and More~~More!!!
Thank you for the tour Tony.
Hi again! Yesterday you scoped out Aruba for me and now you're scoping out Curacao - which is where I'll be on Jan. 10/25. I hope NCL has a similar excursion. I always look for tours that include stops to see artists in action because as an artist myself, I like to support local artists. Art is the only souvenir I purchase besides fridge magnets of course. 😜 I appreciate all your videos.
OMG! The towel animals..the best! 😂😂
Thank you Tony for always taking us along on your excursions. I know this was done a few months ago but, I going to the ABC Islands in Oct and appreciate these videos.
Your review of Curacao was wonderful. I’ve been there twice and loved every minute of it. Sailing in on the Celebrity Constellation, early in the morning, I thought I was sailing into a different place. They refine oil from Venezuela on one side of the island. All of the flaring from the refineries made it look hellish. Curacao also had a roll in the European slave trade. There is incredible history on that island as well as incredible beauty. My favorite restaurant hangs over the Riff Fort walls and overlooks an infinity pool and the cruise ships. I’d rather go to the Caribbean than Hawaii.
Thanks, Tony, for today's video of your time in Curacao. Getting "stuck" on the bridge looked like fun.
We enjoyed walking back to our ship through the Fort area & walkways. What a lovely port area.❤
Thank you for your video of Curacao. I hope to cruise there someday.
Tony, port-cities, bridges and ports...it's all about cruising, all cruisers feel it ☺️
Thanks for the great video, Tony. We are on a cruise later this year that stops in Curacao, and now we have a great idea of what to expect. It looks like a nice place to explore.
Was in Curacao in 2019. We took a tour of an Aloe Vera plantation, that same Chi Chi art center and the Blue Curacao distillery. Before getting back on the ship I took my wife across that foot bridge and surprised her with a personalized lock for us to attach. There was only 1 Heart sculpture at that time. Then got caught in a downpour on the way back to the ship.
Saw you a few times on the ship and in ports but was never close enough to say hello....glad you enjoyed your cruise as much as we did!
Thank you so much. Have never been on a cruise. Love seeing your daily activities!!
Oh you just gotta go!
Breitling clocks and Panerai boutiques. Awesome place.
I really enjoy that excursion. Glad you enjoyed it
I had a sudden vision of my stepping on the egg and it breaking. 😂
Love the brightly painted homes and rooftops also enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful artwork everywhere. ❤
I’ve never seen anything like that before!! A bridge moving for boats to get through. Wow!!😎🤩 Absolutely loving going on these shore days with you Tony: heaps of fun thanks! ☺️
Definitely helped me make choices for my first cruise destinations! ❤❤❤
Hi Tony! Thanks for taking us along today!
Loved that footage from the bridge. So interesting.
This was such a great video! I felt like I was experiencing everything with you. Thanks, Tony!!!
GREAT souvenir choices!
Another great video, Tony. How nice it is to see each port with yoh. I love your life. 🤗
I really enjoy your port tour days. Your commentary is always entertaining. And all the Dutch influence in Curaçao is great to see as an American with Dutch roots.
We will be in Curacao on Sunday. One of my favorite islands! Love this island
We loved our visit with Curacao! We walked over the bridge, did some shopping and came back and the bridge was wide open, and we had to wait for the boat to take us back across the river. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing another adventure Tony!
We loved this city. We went to a museum on the other side of the pedestrian bridge on our fist visit. In the second visit we walked the bridge and through the fort. It was great to see the Delft shop in your video. We too were impressed by the shop and two mugs were our souvenirs from the city! The dry climate near the ostrich farm reminded me of the dry climate on the south side of Puerto Rico. Loved the video!
Thanks, Tony! I’ll be in Curaçao in October, and now I know to get in shape to walk around such a peaceful and beautiful island. I’ll try that green stuff, too.
That splash up, cool down is good stuff!!!
thanks for the tour we will be there in a couple of weeks !
Tony, I wouldn’t worry about anyone getting on you about the Starbucks. It’s not like you’re only consuming things that can easily be found at home. Also, I’ve traveled to more places than I can remember & I used to live in another country. I’ll try things that are local to the area but it’s always interesting to go to a McDonald’s or Burger King in other countries just to see their local take on the menu so in a way you are still trying the local food.
Thanks for showing the tours. I've missed out. Good ideas for next trip!
Thanks so much for a brilliant video of Curacao. We've been there before and can relate to many of the places you went to. Thanks again for sharing your experiences, Tony.
Great video! love to see different ports.
Another great video! Thanks Tony!❤👍
Looks so fun and interesting, i loved all the places you went to and the moving pedestrian bridge was awesome! Good for you for putting on the sunscreen, too. That sun looked very intense. If you have the time, I'd recommend driving back to Fla, lots of Lego stores not far from I-95👍 Love your channels, keep up the great work!
We love that island but it has been many years since we have been there and it has changed alot. Thank you for sharing your time there.
I have heard of many really enjoying this Island. I love these taking us on tour and real trip things. It is just nice seeing people safe and not over crowded and seeing things...knowing you are going to get a taste of each place either with safe walks or tours and your low key way of showing us how....well it is just fantastic. Idk..nothing is like walking around with same time touring..as you experience it and we just all enjoy you guys so...thanks Tony.
Wizard of oz moment! 5:27 lol “oh my”
I say see how many Buc-ee’s you can stop at in one trip home! Lol
Love Curacao my favorite port. Thanks for the tour Tony
