We are in lovely, windy Aruba today. This is our last port before heading back to Ft. Lauderdale over the next 2 days.

It is an arid desert island so different from lush and tropical Dominica. We took a tour of the island and saw many cactus plants and iguanas.

Want to buy a diamond? Oranjestad has tons of jewelry stores catering to shoppers looking for gem stones.

There are beautiful beaches here, but we decided to just look and not swim because the wind and current was strong.

We had dinner in Cafe Caribe and spent the rest of the evening at various entertainment venues.

The entertainment has been plentiful and varied on this cruise. We have many choices and are never disappointed.
