Aruba is a popular island and visited by many ships, being part of the West Indies located just off the Paraguaná Peninsula of Venezuela. It is 19 miles of beach and fun, Flamingos and nature. Music and food. See the tours for what can be done, but my guess is a walk and the beach or getting a bus to Eagle Beach it’s stunning and only 10 min – 15 mins away.

Many new cruisers head for the Caribbean or USA coast first. We were keen to get blogs up on the ABC islands and Panama because although we have yet to see it, book 4 of Solo Cruiser is set in these. If you are now trying to decide on a ship and where to go, there are considerations big, small, lively, quiet, adult only etc… take a look at our how to choose a cruise blog.  Doris Visits allows you to SEE THE CRUISE BEFORE YOU CRUISE THE SEA. We have videos of many of the cruise stops you might make from St Lucia to Barcelona, from Tallinn to St Maarten. Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter and share.
