Five things to do in Curaçao, and you can do almost all of them without an excursion
Five things to do in Curaçao, and you can do almost all of them without an excursion. Turn right off the pier into Rif Fort, a historic fort turned open-air shopping and dining spot (it might be my favorite cruise terminal anywhere). Keep walking and you'll pop out at the Queen Emma Bridge, the floating pontoon bridge that actually swings open to let ships through. Cross it and you're at Handelskade, those colorful Dutch buildings that make you feel like you got dropped in Amsterdam. With extra time, the Curaçao Liqueur Distillery is where the famous blue stuff comes from (go early or late, it gets packed with tour groups). And learn one word: dushi. It basically means all the good things. My honest take? It's stunning, but for a beach day, Bonaire wins. Which ABC island is your favorite? #cruisetok #cruiselife #cruise #cruisetips #curacao
