Exploring the BEAUTIFUL Port of Curacao!! ABC Islands Cruise

Рет қаралды 54,527

Жыл бұрын

Did you know that the ABC islands are not geographically in alphabetical order?? First we visited Aruba and second up is Curacao. It is an overcast day, and we were at the beach yesterday, so we are feeling something different. This is a great port to walk and explore and that is exactly what we did! There is a great old fort that has a new life... as a shopping and eating area... very cool! And a pedestrian bridge that is floating on pontoons links the two sides of the city. Just walking along this bridge is neat, but also beautiful. Come along with us for a stroll and some exploration of this Dutch colonial island.

Love this video. I will be cruising the ABC islands this year. This was helpful.

I did a cruise to the ABC Islands in Jan and loved Curacao so much I flew back for a week in April. It was so incredible. Rented a studio apt and a car and went to 15 beaches. VERY affordable and so beautiful there. I'm going again in September. Perfect for solo traveler.

We were there last November on Niew Amsterdam. Our excursion got cancelled so we just walked the port and town. We enjoyed our visit but would probably go on an excursion next time to see more of the island. We do have a video of that cruise on our channel if anyone is interested. Would definitely like to go back to both Curacao and Aruba to see things we did not get a chance to see the first time. It is pretty cool how you walk through the fort to get to the shipping channel. Interesting port. The bridge is built on what looks like old wooden boats.

I was on that pontoon bridge in September (Celebrity Equinox). It closed the gates on both ends while I was on it, and opened up to let a boat pass though. That was a lot of fun. You were kind of like a prisoner for a few minutes - unless you jumped off the bridge. I did a cultural tour of the island.

So we follow you on our personal channels for years and most of the time we watch u on that but a few months ago we finally got courage and went out on our own. We have commented many times especially when u went to Hawaii our favorite place but we can never cruise it because we have to stay for weeks. Also thanked u cause we are doing our first cruise this summer on Holland America to Alaska but this time I want to not only Thank u for all the cruising and traveling tips , camera tips but also getting personal. Ron and I have lost weight a few times over the last 10 plus years we have went vegan and became marathoners at one point he lost 120 pounds I lost 80 but now we are just enjoying life but also making better habits. I am excited in hopes some will really notice when we hit the 1 year mark in a few months the difference. Jason thanks for not being shy about making the right choices on the low carb eggs and last video u mentioned your healthier drink choice almost every video u mention something and I know it has to be a struggle with all the temptations Stay strong!! We have created a balance we cut loose in most videos but what people don't see is we are strong for 2 to 4 weeks in between at some point we may share more but thanks Jason for sharing keep going !!

Got a chance to visit Curacao a few years ago. Visited the Blue Curacao distillery. Wife and I walked across the floating bridge and I surprised her on the other side at the large metal heart sculpture as I had brought a lock with our names on it to include with all the other locks. Kind of like a Locks of Love bridges. I've seen that they have added 2 more of these heart sculptures recently. You can see them on the video behind the cannons at the 7:32 mark. Just an idea if you are going to visit and want to leave a piece of you there.

When I there in January ('23) I found many of the shops to be closed as well. I asked a shop owner if things opened up later in the day, or if it was a holiday (it was a Wednesday) and he said that many of the shops didn't survive the pandemic. Unfortunately, in his words, it was a bit of a "ghost town" these days.

Was the fishing market there? When we were there is when the troubles were going on in Venezuela. The fishing market was closing the next day as they were no longer allowed to come there. This was a big blow to the people on Curacao.
