We went on the snorkeling with the turtles and Cas Aboa beach. Even though the hurricane Melissa had the turtles area too rough to snorkel, we went to the beach and swam and relaxed. Our tour team was totally amazing. Corine was so knowledgeable about the history of Curaçao, the local economy, the geological history of the forming of the island, the agriculture, and the fact that there are 20,000 more women than men here. 😉 Corine was well spoken and so friendly she was a true highlight. Her assistant Noah, interjected several things about the local wildlife, and he was our rescue swimmer. Poppy was our driver and was excellent. She was protective over and took great care of us. Thank you to our tour team for a memorable excursion on Curaçao 🤩

We took the Trolley Train tour from our cruise ship and it was excellent. There was included taxi ride to the train. The cute pink trolley train goes all through town with views of the Queen Anne bridge, the old Jewish neighborhood, a Catholic church, the Old fort and of course the brightly colored houses. The guide was informative and funny. A great overview of Williamsted Curacao.

I joined a snorkel excursion on November 12, 2025. While our guide, Hetty, was knowledgeable, her demeanor was extremely rude. When I politely asked for assistance with my life vest, she refused. I’ve participated in several excursions before and have never experienced treatment like this. The sea turtle encounter was wonderful and the snorkeling was memorable. I only wish the guiding had matched the quality of the experience.

We took the Destination Highlight Tour: Willemstad Trolley Tour. It was awful. We were crammed into an uncomfortable “trolley” which was pulled by a tractor disguised as a locomotive. You could not hear the tour guide, you smelled exhaust from the tractor the entire time. It’s 90 minutes of our lives we will never get back. Shame on Celebrity Cruises for even offering it.
