Cruiseship Season Underway

Emerald Princess in Aruba
Current cruise ship season is underway. It’s bringing thousands of visitors each week in town. It’s truly the center of town to life. Despite the unstable weather the last few days, the streets are pouring with tourists.
Many are concerned with the economic slowing in North America, where the majority of Aruba visitors are from. This season, more than ever, cruise ships are very important to keep flow of visitors decent.
