Day 3 - Thursday 28th November 2024, Willemstad, Coracao, snorkeling - the Caribbean Cruise


We got up before 6am and went to gym which we had to ourselves. We did a half hour session, came back to the room showered and went for breakfast. A bit of a rush as we had to meet for our first excursion at 7:20.


In the theatre we met the rest of the guests that were going snorkeling. Half day, two beaches which included swimming with turtles. Our ship assistant was very curt with the other passengers - questions relating to ID requirements were met with disdain, clearly he needs a holiday.

We soon were on the bus heading for the first beach. Wow, snorkeling was another world, we only saw 3 turtles but with the warm water and the smells and sounds of the ocean. The beaches are hard coral and my prep did not include water shoes. I brought flippers which I could only use in the second beach.

Leisurely ride back to the boat where Happiness our guide, (we called him that as he was always smiling)  explained everything about the island.
