  • In Curacao, we booked a Viator excursion to swim with the turtles and visit Grote Knip Beach. Swimming with the turtles was truly amazing and JJ cuddled with a pet lizard at the beach, also known as Playa Kenepa! We also checked out the Rif Fort shopping area and had THE BEST meal of the week!! Curacao is a GREAT port---the Rif Fort shopping, the floating bridge, souvenirs, pet lizards, and more! As cruise vloggers, we are excited to share our cruise ship vlogs and experiences with you. We feature excursions, room tours, private islands, specialty dining, and more. SUBSCRIBE for all the fun!

    There is good snorkeling on the right (North side) of Playa Piskado(Grande).
    Then at Grote Knipp beach there is good snorkeling also on the left side of the beach.
    I’d definitely still snorkel in the rain…water is crystal clear. Never came across sand fleas.
    This is my favorite excursion in Curaçao.
    I don’t stay with the main group of turtles at Playa Piskado…I head north on the beach a few hundred feet and still plenty of turtles to snorkel with in a serene environment without people swarming them

    Yuca! 😄 My family is from Cuba and that's a staple for us, especially during the holidays. I love it! And it's easy to make. Just boil it till it's tender and then drain and saute some garlic in olive oil and pour over the drained yuca and sprinkle some salt over it. 👌 If it's fresh you'll have to peel before boiling but they have frozen ones that are already peeled (atleast in the markets here in S Florida) and it's just as good. Thanks for the video!

      Yes! It's several minutes of walking from the ship to the gates! I don't remember seeing a cart like at some ports, either, but maybe I missed it. I would recommend messaging Royal Special Needs before you sail about assistance at that port.

      We had to be honest. 🤷‍♀️ That’s what we do. We missed 2 nights in the MDR, to be fair, but since the restart we’ve found Royal food to have slipped a bit…with Wonder of the Seas being the strong exception. MDR is still better than what we eat at home! 😉
