Hi All..

I just booked our 3rd RC cruise for March of 2019. I needed the date and itinerary that would work for our family, but this one was quite a bit more than we've paid in the past.

Since it is so far out, I figure that I can be searching for price drops etc for the next year plus until final payment.

Can you all please tell me your tips and tricks to monitor those "price drops" and how you've successfully saved on a booked cruise doing this? I'm new to this. In the past, the price I booked at was already so crazy low, it never dropped...

This one is higher so I think it could drop before sailing.

Thank you!!

I will do further reading on all of your links!

I know the beaches are public, but since we've never been there, I was not sure how much getting places would be, and would like to know where to aim for as we get off the ship and have somewhat of a "plan".

Aruba is one of our last stops and we have several "tours" booked on the other Islands, so I'm thinking I would just like to chill.

That being said, ARUBA is the one place I've always wanted to go. I've priced out vacations and airfare and it's never been possible. So, I want to consider that too. I want a relaxing day, but don't want to do "nothing" since I may not get back there!

Hello...

Our family of 4 with 2 kids (9&11) would like to have a nice beach day while in port in Aruba.

I'm not sure I can justify $300 for the family to be at Occidental for the day.

What would you suggest to have access to beach chairs, some shade, food and drinks. We aren't big alcohol drinkers, maybe one per husband and I and then water, and kids drink water/juice. So, just access to some food/drink, we don't need a ton.

It would be great to possibly rent Kayaks for an hour or something, but again, not sure if that's easy to find on the beach.

Is there a good place to take a Taxi to when we get off the ship that would allow us to find what we're looking for? Or, do you have any suggestions?

We will be on the AOS on 29th of March. Thinking about this for our day in port.
