I printed off a PDF map of a self-guided walking tour from this site: http://www.curacao.com/Plan-Your-Trip/Cruisers#.

That is a great map! Thanks for the advice everyone! A self-guided tour would probably be best for the kids anyway. I hadn't thought about it.

Truthfully, I wouldn't pay for either. You can walk on your own to the museum and then walk around the hotel grounds. The fort is across the pontoon bridge to the right.When you are done walk back across the bridge to your ship.

Ok, awesome! Thanks! Do you know of anywhere I can find a map of just the area nearest to the ship?

We are trying to decide between two walking tours in Curacao but I'm not sure which offers the best sight-seeing. I would love advice from anyone who has visited here before. Which would you choose?

One visits Kura Hulanda Museum, Kura Holanda Hotel, Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge, and Fort Amsterdam. It is about two hours and 15 minutes and $30 p.p. This one offers a ride back to the ship or the option to stay in town and look around (leaving you with the responsibility to return to the ship.)

The other visits Fort Amsterdam, the former residential neighborhood of Scharloo and the famous “wedding cake house”, and Pietermaai Cathedral. It is an hour and 45 minutes and $38 p.p. You have the option to ride back to the ship or stay in town to look around (leaving you with the responsibility to return to the ship.)

If we choose to stay in town, is it possible to walk back to the ship? Would we be better off taking a cab?

This is the best review of the Breeze (or any other ship for that matter) that I have read! We are booked for next September. You're gorgeous photos are making the wait just that more agonizing ;) I have subscribed and I can't wait for more!
