bitsey66 Posted October 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Can someone please tell me where Princess docks at Curacao??? I feel really stupid asking this, but I'm trying to get a feel of where things are located and how far from the ship things are, so we can make the most of our day in port! I gather it's somewhere near Willemstad??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentlym Posted October 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Last year on the Caribbean Princess (Nov.12) we docked at Megapier, Gouverneur van Slobbeweg, Willemstad, Curaçao. Copy and paste that into Google maps and it'll bring it up. It's walking distance to all the shops….albeit quite balmy and hot. You'll want a shower when you get back onboard. Curacao is a beautiful port. The food and shopping is fantastic. Enjoy. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RLK33853 Posted October 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The last two years we docked at the entrance to the city - two minutes to the shops and five to the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQG67 Posted October 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You dock at the Megapier. Smaller ships likevHolland are allowed to dock inside the waterway which is closer to everything. Princess ships are too large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtulipe Posted October 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Smaller ships like the M class can dock at the two wharfs of the cruise terminal just beyond the Emma floating pedestrian bridge in the channel Sint Annbaai, leading to the inner harbor in Willemstad. Larger ships dock at the Mega Pier Cruise Terminal on the Caribbean coast just west of the old fort, the Riffort, at the channel entrance. Both locations are within Willemstad and close to the town center with the Mega Pier being a little further away than the Channel Wharfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did google-map it and now I have a grasp of where we will be....provided that's where they dock this year too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitsey66 Posted October 28, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Perfect! Thank you everyone! Sometimes I hate being "organized" LOL Just want to get the best experience possible and not feel rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted October 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2013 When there's more than one dock at a port, I'll try to find the cruise ship calendar for that port by looking at the port's website. Many of them will list which berth or pier is being used by that ship. Very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
