CruiserBruce Posted March 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Stays in Aruba for multiple days? No. I have heard of one or two cruises that stay there over night occasionally, but not Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted March 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Not on Princess. Not even an overnight on Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted March 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The answer to your question is no. The longest time I remember being in Aruba on a princess cruise ship. We arrived at 7:00 a.m. and left Aruba at 10:00 p.m. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfuzzy Posted March 23, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Why don’t cruise lines schedule more overnights? Actually, the answer is simple. Money. Cruise lines make a lot of money on board from duty free shops and casinos. When ships are in port, both are closed. Along with... cruise lines pay for berthing, I'm sure they pay by the time docked, If one ship is docked for multiple days, then other ships can't dock there. If you are staying on the ship, hotels lose money. And besides, what are you going to do in the evening, other than dinner, the casino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted March 23, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I don't think there are any main line cruise ships that stay more than an overnight in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted March 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Cost prevent ships from spending the night in most ports. As they are a direct charge to us the customers, and in general we complain about high costs, there will not be many, if any, in the future.

LeeW Posted March 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Royal in November is doing 8AM to 10 PM in Aruba and Curacao and 7AM to 5PM in Bonaire. Longest stays I have ever seen out of 8 or 9 visits to Aruba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfuzzy Posted March 24, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If a ship moved for point A to point B and stayed there for a week, how can that be described as a "cruise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted March 24, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Although I enjoy the islands, but I also enjoy the feel of the ship moving and being outside at night. I wouldn't want an extended overnight. One overnight in Dublin was great on the British Isles cruise, but I'm not sure about more than that one a cruise.
