Hi Portia, The nice thing about Aruba is that it almost never rains so chances are you can do anything outdoors you want to on that island. There is a natural bridge and is beautiful to see, it's a large rock mass over part of the ocean and over millions of years it formed it's own "bridge" and the waves come crashing under this bridge up to the beach. It's pretty cool. Of course the water is beautiful and on the busy side of the island there are practically no waves so it seems like you are swimming in the ocean. The other side of the island is quite deserted. The down side to a very dry climate is that there is not much in greenery to see. I'm sure the cruise will have detailed info on where to go and what to see. It's a very Dutch island with lot of shopping and they have a whole Dutch mini shopping area that has some beautiful buildings. It's a pretty small island. We actually only ate at our hotel (The Allegro) so I wouldn't have to worry about what to order at a restaurant and I was close to my "home base" bathroom. LOL... Email when you get back if you can.
