I enjoyed taking the ship-sponsored cat sail up to the beach and back. I'm not much of a beach person but enjoyed a couple of hours there. Probably the nicest or second best beach I've ever seen (Eagle I believe, but it's close to Palm so I get them confused). Next time (this Jan.) will probably take a cab to the beach, just for a change. Back by the ship there is quite good shopping but I find Curacao more interesting in it's shopping district and for a place to just wander around (casinos in both).
