Aruba is a beautiful island. I would seriously consider retiring there. The island and the people are prosperous. In some ways, it reminded me of Bermuda (another of my possible retirement islands). We took the butterfly farm and aloe factory tour, which was both entertaining and informative. We met our waitress leaving the ship, and she was walking over to a beach she knew of that was less than a mile from the ship. Other good things: The spa and health club were very good. Both my wife and I used the facilities, and were very pleased.
