We've been to Aruba several times and really like the people and the culture. Everyone is friendly & these folks are genuinely pleased that you are visiting their island. They refer to themselves as "One Happy Island" and it is very true! My wife & a friend went to the beach for a $2.00 bus ride while I golfed in Aruba at Tierra del Sol which was awesome!!! It cost $165.00, plus $35.00 club rental. I had planned on doing this so I brought balls, tees, my golf glove & golf shoes with me (sneakers were OK though). I've never golfed anywhere in the Caribbean, let alone a course where there were goats traversing the fairways!!! I had a great time! The onboard Golf Pro, Richard, and his wife Linda accompanied us there and couldn't do enough to insure that we enjoyed ourselves. Even though golf is fairly expensive compared to the states, Carnival has a promotion that they call "Guilt Free Golf." Basically, your spouse can get ANY other excursion for free. We used that promotion for the aforementioned Five Star Catamaran and Turtle Encounter, so in my mind the day of golf only cost me $111.00!!!! We ended the night at Carlos & Charlie’s. In my opinion this is a “must do” in Aruba. It is located right next to the ship, so it is easy to crawl back for the late departure from port!
