that make a difference.
Where this zone takes you
The agreed permitted cruise-terminal drop-off in Oranjestad. Ship boarding, luggage handling inside the port and terminal access remain subject to the cruise operator.
The drive & the final approach
Port security and ship movements affect access. Build a buffer between the flight and ship check-in, including immigration, baggage and the road transfer.
Your airport pickup
Send your flight number and arrival date. Your written confirmation provides the current terminal-specific meeting instructions. Complete arrival formalities and baggage collection before following them. If your flight or terminal changes, contact the dispatcher.
For the return journey
Confirm your departure flight, pickup date and exact address. The pickup time must account for your airline’s check-in requirement and expected road conditions. A round trip is two confirmed journeys, not an assumed return.
