The ship docked in the Mega Pier cruise terminal while in Curacao. It was a short walking distance from the city center and the main attractions in Willemstad downtown. Just like Aruba visit, we had a long stay in Curacao from 7:00am to 10:00pm. We took a taxi to tour both sides of the island: Otrobanda and Punda.

Former Floating Market - Willemstad city center
WILLEMSTAD : is the capital city of Curacao. The city center, historic old town has its unique architecture and harbor entry, is the UNESCO World Heritage Site. We crossed the Rif Fort and walked on the pontoon/swinging bridge called Queen Emma Bridge to Willemstad's city center from the ship terminal.
