Recommended places to eat in Curaçao

Curaçao is a dear place to me and here are a few spots that I recommend you try.

Hofi Cas Cora - The brunch here is AMAZING! You will not be dissappointed.

La Bohème - This little restaurant boutique is visually pretty and the food and smoothies are delightful.

Fort Nassau - This place has an outstanding view of Willemstad. The food here is great if you want to have a classier experience.

BBQ Express Food Truck - This popular establishment doesn't get started until 9pm but it's worth the wait. The food is great and plentiful.

Royal Caribbean

September 5, 2022

Unvaccinated travelers can join us for almost all U.S. sailings.

Starting with September 5th departures, guests who are not vaccinated can sail on almost all cruises from the U.S. (except itineraries that visit Canada or Bermuda).

Testing protocols will be easier

for U.S. cruises that don’t visit Canada or Bermuda:

Vaccinated guests won’t have to take a pre-cruise test on cruises that are shorter than 10 nights.
Unvaccinated guests age 5 and up will need to test within 3 days before boarding, regardless of cruise length.
We will begin accepting results from self-administered home tests.

More Info Coming Soon!
