Creator's Key Takeaways

we saw the bridge do this quite often during our visit in fact one of the highlights of our visit to curau was staying on the bridge as it opened to allow boats to pass through

we attach our pink jelly beans lock and we encourage you to bring your own to lock in your love in curacel

the city itself takes on a more lively atmosphere although we did find quite a few of the shops were closed many restaurants and bars were still open after 600 in the evening

the queen Emma Bridge was illuminated with multicolored lights which made for a memorable experience

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be aware that Curaçao is typically very windy, so keep that in mind as you're deciding what to wear while in Port.
✓Bring your ID and ship's card as you're required to have them to re-enter the port area.
✓Many merchants close their stores by 6:00 in the evening and many shops are only open from 10:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon on Sundays, so plan accordingly.
✓If the photo op at the welcome sign is crowded early in the day, just wait until later when it's less crowded.
✓We recommend avoiding the wet bricks ahead of you to avoid getting splashed from the bay.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

The Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao -- known for its centuries-old, brightly colored architecture -- is located in the Caribbean Sea, about 45 miles north of Venezuela. Cruise ships dock in the Capital city of Willemstad, which had its historic city center selected as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1997. While some smaller ships dock in the harbor of St. Anna Bay, most dock at the Mega Pier. Both are within walking distance of the city’s shopping and tourist areas. In this video, we will explore Curaçao by foot, starting from the Mega Pier. More Cruise Port Guides and Walking Tours: https://www.thejellybeans.net/ #TheJellyBeans #CruisePortGuide
