YouTube Video Description

Hello family and friends and welcome back! Day 4 of our Symphony sailing brought us to Aruba. It’s our first time on this island and we booked the Aruba’s Hidden Gems Excursion through Royal Caribbean. As most of you know, Raj is NOT a beach person and while Aruba has some BEAUTIFUL beaches, we didn’t spend much time on any of them. If you’re considering booking this excursion, join us to get a feel for the experience and hear about 10 things we think you should know before you go. After our excursion, we enjoyed dinner in Coastal Kitchen, the 1977 ice skating show, and Cole wrapped up in the night with the white party in the Solarium. #symphonyoftheseas #royalcaribbean #royalcaribbeancruise #cruise #aruba #shoreexcursion #royaligans www.instagram.com/royaligans 00:00 - Intro 01:38 - Linear Park & Surfside Beach 03:31 - Lourdes Grotto 05:50 - Arikok National Park 06:58 - Quadirikiri Cave 11:50 - Fontein Cave 14:24 - Boca Prins Beach 17:45 - Mangel Halto Beach 19:12 - Casibari Rock Formation 22:47 - Coastal Kitchen Dinner 23:10 - 1977 Ice Show snippet 23:44 - Cruise Compass
