Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a true walk-off port. When you exit the cruise terminal, turn towards the waterfront and follow the paved walkway along the water.

Cursel rewards doing just enough, not doing everything.

The iconic multicolored buildings in Kuracell... stem from the early 19th century decree that was aimed at reducing sun induced migraines.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk off the ship and follow the waterfront to downtown Willemstad.
Cross the Queen Emma Bridge to explore Otrobanda murals.
If sick, get a Zpack at the pharmacy for $10 without a prescription.
