There are many famous ship "approaches" that CruiseMon savors around the world - the arrival past the Statue in Liberty in New York, under the Towers Bridge in London. In the Caribbean, Curacao reigns: the ship turns inward towards the island from the south, then passes under the Juliana Bridge, then glides along St. Anna Bay Channel directly through the heart of downtown Willemsted, the massive cruise ship towering above small rickety boats which have traveled across from Venezuela each morning to partake in the city's famed Floating Market. Then, when ashore, you'll find yourself on a kind of South-of-the-Border replica of Amsterdam, with well-kept rows of pastel-colored houses. This is an island which is decidedly Caribbean, but at the same time, staunchly Dutch.
