no question is stupid
yes downtown congestion is probably the main reason folks inquire about cruise schedule port of call /Aruba.

other reasons may include meeting friends that are on a shore excursion from the ship

could also be many other reasons, but i do know that many folks will avoid downtown o'staad if ships are in port.

fwiw, one ship in port does not seem to impact the congestion significantly.

and the scientology ship "freewinds" calls aruba it's homeport and that ship only carries about 200 cruisers so that ship has little or no impact of downtown traffic.
