At 950 feet in length and with 1,918 passengers the MS Noordam creates quite a stir during an infrequent visit to Kralendijk. It's almost humorous to watch the frenzied change of pace when a cruise ship appears. Taxis and vans that are non-existent at other times seemingly appear out of no where. Vacant beaches are suddenly filled with neon life jacketed snorkelers and craft filled kiosks crowd the town square. By 5pm the ship's horns have blasted and the circus- like atmosphere (until next week) is just a memory.
