I agree not to worry about party central. The cruise ships being in port won't affect the resorts, and you will probably not experience a "wild crowd" staying there. We've stayed at the Marriott timeshare properties twice and that was our experience.

Cruise ship crowds will be noticeable in town (Orangestadt) when large ships are in port. We actually used CruiseCal to figure out when to avoid the town, and everything was fine. There are places like Carlos & Charlie's which will draw the party crowd.

I'll put in a plug for my favorite restaurant, Madame Janette. There are also some good places to get Argentinean steak, and lots of good seafood restaurants.

There are a few good message boards for Aruba - maybe you can find more specific information on your resort at one of these:

Karen, we were sad about the natural bridge! It was a neat little place to visit. It collapsed a few months before our last trip there, and we probably would have driven over there anyway, but we were busy with scuba diving certification and didn't have the time.
