Just left and would just like to say it went ABOVE AND BEYOND our expectations!! We booked an Airbnb at Playa Lagun and my husband said it’s the best snorkeling he has had ( he has traveled and I haven’t too much yet). I loved it and so easy to access. We took the Mermaid Klein tour which IMO was good for the experience but my favorite times were on the main island. Playa Piskado was my favorite spot bc being so close to the turtles is priceless. We went to eat at many places but by far the best time we had was at Shelterrock restaurant! They had drinks, dinner, and karaoke which has the best vibes and their kiddo singing karaoke was awesome! We rented a car which by other reviews is a big YES. The drive although isn’t far from place to place does take time but the views are worth it. Again, thank you Curacao for an unforgettable week 💙

Is it normal for flight attendants to change your seats when you are on the plane ready to sit down??
For context, I have only flown about 3 times in my life. I have anxiety and severe flight fear so bad that my doc has had to give me pills to calm down for flight. So this past weekend was flight number 4 for me. My husband booked flight in the middle of plane and someone seated next to us. We checked frequently how full the plane was and while at airport we saw it was fairly empty.. the back three rows ( among other seats here and there) were empty. So we changed to have the back row away from people to make me more comfortable and avoid others. Everything changed normal. We get on the plane and as we are about to sit down the flight attendant says that we need to move up to third from last row.. which is right behind the other people. I was annoyed but I thought surely there was a reason.. so we sit down and the people in front of us get there after us and immediately recline their seats back to where we are even more sardined in. Now I’m really annoyed bc we changed for that reason and others. Moving forward decided to not let it get to me bc I was already trying to calm down and focus mentally. Until I saw what they wanted the last 3 rows for.. for the two flight attendants to spread out and eat and read books and chit chat LOUDLY to each. That’s what set me off. I don’t feel like that was a legitimate reason to move the seats that we had the right to choose for their convenience. After all they are working not on chit chat time. But again.. NOT A FREQUENT FLYER so that is why I am asking.. is this normal? My first instinct was to complain but I don’t want to look like and idiot if they are allowed to do that. Oh and as a bonus… one of the men in front of us got up and went and laid down in the empty row next to us for the entire flight and the flights did not say one word to him which was icing on the cake.

Thank you!!!
