You didn't say where you where staying. On heavy cruise ship days. If you need anything when staying on the Dutch side get out early and get back to your "unit"!!! Even one BIG ship can jam up the roads!!! We either stay on property at Beachside villas or leave EARLY for Orient for LaPlaya beach and restaurant!!! Plan for HEAVY traffic from 9am to 3pm apx!!! Here are the bridge open times: Outbound traffic is allowed at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM, while inbound traffic is allowed at 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 3:00 PM, and 5:00 PM.
