For those of you that have arrived to PJIA with just a carryon since the arrival congestion started at the airport, were you able to move through the initial line faster? This has been mentioned a couple of times, but I wasn't sure if some just got lucky, or if carryon-only passengers are consistently being moved through the process more quickly.
We'll be arriving with two checked bags and one carryon. My hope is that some of us can get through the line faster with the carryon and just one person (probably me) will have to wait in the line for baggage claim.

My thought was that my wife and son could go pick up the rental car while I waited and then eventually pick me up once I'm through the lines. If I'm waiting for hours, they could even drive down to the beach. For any of this to work, we'd have to both have our cell phones roaming, but that's a price I'm willing to pay if we can avoid waiting in a line for hours with a 6-year-old.

We just switched a couple of months ago from Verizon and T-Mobile has been fantastic in Aruba. We have unlimited International data/roamimg for zip....local calls (no plan needed) are 25 cents/min and it auto switches to wifi calling in the condo so no charge for calls to USA cell phones on AUA (or SXM).
I have made three short local calls, received and sent MANY texts/pics and emails on the beach off wifi with zero cost.
If you have T-Moblie just take it off airplane mode and it will say "Welcome to SInt Maarten" and you are good to go
I know it's lame to change for this trip but keep it in mind for the future
