Where do Cruise Ships Dock in Curacao

Quick question. We leave on a cruise this Thursday (yep, this week) on the Carnival Miracle. One of the ports of call is Curacao. Can anyone tell me if the Miracle docks at the Mega Pier or if it goes up the channel to dock in the inner harbor? Just trying to make a few plans ahead of time instead of floundering around once we get there. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Only time we have been there, it docked up the channel, but that was several years ago, so don't know if this will help.

Carnival Miracle will go up the channel just past the floating bridge!

Thanks for all the info. We were planning to just walk around town and it looks like this will make it easy.

This is a beautiful port....haven't been there since 2000. You will enjoy.

Just got back today. Wonderful cruise. Miracle did indeed dock at the channel dock area making it very easy to get off and walk about town. The pontoon bridge stayed open the whole day. I couldn't find anyone who knew why or if there was something wrong with it. Last trip we did get to walk across it, saw it open and shut and rode the small ferries back and forth. Curacao is still a beautiful place
