New Years 2020 – Day 16


We docked at La Romana, Dominican Republic at about 9:45am, the weather was a little cloudy but also very warm.

This area was developed in 1897 as an oil town and a few years ago Carnival Cruise developed it as a cruise port.  There is really nothing else to do at this port or close to it than to get off the ship and wander around in it’s made for cruises port.

We got up late and got off the ship and did just that – wandered around the cruise port. It also rained on us a little bit but we just went inside a store and waited 10 minutes for it to clear up.

 This cruise port shopping was a pretty good one; however, that was it so we went back onto the ship at about 11:00am.

We first went up to the Serenity Deck on top and we were in the sun for about an hour when it rained again, so we went into a hall, it cleared up and we went back to our deck chairs.  When it rained again about 1 hour later, we finally gave up and came in.

Lunch was a little late and afterwards we walked around and in the back of the ship on the 11th floor, we found two new restaurants that we didn’t know about, one Italian and one Asian!!

By this time it was time to go back to our cabin and get ready for the evening.

We first went to the comedy club to hear a comedian who was very, very funny.


Then on to dinner where we were joined by another couple.  There are from a small town up by Green Bay Wisconsin and they missed dinner last night as they were watching the football game.

Dinner was good; however, we are spoiled by the food in Celebrity, which is much better.

Of course next was the casino where Barb lost a little but Ed won a little more so were a little ahead for the night. 

 Tomorrow we dock at Curacao at 1:30pm so good night for now.
