Spring 2015 - Day 7

It is the island of Dominica today.  Dominica is a very little island and when we were here before, carnival was going on.  Today it is just a little peaceful island with just our cruise ship in port.

After the very long night last night, we woke up and left the ship at 10:00am.

The town is a nice little town and it had a lot of tent type souvenir stands.  This is one of the few ports where there was not a made for the tourists buildings right at the end of the dock so it was fun going into town.

For lunch we found a local restaurant and had their stew, consisting of pork, rice and beans, plantains, breadfruit and coleslaw and it was very good.

As we were heading back to the ship around noon it started to rain so we sat inside a shop for 10 minutes while it cleared up. 

Then we went back to the ship and sat inside with our friends for about an hour before it cleared up and of course we then went to the pool deck to sit in the sun.

We all talked about what cruise we would take next March for our “Blackjack Reunion” cruise and we settled on an 11 night cruise starting February 22 from Ft. Lauderdale that goes all the way to Columbia, South America – so we booked it.

After our nap, we got ready for the evening and went to the show in the theater that we had seen last cruise.  It was one of the best magicians that we had ever seen.

Dinner in the main dining room was with everyone and it was a typical dinner but tonight they had corrected the service problem that we had experience two nights ago.

Then it was to the casino where Barb lost a little and Ed had a great run and we left the casino at 1:00am after playing two hours.

Tomorrow is Grenada so night from the ocean.
