Where did you hear this from? Is there another thread or newspaper article? We are headed there in Jan.

We were in the Q&A with the CD on the ship and one of the other passengers asked him if the people that were on the LaRomana excursion were going to be compensated for the incident. Rumor was that they were robbed so I was trying to find out for sure. We went off ship without incident but it's scary to think that could have been us!

I don't know for sure but it almost sounded like it was one of the vans actually for the Carnival hosted excursion. The reason I say that is because when we heard about the incident it was during the Q&A with the cruise director and someone asked if the passengers were going to be compensated and the CD said yes, I would think if it was through a privately hosted excursion Carnival wouldn't compensate? I'm not sure though. . .

Just got off the Breeze this morning (boarded on 29 Aug) and am headed home, we had an awesome time, but I was going to ask what happened in La Romana? We heard there was an incident on one of the Carnival excursions but didn't get details, and I don't want to speculate too much but it almost sounded like maybe the taxi/bus got robbed? Has anyone else heard or was affected?

Btw, we took a private excursion with ProExcursions on the catamaran tour and it was a blast!
