Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted January 4, 2020 Author #276 Share Posted January 4, 2020 A little rant . We were glad that they had church on Sunday but 6 PM runs into sunset and our dinner time . The service was well attended . 3 of the items on the dinner menu were't available and we're less than thrilled with a busy lido dinner . We continued to smell a lot of cigarette smoke and did find some cigarette butts in the railing baluster with a missing cap . Rant off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted January 4, 2020 Author #279 Share Posted January 4, 2020 We had a day at sea before our next port so we first checked the dinner menu . We found out that the dinner menu was a day off which explained why things weren't available . We wanted to go to breakfast and check the progress on the Christmas decorations .

DeeniEncinitas Posted January 4, 2020 #285 Share Posted January 4, 2020 The stir fry and sushi look yummy! How has your internet been? When we did our 30 day SA cruise the WiFi was not that reliable at all. Our photos took forever to download! Denise😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted January 4, 2020 Author #288 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Dinner delivered usually took from 30 -60 minutes and was usually lukewarm to warm . The kitchen was just 2 floors below us and just forward . When we asked the delivery man why it took so long he said that there was only 2 people to cover the whole ship . The was good and we looked forward to our first visit to the Dominican Republic in the morning . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted January 5, 2020 Author #295 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Coming into the Dominican Republic looked to be a roller coaster ride while we were having breakfast . On the second attempt we were able to make port . The Christmas decorations were looking good . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted January 5, 2020 Author #297 Share Posted January 5, 2020 We had booked a guide for the day and Amber Cove proved to be no different than Puerta Maya in Cozumel or Mahogany bay in Roatan . They are all Carnival built shopping centers designed to keep you and your money there . In order to get to the taxis or guides you must walk the entire length of the mall . In the case of Roatan or Amber Cove you have to walk the entire length of the property and exit through the gate . It's about a mile each way in Amber Cove . In the case of Amber Cove there is a long pier and you have to walk through building # 9 and keep walking until you leave Amber Cove to the street . You then turn left and continue to walk until you meet the taxis and private guides . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the old days of standing at the drill while the person in charge shouted names. The card scanner is so much more efficient! Nice pictures! Does anyone else here think that Princess ship looks like a supermarket cart? A GREAT DESCRIPTION of the Princess ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
