Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #154 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Another great night on Valiant! After dinner at Test Kitchen I headed over to the Red Room for the Miss Behave show. I bumped into some friends from the other group so we sat together and had an absolute blast! I legit had zero idea what was going on 90% of the time but it was a fun! And inappropriate! 🤣 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freelancer3 Posted December 4, 2023 #158 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Valant Lady this week has the most sailors since its launch but service has been very good. There are lines for pizza, ice cream, dinner, but they have moved very quickly. Three cheers for the crew! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbmrt Posted December 4, 2023 #159 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Did you find that you were able to book excursions when onboard or were most of them already sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t tried to book anything but they do keep pushing them on the daily schedule so I’m assuming there are still spots for some available!

Our deck 8 is almost level with her bridge. in 1999 our very first cruise was with Regent (then named, Radisson Seven Seas). We weren't sure if we'd like cruising, so we figured if we were going to be miserable, it was going to be in style. 🤣 We were young & dumb. 🤣 Not our style at all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqlollipop Posted December 4, 2023 #166 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Never been so sad to see a menu. I can almost accept the loss of Fairy Toast as I rarely ordered it, but the loss of the cheese tots is pretty much unforgivable! 😭 At least they still have the waffle... sigh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #167 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Puerto Plata today. I booked an independent excursion through Iguana Mama called Eat, Drink and Be Merry. It was an all inclusive that hit all the tourist areas and included free flowing rum and a lunch for $90usd! The instructions to meet were VERY clear and clear and one of our group (spoiler - it was me) followed them. No matter what time the ship docks, make your way out immediately as the tour leaves 45 minutes after the ship arrives. Simple right? The gangway opened at 8:50am and I was at our tour bus at 9:10am. There would only be 4 of us. I sat in the bus and waited and waited and waited. Two more made it at 10:10am. The fourth person, to be fair, hadn’t even made the ship in Miami so was joining today and arranged to meet us at the first stop rather than make us wait. Seriously, though. Don’t be the person that makes others wait cause you don’t have your crap together. I’m going to post some pics from the day but wanted to say it was excellent! I drank so much rum and mama Juana (the baby maker). I also ran into so many people from the ship who apparently know me. I think maybe I need to not drink for a couple of days! 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #168 Share Posted December 4, 2023 First stop was the cable cars! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #169 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Back to the bus and several rum and cokes later we headed to the rum factory. After a brief video about the history of rum making we were invited to taste 8 different rums. You could have a taste or request a double or triple. The rest is history as they say.,, 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #170 Share Posted December 4, 2023 My favourite was the Mama Juana otherwise known as the Dominican ***** or the baby maker. I fully expected an extortionate price in the gift shop but nope. Literally $10 for a litre bottle. I knew I couldn’t carry that back to Canada so opted for 3 small bottles for $4 each! It was almost free! Let me tell you, no way could we buy ANY alcohol in Vancouver for that price! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #171 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Next stop was lunch where we had a traditional DR rice, beans, and chicken. It was delicious and it was so sweet chatting to the “waiters” - one of whom was the same age as my son. It really made me realize just how privileged we are! One of our group told the poor kid that the beans tasted like dirt. He was so offended. Who does that? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #172 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Next was a stop at the pink street and the umbrella street 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #173 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Cigar making, dancing, and the fort! Though I realize I didn’t get any pictures of cigars or dancing. By this point I had finished one of the bottles of Mama Juana! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 4, 2023 Author #174 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Heading back to the ship! I highly recommend Iguana Mama if anyone is looking for an excursion in Puerto Plata! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
