    We're cruising aboard the first Carnival sailing out of Miami, Florida in 2021... the Carnival Horizon! We sailed from July 4-18, 2021 on back-to-back cruises with stops in Amber Cove, Half Moon Cay, Aruba, Curacao, and La Romana. This sailing was 95% vaccinated (see our separate protocols video for more information on that) with basically no mask requirements indoors our outdoors, no social distancing, and self-serve buffets. Let's do this thing!

    Could you tell a little more about your experience in LaRomana? Your video reminds me of our experience in Montego Bay, however there was a beach within walking distance. The vendors were crazy pushy and we felt unsafe most of the time. My husband and I are traveling with our 2 children ages 10, 13. Is this a port where we should stay on board and enjoy the ship?

    Great video! Did they really decide to paint the pool during your cruise after being without passengers for 16 months??

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  3 года назад +3

      We heard that it started peeling during the first cruise after they filled the pool again, so I don't think they discovered the problem until then. By the second sailing, people were apparently peeling large pieces of paint off the walls and there were complaints, so they shut it down for two days to fix it!!

      I don't think they had it filled with water during the shutdown, so when they filled it for the 7/4 cruise and people got in it, the paint started peeling and had gotten really bad by the start of that second sailing. A bit of an unfortunate surprise!! :P

      We considered a day pass at Dreams resort for some fun at the beach, but they were closed to day pass guests. The cave tours looked awesome, but we wouldn't have been able to share video, since it's not permitted according to the wording in the excursions. Altos De Chavon looked like an hour or two of fun, but wandering around in the heat with no home base while wearing a mask didn't appeal as much as it could have, ha ha... so we did the best we could with the time we had... sorry to disappoint!! :P
