  • We're back in the Dominican Republic, and we're headed to Sunscape Puerto Plata for the day! Join us as we fail at getting breakfast, succeed at negotiating taxi rates, fail at snorkeling, succeed at pool floating, then head back to the ship for an evening filled with Guy's Smokehouse dinner, jazz in the French Quarter, and a Tiki Deck Party on lido... woohoo!! :D
    00:00 BOOM!
    00:04 Good Morning
    02:51 Sunscape Puerto Plata
    04:56 A Quick Dip In The Ocean
    08:10 Lunch At Tamarindo
    09:18 Pool Mode, Activate
    11:03 Coco Cafe Treats
    13:57 On-Site Wrap-Up
    17:42 Back To The Port
    22:27 Guy's Smokehouse Dinner
    24:24 French Quarter
    25:30 Tiki Deck Party
    We're cruising on the maiden voyage of the brand new ship from Carnival Cruise Line... Mardi Gras, sailing out of Port Canaveral, Florida! We sailed from July 31 to August 14, 2021 on back-to-back cruises with stops in San Juan, Amber Cove, Nassau, Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Mahogany Bay. 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!

    What a busy day for you guys! You are definitely cranking out ALL the wonderful content for us!! The price for the taxi did seem a little steep, but I guess that's round trip; nice you were able to get it knocked down a tad. OH I NOTICED THE LITTLE SHOUT OUT!!! BIG PEPE WAS THERE AT SUNSCAPE!!!😍
    The portions for the Smokehouse seemed small, but I bet it would be perfect for just a little taste without filling you up; I'm always SO stuffed on cruises! The Tiki party seemed like such fun...hope they still have that when we are on there! I am so looking forward to it! 🤗

    I've been watching a marathon of y'alls videos this weekend. 😉
    Have y'all ever done a Q&A about yourselves? If so, can someone direct me?
    My husband, youngest daughter, and I. are planning a trip on the MSC Seaside or MSC Seashore
    (Any advice?) Either in October (afraid of bad weather). This will be my daughter and my 1st cruise. I am SO excited!!😁
    I digress. I was curious if y'all have any kids, and if so, do they ever cruise with y'all? I'm thinking you're about my same age. I knew for sure when Jay was talking about rotary phones!😂
