Happy Birthday Stephanie! She's 44 today! I got her some birthday cruise magnets to put on her cabin door. So cute! Cody got an Uber from his hotel and picked us up on the way to the port. We boarded the ship about 12:30. After we checked in and unpacked we checked out the boat, ate lunch and met up with Cody and Stephanie. It rained for awhile but stopped. We left port at 4:30 pm. No more rain but a bit cloudy. Kai got to call for her birthday from Brazil. It was good talking to him. We ate dinner together at the Sapphire restaurant.

Monday
We were at sea all night and all today. It was a bit cloudy but warm. We all slept in and enjoyed being lazy. We ate at the buffet and hung out at the pool most of the day with Cody and Stephanie. We ate dinner at the Sapphire restaurant again. Each night is a different menu. It was really good tonight. We went to a show called "Blankety blank" contestants filled in the blanks. It was entertaining but kinda stupid. Later we went to the show in the Palace Theater called "Invitation to dance." it was really good. We dock tomorrow in Puerto Plata Dominican Republic.
"WELCOME TO PUERTO PLATA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC:
Puerto Plata is the Dominican Republic's oldest Northern city. Nestled by the ocean with mountainous backdrop, the city offers a lively pier know as the Malecon, colorful shops, and opulent homes from the 1800's. The city is famous for "Parque Independencia", a park fringed by royal palms and Victorian architecture. Enjoy cable cars for sky high views, tours of local cacao farms, and some of the clearest amber in the world."

We docked at 7am for our first onshore adventure! We met up with Cody and Steph again at 9am. It's handy we're on the same deck. We spent the day on the island, mostly at the pool. It was beautiful out! We walked around the city of Puerto Plata for a bit. It was cool seeing it. Got back on the boat and sat by the pool a bit. We showered and went to dinner. We watched an ice skating show. It was super good. Tomorrow we dock in Labadee Haiti.

Wednesday
We docked in Haiti. Mike didn't zipline but Steph, Cody and I did. It was so much fun. I almost lost my hat. Cody actually did but someone onshore saw it drop. Luckily it hit the sand and not the ocean. He walked back down the beach and got it. It's so beautiful here. I walked back to the boat and grabbed Michael. We got something to eat and went back to the beach. We walked around the island and sat on the beach for a bit. We headed back to the boat. I laid out on the boat for awhile and read a book. It was so nice. Showered and went to dinner. After we went to a couple of shows and headed to bed. We are at sea all night and day heading back to Miami.
