YouTube Video Description

On this day of our Scarlet Lady Dominican Daze cruise we enjoyed Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Our day didn’t go at all as planned, but we made the best of it and had a great time. In the evening we saw Duel Reality, an impressive show and demonstration of talent on Virgin Voyages, and Larissa drank crickets.
