YouTube Video Description↓

We are not complainers and we look for the good in everything... but we just could not find ANY positives in this excursion!!! We were all so excited to visit the Dominican Republic and planned a great day at the beach with our kids and our friends. Lori and I went to the excursions desk and booked the PlayaBachata All-Inclusive Beach Day as it had good reviews as an excursion and we wanted an AI resort. Carnival Mardi Gras pulls into the beautiful port of Amber Cove and we explore the port a little before it is time to board the bus to our resort for the day. Immediately upon arrival, I didn't get good vibes when they told us to wait in the lobby and gave no other instructions. Finally, a small lady with an even smaller voice who was very difficult to understand comes to give about 60 people instructions for the day. None of us could hear or understand her except that we had yellow bracelets so we were to stay on 'this' side of the resort.... Well, 'this' side of the resort had no available loungers at the beach... well that were in working order anyway. We found LOTS of broken chairs! The boys used their Lego building skills to take apart the broken chairs and piece them together enough to sit on. Ok, we have chairs... food and drinks? Service? Nope! No one came to check on us to see if we needed anything... geez us constructing furniture on the beach SHOULD have attracted someone! We found a long line in which we could get drinks... they were ok. But the food... sorry, I don't eat food with bugs on it! Needless to say, it was the worst cruise excursion experience we have ever had!!! We were on the first shuttle back to the ship where we enjoyed the rest of the day... and went to the shore excursions desk to request a refund! #WorstCruiseExperience #TerribleCruiseExcursion #CarnivalMardiGras Please SUBSCRIBE, Comment, Like, Share & Follow! *Check out our travel & camera gear on Amazon* https://www.amazon.com/shop/eecctravels This link has all of the camera gear we use to create our videos!!
