Carnival Conquest<\/em> in Dominica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our itinerary has 5 straight port days where we arrive at 8:30am and depart at 4:30pm. Today’s port was Roseau, Dominica<\/a>. We had breakfast in the buffet and then disembarked to wander around the town. It is less “third-worldy” than Antigua, but more so than St Maarten. We bought two clothing items for Marlene and a couple of magnets, then returned to the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had two hot dogs with sauerkraut for lunch. Very good. Then I did some blogging and did my monthly laptop backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We both napped before dinner and I read a bit. My dinner was antipasti, Seafood Newburg and hazelnut mousse, all terrific. The best meal so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We attended a show by Consuela Ivy<\/a>. She was good, but the sound guy was terrible. The background music was WAY too loud. It drowned her out. There is no excuse for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The casino was exceedingly kind. I was up over $150 at one point but settled for a $75 victory, leaving me $90 down 6 days into the cruise. I can tolerate a loss of $15 per day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
