through the other end oh they got some cool art here this over here looks like a little Splash Zone Splash Zone kids they got one here you look at the flamingos behind here all right this says it all it's buo clock somewhere coconut water tastes like happiness little bar right here I love the outdoor market area here with the birds parrots oh there's a Nathan's food truck now if you find the lighthouse that's where the pool area is you can see where the cruise ship Parks I wonder if you can get up there we going have to go up there and see if looks like he can get up to that first deck yes you can go up in this Lighthouse I'm going to show you some great views of this place it's $5 to go up I'll be doing that don't worry and there's my wife she got a prime chair right in the front I here's the pool area a beautiful little pool area and it's going to be a hot day so you want to be close to this and they got an indoor bar here as well right here by the pool area you see the pool in the background you turn around from that is the famous Nathan hot dog Burgers hot dogs now these are not included when you come here but you can see their menu here chicken tenders hot dogs Burgers nuggets oh my God look at all these birds walk in here and see there's a ton of flamingos here for sure surprisingly there's a lot of shopping in this area oh look at these murals does this Scream the Dominican Republic this where Laona is Dominican ah you can see him painting here but right across the way in this building over here is a drugstore and Market anything you forgot on this ship is probably in here any snacks you want I see some drinks and some chips just like a little general store all right there's something you want on a hot day love Pops look at all the flavors they got here pop stickles that's a love pop that's coconut that thing is incredible I don't even like coconut you know I was coming up this Lighthouse let's start to climb I don't know if you can go all the way to the top but you're going to see some great views of your cruise ship and the overlooks here and of course the lav Ramona pole we're still climbing oh man this is higher than enough F there's your pool area in La Ramona and every video I've ever watched I never seen anybody sitting on this side cuz it's hot here in the Dominican so yes you only get to that first level it's $5 to come up here but this is for the channel we'll do a 360 up here so you can just see the whole thing there's the ocean side pool side and then out here is the way all the markets all the straw markets all the places to shop and way in the distance is more Dominican Republic everyone down there is my wife I don't know if I'm pointing to her but she's right in there so the bottom line on the lighthouse if you want some incredible views you should probably come up here because there is one a great view all the way around and as I suspected you can't get all the way up to the top at least I haven't figured out how to do it underline store what is that it's like cuffs mugs shirts hats that's a neat store I love the ceiling too umbrellas there's Michael Jackson himself is in the Dominican Republic that's pretty cool now right past the market and the stores there you turn around there's a couple bars there's one over there I see some frozen drinks here's another bar on the opposite side but if you keep walking through here you're going to see an information desk and a lot of places where your tours are going to meet this is where the bus is and if you want Taxi Service it's back in this spot right here taxis parking information restrooms there's more open market stuff over this way now one thing you got to remember about lav raana is it's not only a place that you stop this is a starting point for a lot of cruise ships out here on the other end is you'll see some security checkpoints because people start their cruises in La Romana how is it there's the information desk right here but out here's where your taxis and buses are for people that booked excursions we're just going to hang out by the port there goes a bus a tour this must be a Wi-Fi hotspot where these parrots are hanging around and the trees so unique I don't know how Michael's staying cool here because it's hot it's definitely a neat little port to visit and get off the ship don't stay on the ship in these ports support these local people and at least come out and maybe get in the the flass Z or the pool area and there's a lot of shopping as well look at this guy in La Ramona there's the other side of that tax dutyfree but over here is more stuff and you can actually see how close your cruise ship Parks I thought it might have been a tender stop the way they were acting on Carnival but no you pull right up here no tender needed Dominican things ah this building's got some AC in it oh that's cool they got a piranha Joe's here this is all the location since the they have we were at the one I think in Nassau Bahamas Now you see where all these loung shairs are this is the Overflow this is when you don't get off early you're going to be sitting over here but you can at least get a good shot of your ship and the captain's view up there today and there's a good shot of the ship as well people are still getting off and you can see where they tie up this ship now where these chairs are it is full of sand so it is very beachy and you can walk along here and I tell you they got some palm trees so you are in the shade a little bit here and there's that Lighthouse I keep seeing them pull umbrellas out of here that must be where they store the umbrella is inside the lighthouse and look over on this side more chairs more chairs to sit plenty of seating here don't worry about that so another seating there if you want to sit by the ocean you can come out this way you can see there's a glass Shield the whole way around but you get to at least sit by the ocean if you don't want to sit by the pool one thing about La Ramana is there is no beach access you got to leave this port to get to the beaches and there's my wife she got off this boat early to get us this spot by the pool cuz I'll be in this very shortly it's hot today so let's just walk around the pool because I want to see what's on the other side here I see a lookout here or maybe some tables I'm not sure what this pool is I guess it's a little kitty pool but you go over on this side and you can see the swim up bar a little better and there is a life guard on duty there you go that's the swim up bar now opposite that swim up bar here is this place it's another bar of course why wouldn't they have more bars but out here they got a cool little Lookout is this beautiful or what you can come out here sit and have some lunch bring your Nathan over here and have this view like this incredible right I should just do a swing around here so you can see the whole deck fantastic view see there's the opposite side if I was you come to this side it doesn't seem to be as crowded PR you try to fit it all in this bub bag of yours never let it run away from your sight Chin Chin Bean to Bar cool place here one of my favorite chocolate stores I think it's called Chin Chin we've got one in Amber Cove before some of the best chocolate you'll have oh my God and now it's just time to get off this Lighthouse and get in that water because I'm hot and I deserve it today all right it's time to get in here I hope it's warm oh it's very warm and I will tell you one thing when you're visiting any Caribbean Place make sure you got Sun pan lotion on because it's hot here and the sun you're very close to the equator we're in live Romana honey it's hot wherever you are I'm praying to angels and wishing on stars that will find each other no matter how far should just never know when the weather is going to change in the Dominic Republic La [Music] Roman matter how far cuz 5,000 5,000 miles is breaking my heart breaking my heart
