SANTO DOMINGO.- The Boudicca Cruise’s arrival in Santo Domingo Port on Saturday marks the start of Dominican Republic’s 2008-09 cruise ship season, expected to draw through two terminals in the capital city 82,000 tourists, or 22 percent more than the last season.

"Our priority is and will be the satisfaction and safety of the passengers and cruise lines that arrive at the Port and with the support  the authorities we have been able to coordinate efforts to guarantee the cruise tourism’s security and well-being,” said Sans Souci executive director Luis Molina.

He said with the new Sans Soucí Terminal’s start of operations this year, which with the TECDO Fair it was confirmed that it’s a great center for events it will now prove to be the region’s most modern and effective cruise terminal. "With the start of the season Santo Domingo Port’s capacity, organization and infrastructure will be verified, and we’ll attend any need by cruise lines and tourists who visit our country.”

During Boudicca’s welcome ceremony, Molina said more tourists will arrive in Santo Domingo Port because of the concerted effort and investment by the Sans Souci Group giving the port and harbor world class facilities and trained human resources.

The port is covered with hookers and scam artists.

Dear International Living reader,

Most people never see the real Mexico.

I mean, actually see Mexico for themselves… instead of seeing it through the distorted lens of mass media.

That’s a shame, because there is a reason that Mexico the #1 retirement destination on earth.

I know many of those reasons myself. Although I’m not retired, I live in Mexico. And my wife, my friends, and millions of other expats love it here.

There is a rich source of detailed information on Mexico that you should consider mining for yourself before you make any judgments about this amazing country and what it could offer you.

For example… you could be living better than you are now on half the money.

I am wondering what saturday this ship arrived as I was in the capital on Saturday 15 November and the city was dead but it was raining heavily ...there was a cruise ship in la Romana as I left but few passengers ..And no , the ports in SD and in la Romana are not covered with hookers and with scam artists and I wish writers could be here to see for them selves before they give incorrect information. Actually the port at SD below the Sofitel is very attractive and clean and only a very short walk to Calle Conde and the tourist shops
