Would you cancel a trip to Dominican Republic??
We have a trip planned in August to Punta Cana for our family of 5.
After all the recent incidents that have happened, would you still go? I know these are isolated cases and we are not staying at any of the properties where these incidents occured, but part of me is still uneasy.
I need advice!!!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I would cancel. Something is going on and I don't think it is worth the risk imo.

Re: Would you cancel a trip to Dominican Republic??
No way in hell would I bring my child there.
I wouldn't bring myself either but my one job is to protect my child and no vacation is worth putting their safety at risk.
There are so many other beautiful places to go, not worth it.

Re: Would you cancel a trip to Dominican Republic??
I would cancel...it would give me pause if I was going to lose entire cost of the trip though

Re: Would you cancel a trip to Dominican Republic??
I would cancel. I have been there a couple of times and felt safe, but with the recent news, there is no way I would go there. I would feel paranoid the whole time.

I actually went right before all of this started happening and had a great time... was telling everyone id go back in an instant and bring my kids. Now hearing everything ive heard i would be cancelling !!!!! Way too scary to have so many poisoning cases at random.

Yes, I would cancel. No way I would put myself at risk, let alone my children, for a vacation of all things! Obviously there is something very wrong happening there right now!

A travel agent on my local Facebook site mentioned that there are extrely long waits on the phone to get through to the resorts due to the number and d people cancelling.

Re: Would you cancel a trip to Dominican Republic??
I'm going in 3 weeks and am very excited. Shit happens everywhere. Happens here in NY all the time. Just don't drink from the mini bar in your room. Stay close to your family and keep your eyes open like you would anywhere else. I just had coworkers return and they had an amazing time.

We have our vacation booked for Puerta Plata in August. We're not cancelling. I feel like they're isolated incidents. Anything can happen anywhere. We'll go and not walk around alone, and be careful, of course, but hopefully we'll have a great vacation.

Re: Would you cancel a trip to Dominican Republic??
It would really suck if you lost all your money. I would probably cancel though because I would be afraid. It's too much going on right now.

Re: Would you cancel a trip to Dominican Republic??
Sorry but I agree with everyone else. I would not be comfortable going. I wouldn't be able to relax even for a second, especially with children.
Also, even though odds are you'd be completely fine, I think their tourism industry needs to feel some pain, to force them to start taking these "incidents" more seriously.

I was reading the news just now and there are a whole bunch of new incidents - a woman who got sick on her honeymoon, an older couple who got E. coli - I would absolutely not go.

I’ve never had interest going to the DR and with everything going on I would cancel. I am not a paranoid person but something isn’t right and every story you read gets scarier and scarier.

This too. They need to be hit where it hurts.

Ironic how the article says they hesitated before going. But they thought it wouldn't happen to them. Then it did.
Seems the food is bad there too. Doesn't sound like a place I would want to spend my vacation
