On Monday the 5th of March, the ladies of Casa de Campo surfed the tide of FUN aboard the Costa Luminosa cruise ship during a very special Café de la Leche event in aid of the Hogar del Niño!
The Costa Luminosa cruise ship docks at the Casa de Campo – La Romana port every Monday through December to the end of April, this year for the first time offering “visits” aboard this magnificent floating palace, giving Casa de Campo villa owners and residents the opportunity to go aboard for dinner, drinks, music, dancing, shopping and gaming in the casino.

And so instead of taking place in a Casa de Campo villa hosted by a generous Casa de Campo community member (as is normally the case), this month’s Café de la Leche took place aboard the grand Costa Luminosa – and boy did we have a great time!
Champagne on the sun deck of the Costa Luminosa!
Elegantly staged on one of the Costa Luminosa’s sun deck and pool area, with a magnificent view of La Romana, Central Romana and the magnificent villas lining the coastal neighborhood of Punta Aguila in Casa de Campo, the ladies enjoyed champagne and snacks whilst also taking the opportunity to take some wonderful sunset photos.

Whilst some other photos came out slightly more “comical” than others…..

Later when the “Café de la Leche” part of the evening had ended, the majority of the ladies chose to stay aboard and explore the ship, indulge in a little shopping and of course a few drinks….

This is one wonderful event which is certainly best described by photos, so here they are – enjoy!
About the “Café de la Leche” The Cafe de la Leche is a monthly charitable event, a little like a coffee or a tea party held for the ladies of Casa de Campo (although men are occasionally invited). The aim of the Café de la Leche gatherings are to boost the milk supplies of the Hogar del Niño (a daycare and educational facility in La Romana) – which uses the milk to feed more than 200 babies cared for daily in it’s crib room.

The Hogar del NiñoThe Hogar del Niño is a children’s daycare and educational center for over 1500 children, located in La Romana town, just outside of Casa de Campo. Children from as young as just a few weeks old up to 18 years old are cared for and educated daily, from as early as 5:30am and staying as late as 7pm. The organization also provides special schooling to over 75 hearing impaired and blind children, as well as a vocational school where over 235 students receive classes in different areas like: sewing; industrial preparation, installation and electrical maintenance; plumbing and management of computer office programs.
