Got off the ship to try and find a T-shirt for my daughter. Not very many vendors with those sort of things...we spent only 20 min there and got back on the ship. ...
The port was nice.
I was too afraid to go into the city. Next time, and if my little kids aren’t with me, I will go- or do an excursion. It didn’t seem as bad as I had heard online.
The port was fun. There was some entertainment, a small bar and lots of vendors. It was clean and the churros were so good. ...
No excursion as we value our lives. We never left the secured area of the Cruise Port due to the violence that occurs in the D.R. This shouldn't even be considered a "Cruise Port" as it is extremely dangerous to leave the Cruise Port area. ...
Where we ported all excursions take over 45-60 min. to get to. We opted to get off but walk through the shops they had next to the ship. That didn't take too long then we went back to Ship and ate & drank (safely) for free! I'm going again in Feb 2020 & from the reviews I've seen so far, not good or noting any improvements so will likely just stay on the ship. ...
