Great....thank you.

Thank you all....your answers are most appreciated.

Hi all.. I'm a U.S. citizen traveling on an NCL cruise beginning/ending in NYC and visiting Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. My question is: are cruise passengers required to get a Visa for this port? From what I'm seeing online if your stay is less than 30 days....its not required but I am looking to hear about recent experiences travelling there on this cruise to read what others have experienced. All other ports on this itinerary look fine except for this one. Thanks in advance.

Thats a great picture......Enjoy your day.

On another forum under NCL titled "My View: Escape 'The Storm' with us! (Semi-Live) someone had mentioned that on the Escape they were questioned if they ever had the measles.....was that question always on there in the past? I dont recall seeing that...

I just signed on to follow your review and am looking forward to following along with your cruise as well. Also....I love your online name......."Cakeisgood".....I love a good slice of cake....or most any other dessert for that matter......Have a wonderful trip!

Hi there....no we do not go on our cruise until February. But since I last posted I've decided to book with NCL excursion called "Puerto Plata Highlights and Beach Escape. So, we will get to see a few touristy sights and a popular beach and have a little time left to enjoy and shop a bit at the port.

Thank you.....its appreciated.

I was guessing based the itinerary listed on the printout by NCL that says Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata....but regardless of my starting point......I was curious if anyone had a recent experience with local day pass at a resort. Im in the figuring out stage as to what we want to do beyond the port. We will of course check out what Taino has to offer. I'm looking at youtube video's of it at present and it looks really nice. Have you been to Taino?

I am arriving via the NCL getaway in Puerto Plata (Im guessing Amber Cove) and I am looking to book an all-inclusive resort day pass. The one offered by NCL is Emotion by Hodelpa Puerto Plata is 169 per person but I do see if I go independently there are two other resorts that look equally interesting. One is Viva Wyndham V heaven, which includes drinks, food $60 per person and the other is playa Bachata spa and resort. I don’t have a price on that one as of yet. I’m curious if any other cruisers have went to any of the above resorts mentioned and how was your experience there? We dock at 7 am a most resorts don’t open for day pass till 10 am…so at best we’ll have 3 1/2 hrs till we need to depart back to the port.Just looking to hear about other people’s experiences……thank you. p.s. I am aware there is a forum for Dominican Republic questions...but it appears many posted questions that go there are left unanswered. Im hoping to have better luck here. Thanks everyone....
