Enjoy a day with me at the Taino Bay Cruise Port in Puerto Plata Dominican Republic! You won't even need an excursion at this port because there's plenty to keep you busy at Taino Bay! 🌞 Day 3 on Jewel of the Seas | Puerto Plata Port Tour (Taino Bay), Lazy River, Food, & More! 🌴 Welcome to Day 3 aboard Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas! Today we’ve arrived at our one and only port stop on this sailing — Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, docking at the vibrant and activity-packed Taino Bay port. Join me as I give you a full walking tour of Taino Bay, show you everything it has to offer — from free lazy river access, family pools, beach areas, to resort-style bars, shopping, hammocks over the water, and so much more (yes, it’s all within the port!). You honestly don’t even have to leave the port to have a fantastic day. 🚶♂️ I’ll also share some thoughts on the cleanliness, vibe, and accessibility of this port, and chat about my delicious (but pricey!) nacho lunch. And of course, we wrap up the day with a look at dinner back on the ship — complete with tiger shrimp, coconut shrimp, and Royal chocolate cake in the main dining room. 💬 Have you been to Taino Bay before?
