Creator's Key Takeaways

what I love about this port is that it has a pier it's not a tender port and it's a short pier

Carnival has a really impressive area for Cruisers to use at no cost

Puerto Plata is not the spot for the idilic beach day it's just not

you're going to have a great day

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider your transportation options before you leave on your cruise because you'll probably want to arrange a driver or book an Excursion that includes transportation in advance.
If you do want to visit a beach, these are two public options that cost you nothing although renting a chair and umbrella will cost you.
If you're looking for things to do at the Amber Cove cruise port you're in luck because there are a ton of great options.
