Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been cruising for 30 years we get off the boat and we go through the uh the port in the Dominican Republic and it's so lovely

one of the best excursions that we have ever gone in on on 30 years of cruising it was a blast

if you're traveling as a solo Cruiser it's a good idea to stick with those those groups that way you're with other people

the whole point is that you want to see someplace new and experience what they have to offer and and go out and explore

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions through the ship for guaranteed return to the ship on time
Consider booking through third-party providers for more flexibility and potentially lower cost
Research local options and book independently if you prefer adventure and flexibility
