Creator's Key Takeaways

We are in Porto Plata, Dominican Republic. And do you see these waves? Look at that. And the clouds.

A lot of people come and do the resorts and they don't get an opportunity to really see and explore the culture.

No hurricanes, no property taxes, no crime.

When you hang with the Howards and you watch our channel, then you see perspectives from all different perspectives.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Sometimes cruise port days do not go exactly as planned. It was raining in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, so we did not get out and explore on foot like we normally would. Instead, Keith, Free, and our friends James and Pam took a drive through the city to see parts of Puerto Plata most cruise passengers never see. We passed through local neighborhoods, saw the preparations being set up for Carnival, checked out some of the surrounding properties, and even drove through the Haitian community area of the city. Even though the weather was not perfect, it gave us a chance to see a different side of Puerto Plata beyond the cruise port. Sometimes the unexpected turns into the most interesting part of the trip. If you cruise to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, there is a lot more to see than just the port area. ๐Ÿ“ฒ BOOK your next cruise with us: https://hwthbookings.cruisebrothers.comโ  ๐Ÿ“ง Email: hwthbookings@gmail.com Explore Our Links! ๐Ÿ– All Inclusive Resort Day Passes https://ResortforaDay.com?Click=95807โ  ๐ŸŽข Excursions https://www.viator.com/Ensenada/d26218-ttdโ  ๐ŸŒด Cruise Excursions https://www.shoreexcursionsgroup.com/?id=743409โ  #hangingwiththehowards #puertoplata #dominicanrepublic #tainobay #cruiseport #cruiselife #caribbeancruise #cruisevlog #travelvlog #cruiseexcursions #cruiseports #cruisetips #royalcaribbean #cruisetravel #travelcaribbean #cruisecommunity #rainydaytravel #explorethecity #caribbeanculture #travelwithfriends
