Creator's Key Takeaways

this is one of my favorite Cruise ports

it's one of the best ports uh in the Caribbean I simply love being here

the alcohol was fantastic this is uh definitely an A+ uh a place to come and just sit and relax and enjoy the Caribbean

the biggest downside is you're not going to really experience a Dominican Republic culture

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get off the ship early to secure a seat, especially if multiple ships are in port.
✓Bring cash as your cruise card will not work; credit cards are accepted.
✓Get a full meal before leaving the ship as food prices are high.
✓If leaving the port area, consider Uber instead of taxis for better prices.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting off the ship and navigating the port — The walk off the ship is not long; tuck-tuck taxis are available but expect to tip.
Cost of food and drinks — Drinks cost $10-$20; meals are around $30-$35; bring cash and plan expenses.
Crowds with multiple ships — If three ships are in port, consider staying on board as it gets very packed.

YouTube Video Description↓

Join me as I do a full review of Taino Bay Cruise Port which is in El Port of Puerto Plata within the Dominican Republic. This is the main port on the north coast and its berths allow the simultaneous docking of three ships and the disembarkation of up to 14,000 passengers. This terminal makes Puerto Plata one of the main destinations in the Caribbean. Taino Bay offers new tourist facilities that include commercial spaces and gourmet experiences in many different restaurants and bars. Taino Bay is just steps from the historic district that includes Fort San Felipe, an important historical site, and the colonial heart of Puerto Plata. The development area also includes dozens of gift shops, antique shops and iconic places like Paseo Doña Blanca, the Parque Central, the Cathedral of San Felipe, the Gregorio Luperón museum, the Ámbar Gallery, Paraguas Street, the Amber Museum, the Historical Fire Department and many more places.
