We were here overnight a few months ago.   The ship docks in the industrial port area, so no touristy junk (or amenities). The first night around eight we got off and walked around finding a convenience store about a mile away.  We stood out on the street and drank several beers before heading back to the ship.  Didn't know any Spanish, but they took our $ and was able to bum some cigarettes too.  Rained most of the time and were soaked by the time we got back.  Still a fun night.

 

The next day we took a taxi to the old town and walked around.  As others have said lotta vendors pestering you.  Later we found a bar off an alley and had several local beers. The bartender's brother took us back to the ship later for $10.

 

Any chance you know the name of the bar or location?

I also sailed on Pegasus 2 January 1990 . I did the 14 days from Dominican rep.

round trip . It was a great itinerary 12 islands in 14 days . I was just going through pictures of the trip but have very few of the ship . BB King was suppose to be on the cruise for the first week of the trip but had taken ill , so Ronny Hawkins was on instead . The cruise was advertised has a rock and roll cruise for the first week .

I do remember some people coming on board that were on a Carnival ship docked behind us in Granada and they said that there ship was like a retirement home compared to the Pegasus and wished they were on our ship .

I remember the food and service being great and free wine at dinner .
