I was on the first cruise ship to go to Cabo Rojo on the NCL Pearl on January 4, 2024. They were so excited to welcome us. It bought tears to my eyes to think of the years of planning in making this a reality for them. It was a much needed boost to their economy. It is still a work in progress but give them a little time. We took an excursion to a beach ( don’t remember which one) and passed signs for as many as 13 planned hotels. As nice as the beach was when we returned they took us through the beach area right by the dock. Next time I want to go there! Can’t wait to go back!

There is one building open for shopping. Others in progress. They were so grateful to have us there. We took ship excursions to Eco Del Mar Beach after Baby Beach got cancelled. Free drinks. Food to purchase. Beach chairs, umbrellas and shade. Water was beautiful though a little bit of rocks when we first got in. Would recommend! Give them 5 years and this place will be amazing! Lots of hotels planned as well

Can’t wait to see this port grow! They were so excited to welcome us this morning. Give them a try!

As a Sapphire level I am not able to book any restaurant without paying for it ahead of time. I am entitled to 2 free nights of dining. I did not get the dining package. I'm pissed that I am unable to make my reservations before boarding the ship. What good are these perks! Don't want to be eating at 9pm in the evening!

I’m on the NCL Pearl out of Miami January 2. I don’t know if they are tender ports.

NCL decided to changed our port in the Dominican Republic from Puerto Plata to Cabo Rojo and Catalina Island. Does anyone have any recommendations for these 2 ports? Going in January
