angnadam Posted August 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2022 We will be cruising on the Grandeur in December and the first port is Dominican Republic, but I don't see any available shore excursions. Just wondering what there might be to do there? TIA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SummerBeee Posted August 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2022 We enjoyed visiting Santo Domingo, booked through the ship because it was a haul to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RobInMN Posted August 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I am not a regular cigar smoker (like maybe 1 every 5 years or more), but when I think of DR, I think cigars. As such, a cigar factory tour would be at the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatonDoolittle Posted August 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I posted this a while back in response to a cigar factory question, but it has information on a full day tour of the city. I was on Celebrity Constellation, but Grandeur probably offers it or something similar - same parent company. Mask info is probably out of date, but otherwise, it was a fun day.

weltek Posted August 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) I'm also noodling over what to do. We've been to most cruise ports in the Caribbean, but Puerto Plata is new to us. We've done all the forts, cigar factories, rum tours, etc. in the Caribbean, so nothing is particularly "exciting" to us. But, we want to get out and see the area, so are going to hire a driver or just taxi. I'm trying to come up with a list that makes it worthwhile. My list of possibilities that suit our interests: Brewery near Sousa Beach Chocolate factory Macorix rum factory Good lunch restaurant Teleferico Mundo King Art Museum Might just ask to be taken to the Chocolate Factory, and then drop us at Mundo King and we'll walk down to Sousa Beach area for the rest of the day. Other options I'm looking at: Doing Chocal chocolate factory and the Damajagua waterfalls. Edited August 23, 2022 by weltek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
