Rare Turtles06 Posted January 31, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2023 After months of speculation, I’m happy to report that the Gem has docked at Taino Bay today. Here’s a photo I took a few minutes ago from the beautiful Great Outdoors. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Turtles06 Posted January 31, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I’m not sure exactly where in Taino Bay the Escape ran aground last March, but you can see from the breaking waves just how shallow the water is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buford T Justiice Posted January 31, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thank you for posting about your arrival in Puerto Plata / Taino Bay. We hope to be there in about three weeks on the Gem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted January 31, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2023 FWIW the Dawn is docked up the road in Amber Cove next to the Carnival Celebration. Just curious, can another ship dock there next to the Gem, or is it only a one ship pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why NCL sent the Dawn to Amber Cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why NCL sent the Dawn to Amber Cove. No idea. It’s a nice port, but then we went on an NCL excursion to Puerto Plata, which was about a 15 minute drive to get to. Not quite sure what there is to do within walking distance though, but I can definitely see the advantages of docking in Taino Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted January 31, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted January 31, 2023 So we were just sitting out on our balcony in Taino Bay, and looked up and what did we see — the Dawn leaving Amber Cove! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montecarloss Posted February 22, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I saw the Gem when we docked at Amber Cove and was disappointed we did not dock at Taino Bay. Maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
