Excursions from NCL no

[Here4VacaFun]

We’re cruising in April on NCL Getaway.

looking for ideas for the ports;

Tortola, Philipsburg, and Puerto Plata.

There will be a few people  that cannot do strenuous or a lot of walking due to bad knees.

Thanks so much

Welcome to Cruise Critic! I see you found your Roll Call yesterday. Other board(s) to investigate would be the individual ones for your island, under the Caribbean Ports of Call, here:

You might want to research the Disabled Cruise Travel forum too. That is where your fellow Cruise Critic members with physical limitations share their advice & experiences.

In Puerto Plata-we didn’t pre book anything. Just as you exit the pier area there are drivers lined up to take you where you want to go. You give them an idea of what interests you and how long you have. I can’t remember the cost, but it was a fraction of the ship excursions. We told them we can’t do a lot of walking but we wanted to see scenic spots and local culture. Driver took us to some “hidden” spots to see pineapple and mangos growing, he showed us how Larimar is made, gave us a little time in the town center to explore, even took us to a friend’s farm. Then he took us to an awesome restaurant for local delicacies- soooo good. Through it all he gave us some history and political and social insight. 
One caveat/ they only take cash. Depending on your group size, you may need a van. 
Enjoy!
