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: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/456-caribbean/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where your fellow Cruise Critic members with physical limitations share their advice & experiences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szt Posted November 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2023 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
