We are cruising there next spring. So far we plan on using this port as our excursion. How are the lazy river and pool as destinations instead of booking an excursion?

Cruising there in November. Can you book an adventurous excursion at the bay if your cruise line’s excursions are sold out?
@ByteSizeCruises Жыл бұрын
You could but they sell out as well. Viator is a really good option

Walking around to the Fort and the Cathedral- is it far and what about shops on Umbrella street will be there in July Seascape
@ByteSizeCruises Жыл бұрын
It’s def a long walk. About 30-40 min. There are some shops there. Mostly local things which are great

There are taxis offering city tours online. Is it worth taking them or is it possible to do those things walking from port?
@ByteSizeCruises10 ай бұрын
I generally don’t recommend those tours as they are unpredictable. I would recommend enjoying the port or using an official cruise line excursion or something like viator

Not planning on booking an excursion, but am interested in enjoying the sunshine and the lazy river. I think I spotted the entrance to the lazy river in your video. Do you recall if there are chairs nearby that river entrance? Thanks for the little overview!

Do you need a Passport for DR cruising on Royal Caribbean or can you just bring a birth certificate
@ByteSizeCruises5 ай бұрын
If you leave from a U.S. port and return to US port you need birth cert and drivers license If you leave or return outside the U.S. you would need a passport.

Do you need a passport if I’m going in a cruise
@ByteSizeCruises Жыл бұрын
Hi. It depends. If you are a U.S. citizen and the cruise leaves from a U.S. port and returns to a U.S. port you can use you drivers license and actual raised seal birth certificate but it is easier if you have a passport

The port is a secure area so technically you must have a sea pass card to get in/out.
