⚓ Rules for a stress-free port day
- • Ships do not wait for independently booked tours: get the return-to-port time from the operator in writing.
- • Leave a generous buffer before your cruise line's all-aboard time.
- • At tender ports (Samaná), allow for the boat ride ashore and back.
- • Carry ID and your ship card; check the daily program for schedule changes.
- • Prices are published by each operator; confirm what's included (transport, entry fees, lunch) before paying.
