Email [email protected] Today I’m exploring Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic on a Norwegian cruise stop. I got off the ship to do a real walk around and learn what this port is known for, including amber, cigars, and rum. I also visit two of the most photographed spots in town, Pink Street and Umbrella Street. If you’re planning this port and want ideas that feel fun, walkable, and worth your limited time ashore, this is a great “come with me” guide.
