As we count down the days until cruise ships can sail from the United States once more, cruisers are turning to other getaways to satisfy their wanderlust and for many, escape the cold and snow of winter. The Dominican Republic is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the Caribbean, seeing millions of visitors every year. If you’re an avid cruiser, you’ve probably visited the sunny skies and swaying palms of Amber Cove in Puerto Plata before and know firsthand how gorgeous the island can be. The good news for travelers is the Dominican Republic is open for tourism, but there are a few travel restrictions to consider before you book your trip.
