There were so many excursion

There were so many excursion options from our MSC Seascape cruise, but this ended up being a great choice. Beautiful water, friendly crew, and just the right amount of time on the boat. We'd do it again.

Definitely recommend.

We wanted something relaxed and fun while in Puerto Plata and this was exactly that. The water was gorgeous, the snorkeling was enjoyable, and the atmosphere onboard made the trip even better. A great way to spend a few hours ashore.

Puerto Plata Good

We were staying at a resort in Puerto Plata and wanted something different than another day by the pool. The snorkeling was excellent and everyone on board seemed to be having a great time. The few hours flew by.

Unforgettable Snorkeling in Puerto Plata!

We booked this during our stop in Puerto Plata and had a fantastic time. The snorkeling was fun, the water was beautiful, and the atmosphere on the boat was great from the moment we left the dock. One of our favorite excursions of the cruise.

This is exactly the atmosphere we were looking for

Exactly the Vibe We Wanted - My friends and I got off Royal Caribbean looking for something fun and easy. This checked all the boxes. Good music, drinks, snorkeling, sunshine. Nobody was taking things too seriously and everyone seemed to be having a good time

An excellent holiday that I spent with friends.

The Ride Back Was the Best Part - We visited Puerto Plata on Princess Cruises and booked this at the last minute. The snorkeling was fun, but the ride back might have been my favorite part. Everyone was relaxed, music was playing, and the whole boat had that end-of-a-great-day feeling. We walked back to the ship smiling.

A Fun Day on the Water

Very fun experience - we had the whole boat to ourselves which was so nice! Captain and staff were very friendly and very accommodating. Had a fun snorkeling stop to see a reef. They served a great lunch of kabobs and hotdog on good bread. Only complaint was the music was a bit loud to our liking (though we are 60+ so we can now understand the volume complaints of our elders - LOL). Recommend to go on this excursion.

Not doing it again!

Ride from ship was too long. Other side of island. Wasted time. Also sea was very very tough. Should not have gone out. Getting from boat to shore was dangerously fast to beach. Whiplash stop!
