Local tip
Read the recreation product first. The terminal operator lists pools and a lazy river among its facilities. Listing an amenity does not establish that every passenger can use it without a separate charge.

Port hours vary by ship and date in Cabo Rojo. Check your sailing itinerary for scheduled arrival and departure, then the onboard app or daily notice for all-aboard, ship time and any last-tender deadline. Subtract clearance, both transfers and a return buffer before choosing an outing. Scheduled arrival is not your guaranteed time ashore.
Our suggestion: choose one of the three activities below, confirm current entry and both connections, and use your ship’s actual all-aboard or last-tender deadline.
Take your ship card or wearable, the identification specified in the ship’s port briefing, any tour ticket and a way to pay. Save your terminal name, return deadline and ship’s emergency contact offline. Ask whether your original passport is required for this visit; do not assume a phone photo replaces required identification. Dominican pesos (DOP). Confirm the quoted currency, entry and both transport charges before paying. Optional purchases are separate.
