The Santo Domingo cruise ship dock is on what side of the river?
Sorry, but the right answer is
Both sides!!
There is a Tourist Dock in San Souci (Lighthouse side) and a Tourist Dock on the West Side, by the Avenida del Puerto. Cruise ships dock at both places. Done seen it myself...yessiree Bob!
You can check with the cruise line as to which side they will be using.
As a matter of fact, this is one reason that they are dragging the port area so frantically!. A ship (Empress of the Seas) sucked up the rusted out body of an old fridge and really messed up their day.
There seems to be a consolidated effort to bring the cruise ships back to the port of Santo Domingo...

Currently the port on the west side of the river is being renovated to prepare for increased cruise ship traffic.

From what I read in an article they are supposedly gearing up for some of the major cruise ship companies out of Europe. I can't recall which co. at the moment, but they are supposed to make Santo Domingo the home port as of December 2007. They are also talking about something up in Samana.
Now if Europeans want to cruise the the Carribean, they have to fly to Miami which means all kins of visas, and other paperwork. This company was smart as the DR really requests nothing!

Walking distance, since Sofitel Frances is on Las Mercedes street, corner with Arz. Meri?o street, in the Colonial Zone.
On December 2 the MS Deutschland put into Santo Domingo docking on the western side of the river. El Conde was flooded with German tourists all day who simply walked up the stairway across the street from the terminal.
