here is what i get when trying to get tickets
s.
The San Juan - Santo Domingo route is no longer running and there are currently no direct alternative ferry services between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic either. Please browse our route, port, destination or ferry company pages to see if there is an alternative option or follow the links on this page for further information.n
You have to buy tickets through a travel agent in the DR. You cannot buy them on-line.
I'm curious about something... ( no not a fugitive just yet)..
but can you travel to Puerto Rico with just your US Driv Lic or birth Cert ? or do you need to show the Passport as well ?
I'm not talking about entering FROM the US, I'm talking about entering PR from the DR,
I clarified my answer.
