In years past, the granite was cut with torches heated to 3400 degrees with diesel fuel.

The fun continues the minute cruisers disembark in each port, with excursions ranging from dogsledding to private helicopter tours. Back on board, Gabree recommends The Chef’s Table for a truly memorable meal — and I, too, can attest to this. While on board a Caribbean sailing with the cruise line, I had the chance to indulge in this chef- and sommelier-led multi-course food and wine pairing adventure. Four years later, I still find myself dreaming of the delicious circular-shaped dessert known as “The World” — the perfect combo of peanut butter ganache, chocolate mousse, and salted caramel gelato). While pulling into port one day, I remember digging into a hearty lunch of fish and chips featuring fresh-caught Alaskan halibut. (HAL is the first cruise line to serve fresh, certified-sustainable Alaskan seafood.) As of September, acclaimed chef Masaharu Morimoto is the Fresh Fish Ambassador as part of the line’s Global Fresh Fish Program.
Don’t just see the Great Land’s glaciers, feel them come alive on an Alaska cruisetour. Get up close to Mother Nature’s masterpieces and listen for the crash of “white thunder”.

To that end, you can walk through the duty-free shop and take the cobblestone path that will lead you to a resort-style pool, bar, and activity area.
Shore Excursions
There are loungers near the splash pad where you can keep an eye on your children while spending time relaxing. The splash area has a tree that splashes water, small water slides to enjoy, and a fish that children can climb on. The shops include Diamonds International and Effy Jewelers, well known partners of Carnival. There are many other shops as well as locals selling artisan products. First, of course, you will visit the duty-free and tax-free store.
Amber Cove, Dominican Republic
Ocean World is located just 15 minutes from Amber Cove and also offers bird, shark, and sea lion shows. You can book in advance or even make the last-minute decision once you pull into port. It’s an item that Amber Cove makes easy to check off of your bucket list. If you want to switch things up a bit, one excellent way to take to the sea is to head out on a catamaran for a snorkeling trip. You’ll feel like a real jetsetter taking in the views from a catamaran’s spacious deck or net as you sail to your snorkeling destinations.
Welcome to the Caribbean gem that is Amber Cove, a top-rated cruise port nestled on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. This comprehensive guide will serve as your passport to the best this enchanting destination has to offer, from thrilling adventures to relaxation, and beyond. At the end of the L-shaped pier, cruise passengers will find to the left a Service Area, Restaurants, and the best Shopping in the Cruise Center. The area on the right side is known as the Aqua Zone, and that's where you will find the most relaxing spaces and fun activities. Wi-Fi is available at the Amber Cove Cruise Center for $8.00 for the full day. Amber Cove is also a great cruise port for travelers who appreciate historic sites, and landmarks, visit unique museums, watch cultural shows or taste local flavors.
As for the layout of the port area itself, it’s fairly easy to navigate. First, your ship will dock at the pier, and then it’s a short walk to Amber Cove. Once through, straight ahead will be the meeting points for booked shore excursions. To the left are a number of restaurants, shops, and the way to exit the port and grab a taxi.
Sanocho is a popular Latino American dish that has the consistency of a thick soup made from stewed meats and local vegetables such as yucca and plantain. If you visit the Information Center at Amber Cove, you can get your passport stamped with an unofficial stamp showing that you visited Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Puerto Plata dates back to the 16th century, and the port serves as a gateway to the area.
Most people do not tip taxi drivers, although tipping is acceptable for good service. Parque Nacional Isabel De Torres is located about the same distance from Amber Cove as Puerto Plata, although just south of the city. The strategic location of the port will potentially result in future cruise stops in Cuba, Carnival says. Just next to the pool area are those alluring, swirling slides. The side-by-side tubes allow you to race your friends to the bottom and provide just as much (if not more) fun for adults as for kids.
