This was our least favorite port of call. We didn't go on any excursions and so we can't speak to that, the excursions did look fun though. Amber Cove was beautiful and rich in historic information but the only way to swim was to rent a little shack on the water or take a taxi. It was mostly all shopping and there was a little park with historical data about Amber and dinosaurs. The BEST part of Amber Cove was getting a personalized blown glass creation from a man at one of the shops. He was making personalized blown glass to order and another man carefully wrapped the glass for each guest. For $15 he made us a flower piece with our last name on it (my new last name). It was very special and the best souvenir we got for the entire cruise. (I included a picture) Overall we liked it but it still was not our favorite at all. We didn't go to the beach because we didn't want to use a taxi. Many people used the taxis and it's recommended.

Very pretty port with lots of places to shop. It is expensive though. The pools, and scenery are beautiful. Honestly though my grandson and I walked around the immediate tourist area then went back on magic to enjoy a smaller crowd. My daughter did the waterfall excursion and said it was the best thing she has ever done. Saw the country in a tour bus and felt safe. My nieces loved the water slides and pools. Rained again here at the end but was still nice!!!!

We just stayed in the port area as none of the excursions interested us. We were thrilled to have a balcony to witness as we neared this beautiful island which is so lush and mountainous. The pool area and swim up bar were nice. Umbrellas were $20 for the day which we needed. My brother in law made the mistake of scooping ice from beer bucket into his drink and was sick for 2 days after
