Review summary

Overall it was good. I wouldn’t say great because they continue to send the boat out knowing it’s not fixed. If they continue stopping in the Bahamas, they might as well stop advertising Puerto Plata. Almost is false advertising because are continuously not getting what they paid for.

I love the area. Spent time there during my college years

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Carnival knew the ship wasn’t fixed because they refunded a portion of the port fees about 16 hours before they made an announcement that we couldn’t make it there and instead go to Grand Bahama Island that Friday.
