Review summary
Carnival really needs to work on there boarding setup and policy....besides there is NO water to buy when waiting(4HRS!) and it being a complete mess of different people in a huge line with all different boarding times....this could be alleviated with more!! staff at port setting up different lines for different boarding times all over the waiting area!!! Back to the cruise....delicious food and LOTS of it everywhere, great staff and clean ship!! The ports of call where great Bahama's was great and GRAND TURKS a BEAUTIFUL MUST!!! Amber cove has beautiful mountain scenery but dirty brown water and every excursion is a 1hr+ drive each way!!!! Why way out by Puerto plata way?? Everything is by Punta Cana and is in between the Atlantic Sea and Caribbean Sea with half the drive time.....also little to nothing in Amber Cove port besides your normal vendors and duty free....Will definetely do another Eastern cruise will just remove any cruises that port in Dominican Republic and Mexico(Cancun)...would love to see more Grand Turks and Caicos and small islands around that are...St. Thomas...St Kitts, St Lucia etc.....
