Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5

Third time at this port - love the area that Carnival has for their customers. Beautiful pool area with water slides, zip lining, basketball, bars, and one of the nicest little shopping areas. Have gone to resort beaches in the past and toured historical areas.

Disembarkation

Customs was very slow thus causing a delay in the disembarking process. We were waiting an extra hour and a half.
