Review summary

Overall, the onboard experience was good. Many of those ground terminal staff at 711 12th Ave, NY, NY were rude and some of them were nasty. However, the ship's staff were nice and friendly.

Embarkation

The ground terminal staff at 711 12th Ave was NOT nice that some of them are very rude, and even nasty. My husband has disability and we were rushed over. A female staff called me to move quickly to the counter and screamed at me when I turned around to help my disable husband to walk over. She yelled, "Your son can help him." We are a family and supposed to stay together in a group and move in a group to the counter at the ground terminal at 711 12th Ave, NY, NY. I met on the ship some travellers who also complained about how rude the ground terminal staff were. .

The beach water was cloudy and hard to swim with so much seaweeds floating there. My feet were caught by seaweeds and was afraid to swim there. I don't like Amber Cove at all. I do like the other port at Puerto Plata which I visited in December 2023 by Norwegian cruise line.

Carnival Venezia didn't give the guests color coded luggage tags which was hard to locate our luggages. The ship didn't announce the cabin #s to disembark. We didn't know the exact time to get off the ship until the staff told us to leve the ship.
