Here are some more shopping opportunities….. You can get Dominican Republic information here….. Amber Cove doesn’t have any beach access. This beach belongs to the property next door…… This bar and gift shop is very quiet….. To be continued…..

Here are some random Plaza views and shopping opportunities….. To be continued…..

We are not foodies, and food is such a subjective subject. Let me say that we never went hungry. We never went to the MDR for our two weeks aboard, except for the Diamond Lunch. We ate once at the steakhouse, once at Cucina, once at Jiji's, and three times at Bonsai Sushi. The other times we ate up at the Lido Marketplace. We didn't have any issues in what we ate. Sorry, I can't explain any more than that.

Yes, they were!!

That is the reason we would never get a Water Cabana.

Patti heads over to where they rent the Water Equipment….. Here is all of the rental information….. Patti checks out the Caribbean Fish Spa….. Patti heads back into the Plaza….. To be continued…..

Patti heads over to check out the Water Cabanas….. This is the Grand Water Cabana….. This is the Pier Bar. This bar services the Water Cabanas, but anyone can stop here for a drink….. To be continued…..

Here’s a handy dandy drink cart…… Patti heads over to the children’s splash pool…. The Crew Center is nearby….. This is the bottom of the zip line….. Here are some hammocks and the big chair….. To be continued…..

Glad to have you back on board once again!

We’ll get back to Patti shortly, but I have left the Pool Cabana and made my way to the alcove….. I have great memories of being here last January on the Celebration with the Tribe Cruise. My friend Jim and I hung out here most of the day drinking beer and having a great time with Tribe members such as Vic & Donna, Amy, Pam, and sid. We went through five buckets of beer that day. Pat and Patti did the picture tour together. Great times! I will make some new friends today as well. Here are some of my views from the alcove….. I enjoyed watching the zip liners going overhead all day long….. Now back to Patti who is getting some pictures of the pool area….. To be continued…..

What Knights on the Beach posted above is really the gist of it, along with the picture of the B2B letter. Thanks Beth, you did a great job of explaining. I'll just add to remember that they are two separate cruises, so nothing will carry over from one cruise to the other, such as OBC. You'll have different folio numbers each cruise. You will have to muster each cruise. This B2B that Beth was talking about was a bit of a cluster**** but it happens sometimes, and it's not always Carnival's fault. You normally will have about an hour where you have the ship to yourselves, but nothing is open, meaning no drinks until the new guests start boarding. This is also only the protocol for cruises departing in the USA. B2B protocols for cruises leaving say from Europe or Australia are different and I have no first hand knowledge. 😎

Patti heads back out on her picture tour. Looking up at the water slide…. This is the zero entry side of the pool….. Patti checks out the Ladies Room….. Here is the Nathan’s Hot Dog Cart….. To be continued……

We have our beer and pool floats….. Here are the cabana menus….. Randall will be our server today, but another server that we know spots us and comes up to say hello…. Patti takes some pool pictures from our deck…… My spot will be occupied shortly….. To be continued…….

I catch Patti in action…… Patti has made it to our Pool Cabana….. To be continued…..

Glad to have you as always! Enjoying your Elation review.
