Patti is beginning to make her way over to our Pool Cabana. You can climb the stairs up to the Sky Bar up on top of the hill. You can also get up there by using the ramps by the pool area….. Patti makes it to the CoCo Cana Lounge by the pool. This is where the food and drinks for the Pool Cabanas comes from….. Here are the drink and food menus….. Patti has made it to the Pool Cabanas, and catches me out on our deck….. To be continued…… -

We’ll get back to Patti in just a second, but I’m heading over to the Pool Cabanas with JT. He knows us from previous visits and is happy that he doesn’t have to go through his whole spiel with us. He just tells us that if we need anything at all to just call him. We requested the Pool Cabana closest to the bathroom. This is the only Pool Cabana that we haven’t been in. I took a few quick shots with the water camera from our deck..…. This picture shows the VIP area where you can get cushioned loungers, umbrella, pool floats, zip line and water slide passes, and a dedicated server for around $100. This is where we would go if we didn’t have a Pool Cabana….. Looking over towards the Restrooms……. This is the alcove on the lazy river that I like to hang out in….. Let’s see what Patti is up to. This is the Dufry Tax & Duty Free Shop. You have to walk through here to get in and out of Amber Cove….. Here are a few views from the Plaza….. Patti heads over to check out the amber exhibit….

Once off the ship, there are a horde of pedi-cabs that will take you to the end of the pier for the price of the tip. We always utilize this service and we have our favorite pedi-cab driver. Not seeing him initially, I yelled out ”number 11”, and he poked his head out and he came up front and center. He was so happy to see us. Over the years we had never learned his name, so we made it a point to find out. Let us introduce you to Alfredo aka #11! Alfredo drives us to the end of the pier…… Up on the roof some musicians play for us as we enter Amber Cove….. We bid goodbye to Alfredo, go through Dufry’s, and head out into the Plaza….. I’m checking us in for our Pool Cabana…… I’ll head over to the Pool Cabana with JT, the area supervisor. Patti, wanting to save some steps later on, will go around and take some pictures, and then meet me there. To be continued….. -

Day # 5- (April 18th) – Amber Cove (7am – 3pm). We were up at 5:30am to get ready for the day. As usual when we come here, we have rented a Pool Cabana so we want to get off the ship as soon as possible. It’s going to be a partly cloudy but warm today….. Here are today’s Fun Times….. We aren’t going to eat breakfast this morning so we head out to the Havana Area to watch the Carnival Vista back into her berth…. To be continued…… -

Great start to your review! We loved the Elation the two times we've been on her. -
On the Vista they had a pickleball tournament one day on the basketball court. Don't remember it being played any other time.😎

Is thermal suites pass worth it on The Splendor?
Jamman54 replied to Eli_6's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We always thought that the Splendor's Thermal Suite was the best amongst the ones that had the Thallasotherapy Pool. 😎 -
