love2traveljen Posted January 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hey all I am just wondering if any of you had booked a cruise that includes Amber Cove Dominican republic? I see that there's no excursions available yet as I know the first ship won't dock there until October, but does anybody know when they will list the excursions? I read a bit that there will be some but it doesn't say when they will become available thanks so much Jen Carnival fantasy 12/27/2014 Carnival sunshine 12/27/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent a week there and really did not care for the beach there as compared to Punta Cana. Amber Cove may also be near a SeaWorld type attraction, but I'm getting tired of seeing animals do tricks while they are pent up in cages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis30223 Posted January 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) DW and I will be going there February 2016 on the Valor, originally we were going to be going to Nassau, but Carnival swapped it for Amber Cove. Frankly I'm excited to see the new port and am glad to not be going back to Nassau. I don't expect excursion to by posted until April or May.

Suenos del mar Posted January 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I see 29 available excursions now. There were only 6 the other day so they are rolling them out now I guess.

CalJas Posted January 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 24, 2015 We are on the Fantasy 11 October cruise also. Looks like we will be the second Carnival ship to use this new port!! I've never booked an excursion through the ship, have always done my own and private tours. However as this is a new port for them I will stick with a ship offered one this time. Now to figure out which one to book... Not having reviews or the help of others who've been makes it tough lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
