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……

Here are some more random views of Amber Cove as the Vista backs into her berth…..

We stop back at the cabin to grab our bags and head off the ship. Patti has left a bag of laundry for I Gede…..

We pass the Red Frog Pub & Brewery on the way off of the ship…….

To be continued…..

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…..

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….

In the meantime I head to the Limelight Lounge for a comedy show starring Randy Lubas. He wasn’t bad for a PG show. I gave him an 8 out of 10….

This area is very beautiful with waterfalls, Koi ponds, and beautiful flowers…..

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…..

Jamman54 · May 10

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…..

Back on board with you again!

Wish we were truely on board!!

4 more weeks of school! LOL!!

Love that Havana pool! Enjoyed that on Horizon very much.

Your amber cove cabana is the only one we have not had yet too!

Love those pool cabanas! Sometimes I have a passing thought

that we are missing something else on the island, but then

get to that cabana and forget all about that thought...

Looking forward to your adventures in the ABCs!

Will will be on the Celebration run down to the ABCs this July! Woot!
