I can not wait to book that excursion for myself and my two girls! Wonderful footage thank you for sharing that excursion with us! Loved that you had a great day!!! ❤️🤗🐬
What an EPIC day!!! I don't know why but I got so emotional when you were with the dolphins!! And then again with those beautiful birds! Dolphins are my spirit animal and I used to have love birds as pets so I guess it just brought up a lot of memories. The day I get to go to Amber Cove, i WILL be doing this excursion! So fun!
This video was awesome. The excursion looked amazing and picture/video package of the dolphin experience was the cheapest I’ve ever heard of. When I watch your vlogs, I feel like I’ve been transported back onto a cruise. Thank you Favor and Rob! ❤️
We are booked for this tour on our June 2022 cruise. I am beyond excited. I can't help notice no one had on glasses (when swimming with the dolphins.) Do you have to give up your glasses along with jewelry? I won't be able to see! Taking our teen sons and so glad to find your video! My youngest son's favorite animal in the world is a sea turtle. Did they have them there?
Great video ! I’m going on the Carnival Celebration in January and it makes a stop at Amber Cove. I am excited to see Ocean World, it looked like you both had a fabulous time.
Hi! Usually lunch is the difference. You can call your Carnival PVP or just the shore excursion department with Carnival and they will clarify for you. We had lunch included in our excursion. When we booked the VIP was the only choice still available so I was not able to compare options. We were there quite some time so if you don’t have any food allergies or restrictions I recommend having lunch. They did have a large snack store on site as well (chips, drinks, candy etc). Sorry I can’t be more sure in my reply. Hugs!
Wowsy wow! That is all I can say. What a great back to back for you folks. I think I definitely have to do this cruise sooner rather than later. Turtles, dolphins, sea lions and birds. Oh my!. I'll be sad to see this series come to a close. But I know that you and Rob will have more fun in store for us voyeurs soon. Lots of hugs and good vibes coming at you.
That dolphin encounter was the BEST! l loved how it spent time with you while you were feeding it. I've always wanted to do something like that, but I doubt I ever will, so I am SO glad you shared it with us! Thank you!! That baby dolphin was TOO CUTE!! I I've loved dolphins ever since I watched Flipper as a kid on TV. remembered those "bird trees" from the sneak peek - SO pretty - reminds me of some Christmas cards I've seen - birds lining all the branches. :) OMG - You had so MANY of them on you! :) Ocean World is a really, really cool place!! Socially distanced hugs from New Jersey to you and Rob, the whole family, and all the gorgeous fur babies! Stay strong, stay positive, stay healthy
Thank you for posting this vlog. We have a cruise to Amber Cove in a couple weeks on Mardi Gras. I was so lost on what excursion to book. Thanks to you and Rob you answered my question on “what to do”. After watching your vlog I booked VIP Dolphin Swim Ocean World. Can you give any tips on what not to miss there? Thank you! 💕
Love this video & EVERYONE of your other videos! I think you guys are such wonderful, caring and considerate couple! I look forward to any vlogs you post! Especially the RV Videos! 😁💓
We did Ocean World and swam with dolphins, sharks and sea lions. IT WAS AMAZING! Not only the experience with the sea life but the staff were awesome. We will do this over and over when we visit the DR!
Hi Favor and Robert! Ocean World is gorgeous! I love the videos...what a wonderful experience!! I love the fact they are humane certified...I would only go to places like that! You are right...that was an amazing day! Hugs!
Yes, humane certification was critical for us. We researched the facility as best we could before booking. It was such an amazing day for sure. Hugs my friend!
This is my favorite port so far! We had a fantastic day in Amber Cove!! We are headed back there in 29 days and I think we will check out Ocean World that really looks like fun! Thanks for the video, great job!!
It was amazing! There were a few excursions available for Ocean World, there was one that took you to each exhibit with a swim or interaction at each! Pricey but looked amazing, it sold out very quickly so if you want to do that you might book it soon! Our specific excursion sold out on the ship after the Fun Aboard Fun Ashore show. Have SO MUCH FUN when you go! Thank you for watching! Hugs!
Hello thanks for your video very informational. I booked this excursion as well. Before going I want to know if you all felt it rushed at all. I seen some complaints about that. And also did you have time to experience Ocean World on your own, or did you have to stay with your tour guide the whole time?
Hi. I did not feel rushed but they do move you from venue to venue so that you have time to experience everything. At the end you do have time on your own. Have fun!
Hi Favor and Rob. That was a GREAT excursion, but for me the turtles win out only because I’ve swam with 🐬 before . That was a great area for the dolphins when I swam with them it was a much smaller enclosure I believe in st Thomas about 12 years ago . Loved the birds also. Thank you for sharing this with us . Waiting on the next vlog 😊❤️
We did a little research on this place before we went. Liked what we read so decided to give it a try. The turtles were absolutely epic for sure. I think the highlight of the 14 days! Thank you for watching! Hugs!
Hi! Were there lockers or somewhere to keep your stuff in while you swam with the dolphins? Thank you for this very informative video! We’ve booked this for a month from now and my anxiety does better knowing what to expect ❤
YES! There is a bridge/boardwalk walkway that runs behind the beach area we had our encounter. At the time of our excursion they let people stand on that bridge/boardwalk and watch - that can always change. If you stop the video at timestamp 6:13 you can just make out the walkway behind us, you can see the entire encounter from there. It is far but not so far you can't see. I am sure they won't allow you to video. Have so much fun, it was an amazing day!
@@LifeWithFavor Thank you so much for answering. I literally decided to do the excursion because of your video!! He wasn’t going to film or anything, he just wanted to see me have the experience. I’ve already planned to buy the video and photos from Ocean World.
HI this is not Aruba it is Amber Cove. It is not our first time, we have several vlogs up. I I said in the video the photo package was $55, I can't remember exactly? Thank you for watching! Hugs!
Hi! With the dolphins I could always stand and touch the bottom. I never had to swim. When the dolphin pushed me through the water I was holding the floating wake board. And I was wearing a life vest the entire time. Hope this helps you! It was an amazing excursion and we would do it again! Hugs!
I'm soooo jealous... it's been one of my dreams to swim with 🐬 🐬 🐬...guess I'll just have to watch this vlogs many many times to get my fill. Thank you for posting...❤️
Hi my friend I hope you get to swim with them soon. I had been wanting to do it forever and this place had positive marks for their care of the dolphins. Hugs!! Thank you for watching!
If you can give me one day where I don’t have to think about it, live it or deal with it then sure. Many, many people appreciate that I am one of the few showing gluten free travel. Maybe you could just be grateful you get to live free from the burden of living gluten free.
These poor diminished worlds that these animals live in are terrible. Not passing judgement but please take some time to research Aquariums and Marine Parks and how negatively it impacts marine life.
Hi, we researched a lot before we booked this tour. On the screen and linked in the video description is their Humane Certification. With as much animal rescue and fostering as I have done, of course we researched the facility. Not all aquariums and Marine Parks are bad, I know this because I have done my research.
Thank you so much for this video! I really enjoyed how thorough you are in providing links to everything!
I can not wait to book that excursion for myself and my two girls! Wonderful footage thank you for sharing that excursion with us! Loved that you had a great day!!! ❤️🤗🐬
I´M TAKING THIS CRUISE WITH MY FAMILY (4) ON UNE 10TH, I CAN´T WAIT TO BE THERE.

Hi guys!!! Loved this excursion video too! Definately on the list!! Thanks for taking us along again ❤️

Ocean Walk looks awesome! We are sailing there on Norwegian, I hope this excursion is on the list.
Great video ! I’m going on the Carnival Celebration in January and it makes a stop at Amber Cove. I am excited to see Ocean World, it looked like you both had a fabulous time.
We loved it!!! Have a blast!!
Would you know the difference between the VIP and regular? The description really only highlighted lunch included as the major difference?
Hi! Usually lunch is the difference. You can call your Carnival PVP or just the shore excursion department with Carnival and they will clarify for you. We had lunch included in our excursion. When we booked the VIP was the only choice still available so I was not able to compare options.

This looked like such a great day and the photo/video package was such a steal! It's been nice to watch y'all enjoying every day of the vacation!
I was so pleased at the pricing. I was prepared to pay double. Thank you very much for watching the vlogs! Hugs!
Hi Favor & Robert!
This looked like such a fun day! I am so enjoying these Horizon vlogs.
Thank you!
I am so glad you are enjoying the vlogs, such an epic cruise for sure! Thank you for watching! Hugs!

The excursions on this cruise have been incredible!
They really have been. Happily do them over and over. Hugs to you all!

How much was the photo package for vip dolphin swim? Just curious, I am booked for this on our cruise at end of may
Hi I discussed the cost starting at timestamp 8:33. Have fun!
Hi! Were there lockers or somewhere to keep your stuff in while you swam with the dolphins? Thank you for this very informative video! We’ve booked this for a month from now and my anxiety does better knowing what to expect ❤
Hi, yes. There are lockers. One came with our tour. We had to remove ALL jewelry to swim with the dolphin. Have SO MUCH FUN!!!
@@LifeWithFavor thank you!! I’m so excited. Thank you again for your wonderful video :)
Wow!!! What an amazing day you guys! the dolphin experience tho OMG they look sooo cute!. Thanks for sharing this experience with us :) Love it
So amazing! They were adorable, especially when they would randomly play right in front of us! Thank you for always watching my friend! Hugs!
We are going the end of April. Do you know if my partner would be able to watch from somewhere or at least see me while I’m doing the dolphin swim?
YES! There is a bridge/boardwalk walkway that runs behind the beach area we had our encounter. At the time of our excursion they let people stand on that bridge/boardwalk and watch - that can always change. If you stop the video at timestamp 6:13 you can just make out the walkway behind us, you can see the entire encounter from there. It is far but not so far you can't see.

Love your necklace
how much were the photos and vide? was this your first visit to Aruba?
HI this is not Aruba it is Amber Cove. It is not our first time, we have several vlogs up. I I said in the video the photo package was $55, I can't remember exactly? Thank you for watching! Hugs!
Can you do this excursion if you are not a swimmer?
Hi! With the dolphins I could always stand and touch the bottom. I never had to swim. When the dolphin pushed me through the water I was holding the floating wake board. And I was wearing a life vest the entire time. Hope this helps you! It was an amazing excursion and we would do it again! Hugs!
Omg we did that excursion in Cozumel and loved it💞…
So fun! I am glad you have done it before! I'm sure you'd do it again and again! Thank you for watching! Hugs!
I'm soooo jealous... it's been one of my dreams to swim with 🐬 🐬 🐬...guess I'll just have to watch this vlogs many many times to get my fill. Thank you for posting...❤️
Hi my friend I hope you get to swim with them soon. I had been wanting to do it forever and this place had positive marks for their care of the dolphins. Hugs!! Thank you for watching!
Do they accept credit cards?
Hi, I had cash with me so I did not try to use a credit card.
That looks like fun
So much fun! The birds were so adorable! Thank you for watching! Hugs!
Not being disrespectful but can we have one vlog when you don't mention gluten free? Love your vlog
If you can give me one day where I don’t have to think about it, live it or deal with it then sure. Many, many people appreciate that I am one of the few showing gluten free travel. Maybe you could just be grateful you get to live free from the burden of living gluten free.
