    Hey Chris! I assume you were on the Mardi Gras! We were on that sailing at the end of January. We're lucky because my wife is from Honduras and we speak Spanish, so we found someone to take us all over Puerto Plata. The Macorix distillery makes excellent rum. The Amber museum is beautiful, and of course, the chocolate factory tour is in Smell-o-vision! We will stop there again on the Horizon in a couple of weeks! Thanks for the cool vlog!

    • @TalkingCruise
      @TalkingCruise  Год назад

      Hi Vets Wife, thanks for watching. Once off the ship, the pathway from the pier to the activities is pretty smooth, so a wheelchair could navigate. It's not too far to the pool area, but the closest amenities are the shops in the welcome center.

    If we have purchased a Bev package within the ship, are the beverages included at the pool resort?

    • @TalkingCruise
      @TalkingCruise  2 года назад

      Hi Lisa, thanks for watching. Unfortunately no, those onboard packages do not transfer to the island. While Amber Cove is not a private island destination, even at other Carnival Corp brand islands like Half Moon Cay and Princess Cays, you must either a separate drink package or pay for each drink.
