Amber Cove Cruise Port Guide: Tips and Overview Update

The Amber Cove cruise center is located on the north coast of the Dominican Republic about 20 miles - or 32 kilometers - west of the city of Puerto Plata. The cruise center features complimentary pools and waterslides as well as shopping, restaurants, and a zip line. We previously visited Amber Cove in 2017 and returned aboard the Holland America Rotterdam in December 2022. In this video, we’ll provide an updated overview - and some new tips - for your visit to Amber Cove.

    You missed the outdoor Amber Museum that gave the history of that area and the great archeological finds with lush landscaping and waterfalls throughout. Hopefully you'll go there on your next visit. Also the slides are now $5 for an all day wrist band. Great video as always. Keep up the good work!

    There's no beach (public or otherwise) at the cruise port area. There may be beaches available outside of the cruise port area, but you would need to take a taxi for access.

    Thank you! We are stopping at Amber Cove in August for the first time. Because the port is controlled by Carnival, do you know if the excursions offered off the ship also have the guarantee that the ship will not leave late returning passengers? Any excursion or exploration recommendations for two 50-somethings and a 70-something that doesn't involve an extensive amount of walking in August carribbean heat?

  • @TheJellyBeans

    Excursions offered through your ship will include the guarantee. For anything offered through third parties, you'll need to read the specific terms and conditions for the excursion you're considering.

    During our visit, we were able to use the store with no issues and there were other passengers there as well. They had several signs throughout the port advertising for guests to visit. Nothing we saw indicated it might be for crew only... other than the name. :)

    Yes, it is specifically for the crew of the ship. Passengers are not to be back there. It is a place where the crew can get respite from the passengers. As is the little shop where the crew can purchase items they can't get on the ship. Notice the bags of chips such as Tostitos? Carnival Corp only sells Pringles in a can on board their ships' commissaries. So yes, that area is only for crew, hence the name.

    You can see the passport stamp building when we talk about north side of Amber Cove in our previous video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWmJp5eTma2zgMY.html However, be aware that they only provide souvenir stamps and the US State Department does *not* recommend souvenir stamps for your passport. You can use journals or other keepsakes for an alternative if you still want a stamp.
