Family B2B Cruise - Caribbean Princess - June 23, 2022 - Amber Cove, Dominican Republic

 This morning's sunrise:

After breakfast, we spent some time relaxing in Skywalkers Lounge and watched the Caribbean Princess back into its berth at Amber Cove, Dominican Republic.  We had no real plans for this port except to get off to be able to say we had been to the Dominican Republic.  This port has been created by Carnival Corp as a sort of private resort (but not with quite all the features of Princess Cays or Half Moon Cay).  There is a pool with plenty of loungers, drinks to purchase, a zip line, and a number of shops.  

We enjoyed a quiet morning on the ship, had lunch on the Lido Deck at the Salty Dog Grill/Slice, and then headed out to explore.  It was quite the party atmosphere and based on the towels on lounge chairs, it appeared to be mostly passengers from the Carnival Magic which was also in port.

These over the water huts can be booked through shore excursions.

The music was loud on land and it was all a bit chaotic so we were back on board very quickly.  I don't think we spent more than half an hour on land.

I was able to catch sail away from above the bridge.  I really enjoy having a room on the Lido Deck as this open deck in the front of the ship is just steps from our room.  The only disappointment is that it is closed from Sunset to Sunrise and any time it is too windy so there have been many times I wish I could access it but it has been closed.

Tonight was a formal night with lobster.  We snapped a quick photo on the promenade deck.
