During this cruise, we will explore four extraordinary islands, including the newly opened private island, Celebration Key.  

Experience the local culture, stunning landscapes, and unique activities each island has to offer. From breathtaking beaches, tasty cuisine, and beautiful mountains, every moment will be filled with exhilarating adventure. 

              No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.

• • Swim in the sparkling turquoise seas off Governor’s Beach. 
  • Tour historic Cockburn Town and the old salt pans.

  • Feel the velvety touch of a stingray’s wings in Gibbs Cay.

• Day 4 (Amber Cove, Dominican Republic): 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

  Discovering new sights is one of the beauties of travel, and that couldn't be more true when it comes to Amber Cove®, Dominican Republic. In this world full of information on just about everything, Amber Cove is a throwback — it’s the kind of quiet little spot you won’t find on most maps. But you will find it — brimming with bars and pools, plus opportunities for lounging and shopping — to be the gateway to island paradise, Dominican-style. Beyond Amber Cove is Puerto Plata, a town that began life as the first European settlement in the Americas. Its founder? Oh, just a guy named Christopher Columbus… so you know that arriving by sea is the ultimate way to get here. Whether you're looking for a day at the beach, some Dominican Republic adventure or just a little poolside me-time, Amber Cove is just the ticket. 

  • Explore Fort San Felipe, originally built to ward off pirates, which today welcomes curious travelers of all kinds.
  • This spot is known for its remarkable local amber — actually the clearest you’ll find anywhere in the world.
  • Take a ride on the wild side on an amazing ATV Adventure tour through the undiscovered Dominican Republic backcountry!
  • Swim with dolphins, stingrays — and yes, even sharks! — at Ocean World.

• Day 5 (Fun Day at Sea):

Guests must arrive on time at the port at their designated boarding appointment time. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Carnival’s Cancellation and Refund Policy, no refunds will be made in the event of “no shows”, unused tickets, lost tickets, partially used tickets, or cancellations received late or after the start of the cruise. Carnival strongly recommends the purchase of trip cancellation insurance that includes coverage for travel cancellation or interruptions.

Cancellation charges for all bookings will be assessed as listed below. Guest who have made reservations for multiple occupancy cabins (for example for three, four, or five persons) are subject to the cancellation charges and schedule below for the entire cabin reservation, even if Guest does not cancel his or her individual reservation and even if the names of all persons to be in the same cabin as Guest are not provided at the time of booking. Guests whose embarkation is denied under Section 2(g) above (related to background checks and conduct) are also subject to the cancellation schedule below as are Guests who have made bookings as part of the same travelling party as a Guest who is denied embarkation, as set forth under Section 2(g) above.

Guest agrees that any losses sustained by Carnival in the event of cancellation would be very difficult or impossible to quantify, and the cancellation fees are fair and reasonable as liquidated damages.

Government Taxes and Fees, as shown on your cruise invoice, as well as any prepaid Service Gratuity, will not be subject to a cancellation penalty and will be refunded in case of cancellation.

The future cruise credit must be used for a new reservation made within 12 months from the date of cancellation, is applicable to any Carnival Cruise Line sailing available in US dollars, and can only be applied to the price of your future cruise.
