We are not complainers and we look for the good in everything... but we just could not find ANY positives in this excursion!!! We were all so excited to visit the Dominican Republic and planned a great day at the beach with our kids and our friends. Lori and I went to the excursions desk and booked the PlayaBachata All-Inclusive Beach Day as it had good reviews as an excursion and we wanted an AI resort.
Carnival Mardi Gras pulls into the beautiful port of Amber Cove and we explore the port a little before it is time to board the bus to our resort for the day. Immediately upon arrival, I didn't get good vibes when they told us to wait in the lobby and gave no other instructions. Finally, a small lady with an even smaller voice who was very difficult to understand comes to give about 60 people instructions for the day. None of us could hear or understand her except that we had yellow bracelets so we were to stay on 'this' side of the resort....
Well, 'this' side of the resort had no available loungers at the beach... well that were in working order anyway. We found LOTS of broken chairs! The boys used their Lego building skills to take apart the broken chairs and piece them together enough to sit on.
Ok, we have chairs... food and drinks? Service? Nope! No one came to check on us to see if we needed anything... geez us constructing furniture on the beach SHOULD have attracted someone! We found a long line in which we could get drinks... they were ok. But the food... sorry, I don't eat food with bugs on it!
Needless to say, it was the worst cruise excursion experience we have ever had!!! We were on the first shuttle back to the ship where we enjoyed the rest of the day... and went to the shore excursions desk to request a refund!

I apologize from the bottom of my heart that you had this experience in my country!!! Just know that not all places are like that and that is a disgrace for us Dominicans that any resort is in this conditions. Please give it another shot and go back and enjoy my beautiful Dominican Republic.

This video showcases one of my favorite things about cruising. That it is really really hard to have a bad day. Even when things go negative, you're on vacation and there is an awful lot of positives. and sometimes you just have to make your best day with a plan B, like you guys did in summer landing after getting back on the ship.

@planner722 2 года назад

When we went to Dominican we hired a private driver (not thru carnival). He drove us all over the island, do anything we wanted. Went to see sloths / monkeys, did an all inclusive beach for 3 hrs (could have stayed longer or shorter- our choice) eat at a small restaurant the locals eat at. We did a lot of other stuff. Best part it was cheap compared to all the other thru carnival and we essentially combined two and half of the excursions they offered. There were several places we would say… pull over here and just take a couple pictures (our driver would take pictures of our family for us also). Correction: I was thinking of Roatan Honduras.

We went to a "Lifestyles resort all inclusive beach" excursion and it was fine. Food was good, loungers were good, but the beach wasn't really accessible because of the strong current/waves. So, we went back to the port and really enjoyed our time at the Amber cove port pool.

@BullyOG 2 года назад

If you go back to DR, when we went we did ATV tour with Marysol Tours. It was a bit of a walk out of the port to the meeting spot but it was a great experience all around and I would recommend. When we go back on the Mardi Gras next year probably will just experience the port but great memories, photos and video with the ATVs. It was me and my wife's first time riding them.

@tracygriffiths6292 2 года назад

Carnival doesn’t just owe you a refund, they also owe you obc for the time you lost. The cruise lines are expected to make sure their excursions are top notch. I’ve been on several excursions on other lines that included a cruise staff member to make sure the experience was great. Not good Carnival. Thanks for the great content Jason and Alisa!

So sorry for the bad experience. We go to a AI resort in Freeport Bahamas that gets alot of cruisers on day passes and it is much better than this. It still is not like a Cancun-type mega resort, but it does have a beautiful beach (with serviceable chairs!) and a great snorkeling reef. They do also have a rocky ocean which I think you actually need if you want good snorkeling and sometimes the food (veggies) leave alot to be desired. Hopefully this one has just been bought and they are in the process of updating. Definately Carnival needs to re-evaluate it as an excursion. We had a bad experience in Antigua on a cruise and we did just as you did, took the first shuttle back to the ship! Hope the rest of the cruise was great! Enjoy your vlogs!

My uncle was excited to try different beers which they had several to choose from. I will agree that the beach was rocky and the pool needed some additional entrance steps.

Anyway, we are going to Amber Cove, but truthfully, none of the excursions appealed to me. For the first time ever, we didn’t book any! We may check out the ports because they look nice, but we are mostly excited to see the new ship. My son booked the horseback/zip line excursion with some OBC he has. (We all have a bit of OBC from our cancelled cruise before the pandemic.) That’s a shame your excursion stunk. I hope you also leave a review on Carnival’s website. Sorry such a long post!!

I blame Carnival for this. After all, they're partnering with the resort. It's their responsibility to make sure the resort is as top notch as their ship, or there's a problem. And I felt bad for your friends. So now we know.
