Cruise Day #5 - Amber Cove, Dominican Republic and 360 Dinner

Good morning from Amber Cove, Dominican Republic!




We’re docked today alongside the Carnival Mardi Gras. 

We decided to stay onboard and enjoy a peaceful day in the Sanctuary, while the kids went ashore to explore the expansive cruise port—complete with swimming pools—designed especially for passengers.

This evening, Debbie and I had the pleasure of attending 360: An Extraordinary Experience, a multi-sensory, immersive dining event. This one-of-a-kind, seven-course meal blends destination-inspired storytelling, world-class cuisine, expertly paired wines, and stunning visuals projected on a 360-degree screen. The dining room accommodates 20 people. 

It was absolutely FANTASTIC—an unforgettable experience! This was our third time at 360 and it did not dissapoint. The photos truly don’t do it justice.
