    3. Enjoy the Shore<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Take in the bright sea air with beach adventures the whole family can enjoy. Sit down to lunch and watch the wind surfers on Cabarete Beach, jump into family-friendly activities at Sunscape Resort<\/a>, or take a break at Coconut Cove<\/a> for a refreshing beverage with friends.<\/p>\n

    4. Hit the Waves<\/strong><\/p>\n

    What Caribbean cruise<\/a> would be complete without some sports on the crystal blue water? Amber Cove has a lot to offer a fan of water sports, from windsurfing to fishing. Hop aboard a catamaran or go on a high-tech snorkeling adventure for some fun in the bay. If you really enjoy snorkeling, you can spend even more time in Sosua Bay on a magical, all-inclusive shore excursion<\/a>. Or, simply enjoy some relaxing swimming outside your own poolside cabana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    6. Have a Rest<\/strong><\/p>\n

    One of the best parts of any cruise vacation is the chance to rest and relax on (and off) the open seas. Amber Cove has a lot to offer the weary traveler. If you want some peace and quiet, book a private Tahitian-style cabana<\/a> over the bay, a Dominican beach house<\/a> on the shore or a luxury villa<\/a> on the coast for some secluded rest and relaxation. The Serenity VIP Resort Beach<\/a> is a truly exclusive experience, with its own crepe and oyster bars, and hammocks swinging gently over the golden sand.<\/p>\n

    8. Take a Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Do you enjoy land-based travel alongside your cruises? Climb aboard a mega-truck<\/a> to be taken through incredible villages and off the road, into the countryside. Steer your own ATV<\/a> through the Dominican backcountry, or enjoy a wild ride on a two-person terracross buggy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    9. Challenge Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you’re up for a true adventure, look into some of Amber Cove’s especially exciting opportunities. Get high and mighty at the challenge course<\/a> or fly through the tropical air on the zipline<\/a> at Country World Adventure Park. The best memories are made when you step outside your comfort zone, so why not challenge yourself if you want an especially memorable cruise experience?<\/p>\n

Luckily, many of Carnival’s port city experiences include adventures for your taste buds. Enjoy an authentic lunch<\/a> at Coconut Cove, or give back to the community<\/a> before enjoying a meal at a traditional restaurant. Whatever you choose to do, your belly will thank you.<\/p>\n
