Patti and Pat head up to the top of the zipline……

They really don’t want you going down hanging by your feet upside down….

This is your view from the top…..

Those guys down there will catch you. Maybe……..

They head up to the Sky Bar…..

Lots of nice views from up here…..

I can’t believe I’m this late to the party-but at least I wasn’t late to the actual cruise. So great meeting you and Patti. And yes, shivers on the signs from Kevin.

AmyJA · February 6

I really enjoyed the little amber path.

I’ll be making my first trip to Amber Cove hopefully in October. Are these cabanas booked through the ship’s Shore Excursions page? Or through some other means?

After my first cabana in HMC last year, I’m hooked!!! lol

SenatorsFan · February 6

Sorry we didn't make it over to the pool where the fun group was! 😁🍻

You book them through your ships excursion page. The Pool cabanas go quickly. 😎

Wow! I could tell you were tall!

We sleep in a bit. But that meant we got to see Sparkle doing his sparkle stuff. I wonder how many people ask if his last name is Farkle? (IYKYK)

And of course, because we are steerage we walk the pier and received no musical greeting. 😉

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us again!

We have had those middle 2 pool cabanas a couple times - love it!

I always look at other excursions (rented a jeep our first time on the island),

but have stuck with the cabana since then!

Did you have any issues with people trying to sit in your loungers?

sammee · February 6

Got home my cruise just on time to play catch up and read your review. As always fantastic so far. How long did it take you to get from Kingsland to Fort Lauderdale? We've considered doing this run, but haven't as of yet. I love how you take pics of the signs going in. Our GPS is not always on point.

Not at all. You need a wristband to get into this area, and they do a pretty good job of monitoring.

About six hours, but that was because of traffic below West Palm Beach.

Patti and Pat continue exploring down by the water…..

They head back to the pool area and stop to check out the CoCoCana Lounge….

Here are the food and beverage menus…..

They are back at the pool…..

Jim and I are on our second or third bucket of beer. Our server Wilbur would just deliver them to us while we were in the pool…..

Patti didn’t want me to use that picture, but I decided to use it as a place saver for these following observations. Sitting here now, I realize that I had royally screwed up. While hanging out at the alcove, we had visits from quite a few Tribe members including Vic & Donna, Karen & Gerald, Sid, Amy, and Pam. They all stopped by to chat and have a few beers with us. The problem is that we have almost no photo records of these visits. As great a photographer that Patti is, she can’t be in two places at one time. Here’s where I kick myself. As I had mentioned in my opening, we do bring along a backup camera in case there is a problem with Patti’s primary one. It also happens to be a water camera. I should have brought that camera along with me, in fact I should have had it on my person the entire cruise, as I missed a boatload of photo opportunities because Patti was not around at the time. I have learned my lesson, please forgive me, it won’t happen again!

Patti got this picture of Vic (Roscoe13) relaxing on a lounger. That’s Donna to his left. lol…..

After her walk with Patti, Pat grabs a beer and relaxes on one of our loungers soaking up some sun….

Patti has some more ground to cover so off she goes. Here are some views of the other side of the lazy river…..

There are a ton of loungers around the pool area…..

This is the children’s Splash Pool…..

This is where the crew from the ship comes to relax…..

This is the bottom of the zip line……

Here is a view looking up to the top of the zip line…..

This is a very quiet area to relax…..

From here, this is a view of the Ocean Cabanas…..

great photos. I did Amber twice last year and I am going to get to go again with the new Sun Princess in Nov. It is a private area and reminds me a lot of Harvest Cay (NCL) in Belize.
