Amber Cove friend pickup

Most likely not. Your friend can walk to the gate and you can wait for him there. You should establish a Whatsapp connection with your friend to know when they will be at the gate.*

I have a friend who was able to meet his family who cruised into Amber Cove for the day. *They were granted entrance to the port and were able to share a facilities with the guests.

He sent an email to Carnival with dates and passenger names, *They replied with the approval. *He took the printed approval email to the front gate and they let him and his family in to meet his cruising family guests.
