On a cursory view of a travel agent site, I count about 23 - 24 ships visiting Amber Cove this year between October when it opens and the end of the year. That is about eight per month or two per week. Not sure how many ships will visit next year. Maybe someone else has more accurate figures.
it is. i merged the two threads. any further updates can be posted here, as usual.
would you look at this. those pieces of fecal matter from transport companies are already fighting over morsel of fresh meat the port is: Se acent?an los l?os entre transportistas de Puerto Plata por controlar las rutas de Maim?n | Detrasdelrumor.com.do
now we can see that the visitors will have no need to leave the port area to do their shopping....
i see they made a replica of glorieta and victorian buildings from POP.
they have excursion to visit POP: Puerto Plata City & Cabarete Beach With Lunch | Amber Cove, Dominican Republic
sadly, they do not feature museo gregorio luperon (well worth seeing) nor teleferico.

gee, i wonder what reason that could be?
two excursions feature sosua:
Beginner Scuba Diving | Amber Cove, Dominican Republic
Certified Two Tank Dive | Amber Cove, Dominican Republic
they do not mention whether local lunch is included.
looky looky, carnival will have a trip to sosua. or rather "susua" a place so unimportant they could not even spell it right.

Recall I told you the format was going to be new for the industry?
"You and hundreds of fellow passengers take a one-week cruise during which you are trained as a volunteer. Once you get to your destination, you help with community projects such as teaching English or reforestation — or you can go to the beach and be a tourist. It’s volunteering made easy."
"Beginning next April, weekly fathom cruises from Miami will visit the Puerto Plata region, spending four days docked at Carnival’s soon-to-open port, Amber Cove."
This is the cover for the soon to be unveiled "multiple days docked at Amber Cove" for all their cruise ships calling into the port.
They will sell the port as a multiple day choice of adventures and discovery. They will operate and pretty much own the whole set up, from docks to buses, accommodations inland, attractions, etc...
The DR offers them the best choices in regards to what it can offer from the water to the highest peaks in the region.
This is just the first phase of a long and very expansive plan for the cruise industry at large.
When people go inland, the further the better, as they spend more money the cruise operators want to get their hands on.
The operational cost of a ship at sea are way higher than docked for days. In effect they are using the ship as the floating hotel for the tourists. They want to have so many options on the table, that passengers will not be thinking about if they opt for them, but which, given the short period of days at dock.
