What matters on a cruise transfer
Amber Cove is the Carnival-built cruise port on Maimón bay, about 30 minutes west of the airport, used by Carnival, Princess, Holland America and partner lines. Two things make this different from a hotel transfer. First, the clock: the gangway closes at a fixed time and no ship waits, so we set the pickup from your boarding window and, for tight arrivals, tell you plainly if the timing is too thin. Second, the meeting point: private vehicles cannot reach the pier, so drops and pickups happen at the terminal's ground-transport area, where the driver stands with your name on a sign. On days with two ships in port the access road backs up, and we build that into the plan.
