Info needed on Dolphin Swim & Snorkel Adventure in Cozumel and Atlantis Sub

We are considering the Dolphin Swim & Snorkel Adventure in Cozumel during
our upcoming RCCL March 06 cruise. Curious if anyone has recently experienced
this excursion and can provide some feedback. The cost is $136.00 per person
and I want to insure that we get our moneys worth. The kids, 13 and 15, are
intersted in the dolphins, but I have heard that there is very little interaction
with them. Wife and I are mainly interested in the snorkel portion, but thought
we could make everyone happy with this selection. Kids have also shown an
interest in the Atlantis Submarine excursion, but we would miss out on the
snorkel oppurtunity. Thanks in advance for your help.

You will stand on a platform in about waist deep water. The water
itself is quite deep to give the dolphin plenty of room. You don't
actually SWIM with the dolphin, however you do have plenty of
opportunity to interact with the dolphin under the watchful eye of his
handler. We had a great time even though we didn't get to actually SWIM
with him.

If you're into this kind of thing, take a trip to Discovery Cove in
Orlando, FL. It's across the street from Sea World and it was one of
the best experiences I've ever had in this regard. The most fascinating
part for me wasn't the dolphin encounter but the HUGE aviary! That
really has to be seen to be appreciated.

The sub is a short ride out under the water there and in my opinion was not
worth the price. You see very little compared to the snorkel ect. The ride
is decent and the viewing windows ok. They mostly show you more of the ocean
floor then extended rare creatures. No hands on at all of course. The kids
would enjoy the dolphin swim much more... At least there is interaction and
of course the ever expensive photo to go with it

And now that we've heard from the local PETA rep, I'd say Steve, go
for it!

For lunch, Skippy, I am having raw dolphin snouts. If you saw me
eating them, you'd drop dead on sight.

His kids would enjoy seeing the animals in their natural environment a lot
better. They all might come away with more respect for free creatures than
those swimming in circles all day long.

Perhaps your web site might change his mind, but I doubt it..

We'll see.

It's not a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He can go anytime he has the $$.
And it's no adventure at all--what's adventurous about paying a lotta money
to go sit in a pool?

I have no involvement with PETA, Jimbo. I just have more respect for God's
creatures than you.
