EPIC--Swim with the dolphins??

[a1moty]

We are cruising in January on the Epic and are having trouble finding a "swimming with the dolphins" excursion at any of the ports. Does anyone have any information or experience with this. Thanks for your experience and willingness to share!:D

If you are on an itinerary that stops in Nassau, NCL offers an excursion to the "Blue Lagoon" that offers an opportunity to swim with the dolphins.

 

From the NCL website:

 

Blue Lagoon Dolphin Swim

 

Learn about, meet and interact with the most beloved mammal in the ocean - the bottlenose dolphin. Transfer to and from Blue Lagoon Island, home to 19 bottlenose dolphins, by boat from the pier (approximately 40 minutes each way). Upon arrival, meet the trainers for an educational briefing. This program takes place in approximately 20-foot-deep water, in small groups of no more than 10, so everyone has the opportunity to meet the dolphin while in the water and to ask questions. Highlights include a petting and feeding session with the dolphins, the popular high speed 'foot push' and optional professional photo and DVD/video opportunity. Note: Participants must be at least 6 years of age. Pregnant women are not allowed. Actual in-water encounter time is approximately 30 minutes. Children between the ages of 6 to 12 must be accompanied in the water by a paying guardian/parent. The paying guardian/parent must be book at the same time of the child participant; these booking cannot be made onboard as space is very limited. Lifejackets are required and provided on a complimentary basis; wet suits are available during cooler weather. Wear your swimsuit and bring a towel from your ship. You must be able to walk about 1/2 to 1 mile on the pier. Guests must sign a waiver release form.

 

Cost: $ 229.00/adult
