Hi, Barb,

My son did it (can't recall where) and loved it. Usually, there is a
two-level experience offered. We opted for the more costly option on the
theory it was a one-time special adventure...if we were going to spend the
money, we'd just pony up the full price for the maximum experience.

Re: dolphin rights, I would draw the line at a contained pool-like facility,
but the one in Cozumel is a penned-in area of the ocean (I think that's the
only one in Coz--the one I'm familiar with is part of Chankanaab National
Park, a great place for the family to hang out and snorkel, clean beach,
reasonable equipment rentals, changing facilities, snack bars, cheap & easy
cab ride from/to port, etc.). That dolphin operation has been in existence
for years.

Have a wonderful holiday cruise! Our family thinks RCCL does a fabulous job
with Christmas cruises.
