Dolphin Encounter in Nassau.

I have a few questions about this. First, is it cheaper to go to the company directly vs. through disney? second, my son is only 2 months shy of three years-is it possible to get him on it as well? It won't let me through the disney cruise site, but he loves all animals so I know he would love it.

Also, what if I sign DS up as an observer and us to do encounter - will they let the parents trade off? It won't let me sign up dh and I as encounter and DS as observer bc it says DS needs an adult - anyway to get around that? And if DS and I are observers, can we just use the beach why dh does his thing?

And is there no beach time with the encounter and observer package?

So I looked at the dolphin encounter site directly and it was only $98 pp vs. the $125 pp disney charges; and not only can two year olds do the encounter, they are free! Unbelievable. So, if I went through disney, I would have to pay $125 for dh and I so $250 and then $45 for my 2 year old to do nothing for a total of $295. But if I go through the company directly, I pay only $198 and all three of us can do it - I can't believe almost $100 less for more!- anyone else go this route?

You may want to double check, but last I heard, the company itself will not let you book through them if you are a Disney Cruise passenger, so you'll have to go through Disney.

My DD did the dolphin swim and I did the observer last year, but she was 14 years old, so she could do the swim by herself. And I don't think they will allow you to switch off with different parents during the excursion.
