Looks like we may be going on the Dolphin encounter after all. Girls it works like this. "OH honey I would LOVE to do the Dolphin Encounter it has been a dream of mine to swim with the Dolphins, HEY, Christmas will be right around the corner, it would be a great Christmas present" Then he says, for you or me? I say ME 
. I think it worked 
I also decided to do the parasailing in CC since Barry has never tried it. He brings up the video of the person that had problems , I say oh Jarasic Park?
. no apparently he is talking about something he saw on tv where they had to have 5 or 6 people pull a lady down because she wasn't come down on her own, the wind got very strong. But we are doing it anyways. HELL I would'nt mind getting stuck up there at CC for awhile anyways 
We are going to Megans Bay at St Thomas, almost sure of this one, depends on my Dad and Barry. We did St Johns snorkel tour a few cruises back and I remember they use to have drinking on the way there and back. I am quite certain they canceled drinking heading there due to me, 
, HONESTLY!, you do not give me a bunch of rum punch, tell me to jump off the boat and swim 
OMG, DH had to come and fetch me because I was to smashed to realize I was swimming where all the boats where coming in 
That is for the snorkeling/drinking story.
On our last cruise, I had booked parasailing at CC. We got there late due to at least one aborted attempt at docking. got off the ship & went right to Marges Barges to sign in. Tha Bahamians running it said they need to go out and check the wind to see if we will be parasailing today. "go sit at the tables over there & we will come get you when we know." so we sat there along with a few other groups. It seemed like a long time and we eventually realized that all the other groups had left. So we went back to Marge's hut to inquire. "nobody came to tell you? we cancelled your parasailing due to the winds. you have 2 options: get on the list for the afternoon; if the wind conditions improve, we can do it. or, get a refund." We chose the refund. It did not look like conditions would improve, and we kindof got a bad impression of the tour operator. It turned out we chose the correct option. The rain poured down about 45 minutes later.
So, despite our somewhat negative experience, I DO believe that they are very safety-minded are aware of wind conditions. It seemed to me that they would only do parasailing if the wind was okay.
This past fall at the Contemporary, I convinced Sean to do parasailing with me.
That pretty much sums it up. We brought our camera & took pictures, including backstage areas at MK. Now that my need to parasail has been satisfied, we will not be booking that excursion again.
So, I can not comment on the actual experience at CC, but I imagine it would be awesome! I love the feeling of flying/floating very high up, and being able to see everything. Just think, it is a view that very few people will experience, and you'll have the pictures to prove it.
Now for the dolphin encounter...must work on convincing Sean
Must go, the gym is calling
Have a great day!

. I hope you are feeling well soon. I was wondering what happened to you 
. Then on this cruise we will be in a cat 11 HCP, as DM will be along for the sail.
. I know he didn't see the whole cruise thing coming for this fall. 
. The school gives the girls Pizza Hut coupons for a free pizza if they read 10 in a month, so that seems to cover 1 night. The rest of the time we are pillaging for food
