Swim with Dolphins on Eastern?

[PeachyK]

This is my very first post so bear with me. I am a confirmed board lurker for years . I gleaned so much great info. for our trip to WDW three years ago I have returned after booking a 7 day Eastern in May 2003!!!

My question is...Has anyone done the Dolphin Fantasea/dolphin swim in Anguilla on the Eastern route? My DD9 is a huge dolphin fan and I would love to have her do a dolphin swim. We just can not swing Discovery Cove, but I thought if it we could manage it in place of an excursion, just maybe we could do it.

I've read what little info I could find about it and realize that it would involve quite some planning, some first hand information from someone that has actually done it, would be a great help.

She will be 10 when we cruise and I just think she is at such a great age to experience this. Any help is appreciated.

Forgive me is I seem a little stupid, but when does the cruise make a stop at Anguilla ? We did the eastern 7 day 3/02 and stopped at St. Maarten, St. Thomas/St. John and Castaway. I searched everywhere on the internet and came up with no Dolphin Excursions at all in these ports. Is Anguilla a new stop or a puddle jumper island like St. John?

Anguilla is a 20-minute ferry ride from the other side of St. Martin.
