Saw so many dolphins - The crew was very welcoming when we boarded our cruise. We took off on time and within 15 minutes we were seeing our first dolphins. The captain was very knowledgeable about dolphins and their behavior. He did an excellent job following different pods of dolphins. Definitely created some wonderful memories.

Got full reimbursement - lightning thunder
it was storming for an hour, Captain wouldn’t cancel. All 120 loaded up and cast off. We sailed for maybe 15 minutes with hope of beating storm clouds but to no avail lightning strikes were apparent and Captain called it off and headed in. we were all reimbursed
