We did a family cruise 5 years ago. One of our excursions was to the Blue Lagoon, Because we didn't get into port on time, our time on the island was cut short. We were able to do the dolphin encounter & loved it! I had always wanted to be in the water with dolphins. I loved it!
There is a great beach on the other side of the Blue Lagoon that nobody goes to, it's behind the dining pavilion...go over there! I see you did find it, there were no chairs when we went and no signs, no limits, course this was several years ago!
Hey guys. Loved your video as always. One thing I wish you would do, and I understand it would be time consuming, but here goes anyway. Food is a big part of cruising. Your food pictures are great, that said, I would love to hear what your opinions are of each dish, whether you would order it again ect. Travelling vicariously through you, as we are under travel advisory again here is Canada. Stay safe and post lots!! Merry Christmas
Yes I love Blue Lagoon and the dolphin encounter! That was awesome to watch! Make me want to book that excursion for the next time we go to Nassau. Thanks for sharing!
We are going to Nassau shortly and will be headed back over to Blue Lagoon for a beach day. We have been there before and it’s so pretty. Looks like you 2 had a great day.
With your love of word play, I thought for sure at 2:40 you'd have intentionally re-pronounced "The Theatre" as "The The Atree"! As usual, another great video. As much and we prefer small, all-inclusive, lines, you're slowly turning us to the bigger ships! Keep up the great entertainment!
It's been a while since we posted this one, but I feel like the dolphin portion was about half and hour, then a couple of hours at the beach. We felt like that was a decent amount of time, but hopefully the tide will be higher if you go there!! :P
#bottom again…but I’m going into a work stretch and Christmas so I don’t think I’ll be able to stay caught up! You surely did a lot this day!! Do you recommend Blue Lagoon for those people who have a port stop in Nassau, or is there an equally frugal option you recommend more? Good to see that the pranksters chose to remove themselves from the ship, but so sad that they dishonestly posed they were “thrown off”. I noticed one gentleman in the show who had “fun buns” AKA “space buns”…that was something I’ve never seen on a guy before. He definitely had the hair for it! Much love to you both! ❤️
Shop talk question: would you ever consider putting a polarizing filter on the camera(s) you use when looking at/into water? The POL filter would remove a lot of reflection and permit clearer images deeper into the water. Just wondering "for a friend"! :-)
RC (who owns Celebrity) excursions are really expensive. Blue Lagoon has changed a lot. When I went the "aquarium" area was separate but you still could see the dolphins at arrival or departure. All areas were accessible and they had a cheap buffet (burgers) in that "pavilion". The beach in the back is always like that (not good).
Our first cruise was to the Bahamas...and we swam with the dolphins on Blue Lagoon Island! It was in a different location as yours. Loved it 😍 Patiently waiting for them to allow us to cruise again ❤
My husband and I did the VIP package Dec2nd. To get to the VIP section it is a long walk once you finally get to the VIP section we were surprised that the VIP section is Rocky. You are not able to swim in that section. You would have to walk over a bridge to be able to get to a section you can swim. Yes it is beautiful but everyone on this excursion was disappointed that we were not able to swim in the beach.
That's a tough one, and it's so subjective! We've only really sailed Carnival and Royal enough times to feel like we've got a good feel for their food overall. We loved Princess, Celebrity, and Norwegian overall for food, but having only sailed those lines once each, we need more research, ha ha... so between Carnival and Royal, we'd give the nod to Royal as a whole. Carnival's MDR food has really taken a downturn over the last few years, sadly!!
@@parodeejay thanks so much! I’ve only been on Princess and Carnival cruise lines. We had a 2-week cruise planned for our 5 year anniversary in 2020 canceled and have booked anything since. I’m living through y’all’s videos. Thanks so much!
@@parodeejay ok...thinking of going in February....carnival yes...only cruise line ive ever been on...never on glory though...do they have handicapped accessible staterooms and motorized wheel chairs
Definitely accessible staterooms. If you're looking to rent a motorized scooter, the ship most likely wouldn't have that. There's a company called Scootaround (scootaround.com/en) that's good for cruise ship related rentals though!!
We normally use SPF 50 and try to apply about every hour ideally, but every two hours is more likely for us, as we lose track of time in the water sometimes, hah!! :P
Husband and I will be doing Dolphin encounter in grand caymen in April on the glory, and we will be in Nassau in October on board the disney wish. Both I can't wait for. Super excited. Dolphins are my one of my favorite animals
Does Celebrity Summit have a service to rent a suit or tuxedo? Hubby and I are sailing her November 2022 for our wedding anniversary, and we usually travel with carry-on only, so he won’t be packing a suit for formal night.
19:00 My hubby and I are addicted to Segway rides! We have done 4 in 2021, including one in Fort Lauderdale the day before we boarded Odyssey. I recommend Segway Fort Lauderdale.
I was at Blue Lagoon two Sundays ago (on Independence OTS). I had booked the stingray encounter but they didn't want to work that day so we got upgraded to the dolphin encounter.
Not on Deck 4 coming from the aft that we could see. You would have to cross back to front on a different deck, then use the forward elevators or stairs to access the theater.
Watching the dolphin section made me really sad. These animals frequently experience health, behavioral, and emotional issues due to their imprisonment. It's cruel and inhumane treatment for such intelligent animals and I'm kind of disappointed that you supported this "encounter".
If you have seen how those are keep at Blue lagoon it is sad and pitiful for those creatures, will never go there again. Dolphins are social creatures and at blue lagoon they are kept in small cages, someone needs to go and release the beautiful creatures into the wild, so sad. Do not go there and waste your money. Just returned from a HA cruise and I would have known this I would have not supported this.
I just cancel my subscription and I will never watch you again. How dare you promote dolphin cruelty! Do you even know what you’re doing? Did you not see them in cages?
@@sherrylockhart7337 No, they were not rescued. If you choose to believe that then you are ignorant. Places like this only exist because tourist like you will provide them with money. If you want to experience dolphins in the wild then get on a boat and experience them in the wild. Dolphins that are forced to live in cages experience unbelievable stress and are hurt physically while performing simple tricks to amuse tourist.

Been there and loved it. We watched the dolphin experience when there. Nice place. Looks like they got rid of the hammocks under the trees.
Thanks for sharing! It looks like you had a great time. Enjoy your cruise 😎
That is so clear 🇹🇹
Nassau is always so expensive, but that beach looks very clean.
I did the Family Beach with buffet when I was at Blue Lagoon in October on Carnival Magic. The food was good. Very relaxing time. Plenty of shade.
Another enjoyable video. Thanks for taking us along.😎
We are going to Nassau shortly and will be headed back over to Blue Lagoon for a beach day. We have been there before and it’s so pretty. Looks like you 2 had a great day.
Looks like yall had some fun, but I'm still probably never getting off the ship in Nassau again lol
The Atlantis resort used to do a tour of the aquarium and such, I found it very interesting. Don't know if it's still available.
With your love of word play, I thought for sure at 2:40 you'd have intentionally re-pronounced "The Theatre" as "The The Atree"!

Love your vlogs of the cruise experience.
S...serenity as nobody there!
How long was the dolphin encounter portion and how long was the beach portion? Did you feel like you got enough time at the beach?
It's been a while since we posted this one, but I feel like the dolphin portion was about half and hour, then a couple of hours at the beach. We felt like that was a decent amount of time, but hopefully the tide will be higher if you go there!! :P

I’m not a fan of the red filters because I can color correct in editing, but hadn’t thought about something may just remove glare. Ooooh!! :D ~Jay
Gosh Dee I bet that was incredible hugging an animal like that!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!
Someday I hope to sail a ship with silent disco!
I have been on the carnival sunrise
It seems so quite there. The other videos I've seen are so busy. You went early in the morning?

Pranksters got a good clickbait title "Kicked off a cruise ship", but get grounded because still living with their parents. 😂😂😂

Thank you very much for showing your Encounter with the Dolphins, I wish you could of seen the Smile from of my Face.
Do you prefer Blue Lagoon or Balmoral more?
Our Blue Lagoon day was a bit of a bust due to the low tide, but I'd say we both still preferred Balmoral overall for snorkeling, beaches, etc.
@@parodeejay Thanks for responding! Safe travels in Alaska!
QUESTION: No place to store your suitcase? at 23:05
The Bahamas is a beautiful place I am from the Bahamas Freeport Bahamas love patty
Which cruise line has the best food overall?
That's a tough one, and it's so subjective! We've only really sailed Carnival and Royal enough times to feel like we've got a good feel for their food overall.

I Am SO glad for the outcome of the "jerk"!!
Looking at the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Swim and beach day for our Millennium cruise in Feb and the sale price is $125.99 pp!
That excursion was the cherry on top for Dee. 🐬🐬🐬🐬
What time does breakfast start ?
Gorgeous footage of the sun rising
Is the glory worth going on??
Carnival? Sure! We liked Valor a little better but she only seems to run shorter cruises.
@@parodeejay ok...thinking of going in February....carnival yes...only cruise line ive ever been on...never on glory though...do they have handicapped accessible staterooms and motorized wheel chairs
Definitely accessible staterooms. If you're looking to rent a motorized scooter, the ship most likely wouldn't have that. There's a company called Scootaround (scootaround.com/en) that's good for cruise ship related rentals though!!
@@parodeejay i messaged you on your website...i will look into the scooter for my sis...thank yall....love ur vids
My wife and I are booked on the Summit when it comes up north in May. Does the Summit have the afternoon tea with a classical music artist?
We didn’t see it on our sailing, no. That sounds like fun!!
@@parodeejay OK, thanks for letting me know. I'm enjoying the videos.
Logistics question: What SPF does Dee use, and how often is sun screen applied during a 4-hr excursion on a sunny day?
We normally use SPF 50 and try to apply about every hour ideally, but every two hours is more likely for us, as we lose track of time in the water sometimes, hah!! :P
29:44 Interesting they indeed said they were kicked off the ship on their own feed for clout.
Casino looks small.

The dolphins were sooo cute! Also so glad they did something about those prank people I hate that stuff!!! Should have thrown them in the brig! Lol
Is there a.Royal Caribbean cruise nope iI'm just. Wrong
We’re onboard Allure Of The Seas right now, yes.
I hope the pranksters learned their lessons and not try to prank people on cruise ships ever again 🤣🤣🤣
Glad the pranksters are gone, who cares which way. Glad to see the dolphins too
Can you walk to the theatre without going through the casino? I’m allergic to the cigarette smoke.
Not on Deck 4 coming from the aft that we could see. You would have to cross back to front on a different deck, then use the forward elevators or stairs to access the theater.
On Celebrity, there is no smoking at all allowed in the Casino.
@@craigbourquin9919 oh WOW! That is awesome!!
Good morning! You are early today!
We were headed out on an excursion in St. Kitts today and wouldn’t have Wi-Fi at our normal time slot of 8:00am, ha ha… early release it is!! :P
6:00 Poor Dolphins!! They should be left in the wild!!!!!
Dee, I will contact you to book once I find someone to pay for the MJ suite for us. Searching for Oprah's number right now.
Watching the dolphin section made me really sad. These animals frequently experience health, behavioral, and emotional issues due to their imprisonment. It's cruel and inhumane treatment for such intelligent animals and I'm kind of disappointed that you supported this "encounter".
Completely agree with this. Incredibly disappointing to see 😞
Absolutely agree. Dolphins should never be held captive for the entertainment of people.
first >:)

I love your channel but not a fan of Dolphin encounters they should be free.
I completely agree, love you Dee but wish you wouldn't support an activity that uses animals for entertainment. You an swim with dolphins in the wild.
