scrapmamma Posted September 16, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2010 We are going but I wanted to budget for those pictures. I'll bring my own underwater camera as well. I would like to know how much the professional pics are as well as the DVD they make for you. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart Posted September 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2010 2 years ago I paid about $70 for several pictures and the DVD...well worth it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerynSun_JohnCrighton Posted September 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2010 back in 2007 or 2008, I paid 50 for the dvd... but I felt if I was paying 200 for the excursion another 50 was nothing to have the video too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkelman Posted September 18, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I have read more recent posts suggesting the price is near/above $100 but may include the 10 minute video as well as a handful of pictures. Not sure if there are different options, but I will be there in 2 weeks and would be interested in any info from anyone who went in 2009 or 2010.

SheSheND Posted January 3, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2011 In December, my friend and I just paid $110 together for all of our pictures from our Dolphin Royal Swim and Manatee encounter (14 pictures). There was no DVD video taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no DVD video taken. no DVD??? oh man... I guess they have changed it in the last few years... not sure I'd want to do it again w/ no dvd to get... the dvd was wonderful and I pop it in every so often to 'remember' it.

lynnebr Posted January 4, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 4, 2011 We were there at the end of December 2010 and they wanted $80 for about 20 pictures on a CD -- or $25 each for printed 8x 10s, with no DVD/CD. I think the pricing may be different if you swim with others in your same party. My daughter was in a group of 6 people for the Royal Swim, but all of the other 5 were from the same family that we did not know, and they got different pricing for their pictures (can't recall what it was, but it was not $80 x 5, so per person it was cheaper).

momxthree3 Posted January 4, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Last march it was $40 for the video and about $20 per picture. There was a package deal, but some of the pictures were not very good, so we just picked 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Knot Me Posted January 5, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 5, 2011 How much is it to do the Dolphin Swim and what is included. Plus, is it something that my 13 year old can do while I watch? How far is this from the port and is taxi the best way to get there. Since I'm traveling alone with DD, I'm also thinking of safety for transportation while in port. Thanks!

gapearl Posted January 5, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Last February, we were offered an 8 minute video for $40. It was edited extremely well, but we passed. They wanted $20 a picture, but when we were about to pass on those too, they lowered the price down to $10 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the dolphins at Chankanaab the week before Christmas 2010 while sailing on the Carnival Liberty. We booked it ourself online and got a discount and they added the mantees. The van ride from the port to the park for 6 people was $23 and took about 10 minutes. YOu can take your own waterproof camera/video camera with you are someone can pay $5 and sit on the side and take px. The px they take are great and are $20 each can't remember the price of the video. The park is fabulous and so beautiful. The workers were very nice and were willing to stop and take px of our group throughout our visit. There is a nice gift store and the bathrooms/changing area is very clean. The lockers are free and you get one yourself. We had no problem getting back to the ship - the taxis/vans wait outside the park and they call one over for you.

Why Knot Me Posted January 7, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I found their website so that has been helpful. What I'm wondering now is... 1. Is a reservation required or can you just arrive and do the Dophin Swim? 2. If I have a reservation and the ship for whatever reason doesn't make it to Cozumel, can I get my money back?
