Dolphin Discovery Cozumel Booking question: Anyone been here lately?

[C&THollings]

When I went in 2008 to Dolphin Discovery we booked directly from their website. I called yesterday to get information on one of their packages. When I mentioned I was on a Carnival ship, the operator told me he could not longer help me. That I had to book directly with Carnival which is about $70 more a person for the same session. He refused to answer any questions at that point.

 

Has anyone booked directly with them lately that sailed on a Carnival ship? Did you have any problems if you did.

 

I can not bring myself to pay Carnival $70 more for the exact same thing. That is just robbery to me !!!

 

The website does not ask any ship information, I do not see why I can't book directly with them. How can Carnival stop me?

The exact thing happened to me today. I am eager to see what responses you get.

I asked this on the regular boards too, I know everyone does not come to this page. I think I will end up booking directly. The reservation form does not ask how you are arriving. I am not paying Carnival when I get nothing in return!

Especially since is 25% off this month!

I posted about this a few weeks ago when I tried myself to book a dophin swim. We did it last year and really enjoyed it so wanted to do it again. When I spoke to the operator she said it had only been in effect for about a month that Carnival has some sort of "agreement" that the only way passengers can go is to do it through them. Others suggested I just call and book and not tell them I'm coming from a Carnival Cruise. The operator said they were losing business. I too REFUSE to pay the extra to Carnival for the same thing I can book myself, for 3 of us that is more than 200.00 extra.

Someone said that you can book online just don't mention you are with a cruise ship.

 

Good luck

I heard this also and am thinking of just going there when we dock in feb and see if we can get in.. there are 4 of us and that would be way too much..

Is there any reason we just couldn't book through Cozumel Insider and just avoid any questions dealing with cruise ships?

 

Is Cozumel Insider the best place to book?

 

Thanks,
