We spent the day swimming with dolphins in Cozumel, Mexico — but the experience isn’t quite the same as it used to be. On our recent Royal Caribbean cruise, we booked the VIP Dolphin Swim at Dolphinaris Cozumel to see what the experience is actually like after Mexico’s new regulations changed the way tourists can interact with dolphins. In this video, I’m taking you through the entire excursion from start to finish — getting there from the cruise port, what the Dolphinaris facility is like, the dolphin encounter itself, snorkeling, lunch, transportation back to the ship, and everything that was included in the price. Most importantly: was it actually worth the money? If you’re considering a dolphin excursion in Cozumel on an upcoming Royal Caribbean cruise, hopefully this gives you a better idea of what to expect before you book. 🚢 Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean 📍 Port: Cozumel, Mexico 🐬 Excursion: VIP Dolphin Swim at Dolphinaris Cozumel Thanks so much for watching!
