Cream Cruise continued

This cruise also offered those on board the chance to swim with the dolphins.

The plan was to don a snorkeling suit, jump into the net in the water next to the boat, and when one of the cruise officials spotted a dolphin, the swimmers were to put their faces in the water and swim as hard as they could in that direction.

(Seeing that all the swimmers looked about Tara and Kierstin's age, the water temperature not comparing to Fiji's, and the one worker making it sound like it was way out of my league, made it an easy decision to keep it a secret that I had my swimsuit on).  The dolphins didn't want to play.  At least they didn't want to play until the swimmers were out of the water.  After we moved on, we saw four pods of dolphins.  Some jumping and frolicking which we were told is part of their mating ritual.
