We went to Blue Lagoon and did the dolphin encounter. The island was beautiful and the dolphin encounter was absolutely fantastic!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Unfortunately, it took an extra 90 minutes to debark the ship due to issues at the port. Likely as a result of the hurricane but it still took a lot longer than it normally would have.
