Hi there, Rebecca!
Welcome! I am so excited for your family's FIRST Disney Cruise Line vacation -- your children are at the perfect ages to enjoy everything – from the characters to the
Youth Clubs to the onboard pools – get ready for an unforgettable vacation!
One of the great things about cruising with Disney Cruise Line is that they make everything so easy for you! And booking excursions through Port Adventures is no exception – they work hard to find the best of the best experiences for Guests to see and do the most at each port of call that you visit! I checked with Disney Cruise about this particular
Dolphin Encounter and currently this excursion is only offered from St. Thomas. That is not to say that by the time your onboard booking window opens (75 days prior to sailing) there may be other offerings available, including a similar excursion during your day in Tortola. All excursions are subject to availability and can always change – depending on the day of the week you visit or season that you visit. If participating in a Dolphin Encounter experience is high on your bucket list, and it does not become available or does not work into your schedule, I would recommend possibly booking and doing this on your own when you visit Tortola! While it is always nice to book through Port Adventures for the simplicity and ease, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Just be sure to allow for plenty of time to make it back to the ship for “All Aboard” time!
Time will fly and before you know it, your vacation will be here! But, as you continue planning, please come back with any additional questions you have!
Happy Sailing!
