does anyone know if it is better to book swimming with the dolphins and/or parasailing with the cruiseline or once you arrive at the bahamas book with a company on the island ? by better i really mean cheaper and longer thanks alot for any info

We did both parasailing and the dolphin encounter. Definitly book your parasailing with NCL to do at Great Stirrup Cay, great experience the guys who operate the excursion were great. Also I would reccomend booking your dolphin encounter with NCL. Since you are only in the Bahamas a short if you book with NCL the ship won't leave port until all of their excursions have returned. We just made it back in time! Also the excursion was great my kids still talk about every day.
