Yes, I did take pictures. I had a waterproof camera with me and kept it around my wrist. I did also purchase the pictures that they took. They take 3 individual pictures of each person with the dolphin you are swimming with. The first one they take is a "dancing" picture where you will hold both fins the second is a picture of the dolphin kissing your cheek and the third is a picture of the dolphin "kissing" you on the lips (yuck!). They are all 5x7 size. I believe they do also video but I am not sure. When you get to the Dolphin Encounter/Discovery you will be split into several different groups and will rotate activities on a time schedule. For example, my husband and I swam with the dolphins first, went to the beach and toured the facilities second and ate lunch third. It does take all day and we were so hungry by the time our group was able to eat. It is very well organized. There are a lot of things to see at the facilities (sting rays, turtles, birds, etc.). The only thing I worried about is that they do not have lockers and you have to leave your things on a bench in a basement type area. Everything was fine so I worried for nothing. Anguila was AWESOME! This has got to be one of the best excursions I have ever been on. It does take time to get to Anguila (first a boat then a bus) but it is well worth it. The only thing I did not like was missing St. Maarten. By the time we returned back to the ship, my husband and I only had an hour to spend on the island. This only gives me a good reason to go back!!! If I can figure out how to post a picture (keeps saying file is too big), I will show you pictures of what you can expect.
