Well I just sent u a big long message but I think it failed to go thru. Can u tell me about the water and the surroundings of the water please. My 17 year old and I are apprehensive about booking dolphin encounter there next month b/c she freaks out about not being able to see thru the water and I freak out about gators!!!

Can anyone compare and contrast the difference between the dolphin research Center and the theater of the seas up Islamadora? We will be staying in marathon so the dolphin research Center is closer. I just wasn't sure if there was more to do in terms of shows and things at theater of the sea. Thank you for any opinions that you have!
