Frequently Asked Questions
Are dolphin sightings guaranteed?
No — dolphins are wild animals, and no honest captain will promise a sighting. In practice we see them on the large majority of cruises. Captain Mark has decades of experience on the water and will keep looking for as long as the trip allows.
Is there a restroom on board?
Yes. The Sweet Melissa has an enclosed restroom below deck, so you never have to cut a trip short. The cabin below also has comfortable seating, a refrigerator, and a kitchen area.
