Dine with Shamu - SeaWorld

[stassyc]

We are thinking of doing the dine with Shamu experience at SeaWorld when we go in November and was wondering whether anyone who had done it thought it was worthwhile (ie; do you get to see Shamu whilst eating or are some of the deats further away) and also do you think we should book in advance and if so how?

Sorry for all the questions!!!

Thank you x

We did it in june. The whole thing was fantastic and would recommend it to all! Food was plentiful, buffet. Great view. Yes you can see the whale whilst eating. The seating is 1 row next to the pool and they also have a 2nd row but not as many tables. Trainers come and talk to you so you can ask any questions you might have. Booking can be done HERE (http://commerce.4adventure.com/EStore/Scripts/Skins/SWF/DiningBookNow.aspx?selectedsellinggroupid=12187)

Totally agree - it's a must - we had a fantastic time and you are so close to shamu. Great food also :tounge:

[TinkTatoo]

I'd advise booking it as it was sold out on the day we did it

[igoefamily]

Agree with the others it really is great. Your close enough to the animals and the trainers tell you about what they do at seaworld and answer questions. The food was good, its a buffet. I would definately try and book it in advance so your not disappointed.

We were there last month and loved it

This is how close you get to Shamu ...

hi been on the seaworld website, do you dine with shamu after the usual show been on the website but cant find out how to book the shamu day or night show and how much it is, would like to book both for example watch the shamu day show and then maybe dine with shamu thanks stef

[Pipic]

Good question Stefsmith - I was going to ask the same ie what time is it on? Is it on at the same time as Believe and, if it is, can you see the show from where you sit?

and does it smell fishy? :erm:

[buddicle]

The dine is after the show and no it does'nt smell of fish!

[2waterford]

Wow Jonno that is some picture. We have also booked Shamu and are doing it on Christmas Eve for the first seating which I think is around 4pm.

Hi get it booked now. We go on December 2nd and I booked it in March to make sure we got a booking. It's always busy, even at the back end of the year.

[motty1969]

How far in advance can you book this does anyone know?

I booked in March for December 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LisaH]

I agree with all the comments - we had a fabulous time, well worth the money!.

If anyone is celebrating a special occasion, you can book a cake (and from what I remember the cost was reasonable & the cake was very nice). We had a birthday cake for my daughter and everyone sang "happy birthday" to her after the show.

(The only thing to remember is that there are lots of lovely sweets included in the buffet price - so you would probably have some of the cake left to take home)

[Sue]

I booked in March for December 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right - I'll be ringing them in January then, got to get me a good table :D

Thank you all so much for your replies - I am definitly gonna book it now....well when my fiancé will give me his card - they wont let me book it with a maestro :mad2:

[stassyc]

After badgering my fiancé he has gradually caved in and we have now booked a "dine with Shamu" for 5th November for Seating 1 - whenever that is!!! :spin: So so so excited - woopeeeee :d:

[Lesley_Perschky]

Done this twice, on the second occasion in December was very disapointed with the whale interaction. They were only around for about five minutes and then they went back into the main pool to get ready for the last Believe show.

[Florida virgin]

We are doing this on the 26th Sept and I cannot wait!

[ashwales]

we do this every trip now .......food is nice ...something a it different fom the norm and you get some great up close photo ops with shamu ...worht the money def

[The BeeGees]

So what time is the dining? We want to stay for evening show etc, so timing of meal would be important.

[zdickens]

I'll be ringing in the New Year looks great. Someone at work did Dine with Shamu last week and said it was fantastic.

[pookster]

I am soo doing this!!! :)

[DizneyBlonde]

Our time in August was 4.45pm.

[bourlea]
