Paid pig-photo lines instead of a swim, CocoCay guest says

A March 2024 visitor says the excursion felt more like waiting to hold pigs for paid photographs than swimming with them. The couple paid about $265 and were disappointed by restrictions on personal photos and an additional photo charge. They also describe pigs defecating in the water and staff removing the waste. Those observations do not establish a tested water-quality violation or resulting illness.
