which excursions for young kids?

[DJNOWICK]

Hi,

We are crusing on the Wonder 7/28-8/1 with a large party (15 people) that includes two 3 year olds. Any thoughts on which, if any, shore excursions would be fun with kids this age? The entire party doesn't need to stay together at all times. I've never cruised before and am just as happy to skip them altogether but DH is looking forward to them.

Thanks! Jackie

I would also like to know what people would recommend for the Disney Magic (eastern.) My DS (almost 5) and DH do not like to swim in the ocean, and I don't really care for sand on the beach. Could anyone give us some ideas? My son hates to go in the shops (oops - I guess I did torture him with shopping while on a Carnival cruise last year.) Thanks.

I took my daughter on the See and Sea in St. Maarten and she loved it... it was a tour of the island, and then a short trip on a semi-submersible to see the fish.

On St. Thomas we did the Coral World, but it was only "okay"... so for our next cruise, we're going to go to Coki beach instead.

Thanks, Erika - how old are your kids? My daughter will be 3 so I just want to compare "age appropriateness".

Thanks - jackie

My daughter had just turned 5. I think your daughter would be fine on the semi-submersible... the "bus" ride around the island might bore her though...
