Bahamas Shore Excursions/Boarding Info (Leaving 5-15 HELP!)

[greentooth2003]

What do you suggest for a 2 and 4 year old in the Bahamas? Too young for dolphins...Anything else? Nothing seems too great.

Anything not offered by DCL worth doing? Blue Lagoon Beach Day by DCL any good?? Or just cab to cable beach? Do they let you on Wyndham Beach free?

Also, tips on what time to arrive at ship and what to do first (ex. reserve camp,etc) We heard arrive at 10:15am to depart...Accurate?

Going next week...Any suggestions ASAP would be appreciated!

We went to the Wyndham at Cable Beach. It is most definately free. My kids are older (9 & 12) so this was not a problem for us - but - when we were at the Wyndham last week there were TONS of teenagers there, apparently celebrating high school graduation (at first I thought they were college kids but was kind of late for Spring Break). It was really hard to find any chaises on the beach or at the pool. Apparently, drinking and gambling age is 18 in the Bahamas so it's a big draw for the grads. I'm not dis'ing the Wyndham, just wanted to give you heads up.

This was our second Disney Cruise. The first time we left the kids on the ship and went to Atlantis, which was boring without wristbands to use the beach/pools. We did enjoy Cable Beach, but again, our children are older.

Honestly, stay on the ship. We went into Nassau for about 1 hour, just for the kids to buy some trinkets and went back to the ship. The Wonder cruises go by fast, and this was the perfect time to relax by the pool without too large a crowd. By the at-sea day, it was so crowded my kids had no desire to go, which was fine, since we'd already spent the good part of a day there relaxing and eating just about one of everything from Pluto's and Scoops.

With DS7 and DD5, we plan on checking them into the kids club and venturing out on our own for a while. Not too long - just enough to shop a little. I am hoping for a nice day at CC so the lagoon beach does not thrill me and while the dolphins seem great - I am really just wanting to take it easy on board and enjoy the ship. We are at WDW the week before so we will need some R&R!

The pirate museum in Nassau is actually a lot of fun for kids. When I went I had DD5 and DD2 and they both enjoyed it a lot. There is one spot that is a tad scarey for kids, but even Pirates of the Caribbean is more frightening imo.

Can you walk to the museum from the ship? I have thought of going here, but we don't really want to take a taxi...i hear the driving is realllly bad! Egads!

We walked to the museum from the ship. We walked through the Straw Market too, so I'm afraid I don't recall just how far it was. We had a stroller for DD2, but DD5 walked and I don't recall her complaining about it so it mustn't have been too bad.
