Boarding and shore excursion question

[vols001]

I need some help from all of the experience cruisers out there. We are cruising on the 15th on the Wonder for a three day cruise.1st question, what time can you start boarding? We will arrive around 10:00 am. 2nd question, I'm planning our shore excursion in Nassau. If we go on an excursion for 2-3 hours and want to go to the beach after do we have to pay to go to the beach as well? Is there a public beach or are all the beaches excursions? I'm sorry if this sounds silly but I have no clue. I hate to send 150.00 for one excursion (glass botton boat 4-people) and turn around and spend 200.00 to go to the beach
Thank you in advance for all your help!!

Boarding times for the Magic are usually around 12:00-12:15 sometimes a bit earlier or later.....I would assume the Wonder boarding is about the same.

12:15 seems to be the usual boarding time, although I've seen it at 12:30 and even as late as 1 a couple of times. But that tends to be the exception...between 12:15 and 12:30 is the norm.
You can go to the public beach on Paradise Island via taxi. There is no fee to use the beach, but there are no chairs so bring a towels to sit on if you want.
