Excursions. Whats the deal?

[canals68]

Leave on Wonder on 11/30 for Nassau, Freeport, Castaway Cay. Only booked the trip last week. What's the deal with excursions? Should I try to book a few now? Do they fill up that fast? Any suggestions on your favorites are appreciated. Iam sailing with my wife, a 4yr old and an 11 mos. old.

With those ages, I'd just stay on the boat and skip the excursions at Freeport and Nassau. I'd certaily get at least the snorkeling equipment for one on Castaway Cay. Your wife can snorkel while you watch the kids and when she gets back you can go. Whatever you do, don't go to Altantis beach with a 4 year old and a less than 1. The waves there can often be too high for kids to swim in. If you MUST get off the boat, then do the Blue Lagoon beach day. The lagoon is very shallow and be sure to take along a bucket for the 4 year old. Lunch there is not too bad and there's no one pestering you to buy anything while you are on the beach (NOT true for the Atlantic beach).
Anyway- that's my 2cents.
