when to book Excursions

[waymickey]

We are going on Cruise August 12 and we are eager to book our excursions. Does anyone know when and how to do this? I want to book the wild side for my DD. I have no Idea what to do for the day at Nassau. We would love to go to the Atlantis but the price is so high for a day on the beach. We hate to pay just 7 bucks to sit on a beach but 60-80??? That is an awful lot for a beach day. Any ideas for other excursions??

Im not sure what else there is to do in Nassau besides Atlantis. We did the "Discover Atlantis" and it was wonderful! We didn't get to go to the "Aquaventure" but it was still really nice to get to wander around. We enjoyed it!

The Booking Schedule is as follows:

I always book online at www.disneycruise.com. I put in my reservation number (and I think they ask for birthday also for some reason) then click on excursions and book what I want.

================================================== ========
I have only been to Nassua once and we did the
Blue Lagoon Island Dolphin Encounter which took about 5 hours.
================================================== ========
Since you mentioned beaches Junkanoo Beach is a very short walk 15-20 minutes from where you dock. You can rent beach chairs there for about $5.00 each. I have read (but not expereinced) that Cabbage beach can be very scary at times with rough water and undertow, so have read where people have said to not go there. You can also take the $1.25 public bus # 10 from Downtown to Cable Beach (pick-up at the corner of W. Bay St. & George St. near the Straw Market or walk all the way to the McDonald's/Dunkin Donuts across from the Hilton British Colonial on W. Bay St.). Have the driver drop you off at Sandals Grand Bahamian Resort - you can't use the resort, but the beach right next to it is free :) . The public access to the beach is 1/2 a block from the resort's entrance.
================================================== ====================
Are you only looking for beach things to do, or other things?


At Castaway Cay - I highly recommend doing the string ray feeding and snorkling.

We are looking for anything to do. We did the snorkle adventure last time but DD has developed a phobia of the snorkel so that is out.
