I know its a lot of money, MIL is covering a large portion of it as an outing with our family. We will have 3 adults and 5 kids in our party, ages 6-13 with the 6 year old special needs.

We are going on a cruise to the Bahama's stops at Nassau, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, and Castaway Cay. We are cruise noobs and was wondering if anyone had any excursions that they have done and enjoyed? Or any excursions they did not like and were a waste of time and money?

We are thinking of doing the Graycliff Chocolatier and are considering the Ardastra Gardens in Nassau. We really wanted to do the pig beach, but there aren't any excursions listed with Disney. As it is our first time, I am chicken to try to book stuff outside of our cruise.

For the Lookout Cay we are thinking of doing South Eleuthera Eco and Cultural Tour - it eats up half the day so wanted anyone's opinion if it is a good trip.

Any tips or advice we would appreciate very much. We don't anticipate ever cruising with Disney again so wanted to make sure we maximized our trip. Thanks!
