Best Carnival Family Excursion in Nassau & Freeport?

Hi, we are going on our first cruise in December...family of 4 (2 kids under 12). We will be going to Nassau and Freeport. We'd like to do one of the dolphin excursions off the Carnival Ecstasy. My kids aren't good swimmers though. Are they provided life jackets for these type of excursions? If not, can we bring our own or rent them? Anyone been there then? Is the water super cold at that time? Wondering about wetsuits for the kids....they have their hearts set on the dolphins!

We did the Balmoral Island Beach Day and really enjoyed it....three of our family of nine also did the dolphin encounter on Balmoral and then joined us at the beach. There were life jackets and my 75 year old mom did swim with the dolphins so it is not too strenuous...a beautiful day and not very crowded.

No worries. They provide life jackets and everyone is required to wear one. They ARE VERY SAFETY CONSCIOUS . The water is warm year round so no wet suits needed

Thank you!:)

Great.....thank you! :):cool:
