Water shoes are a good idea and can be found on Amazon pretty inexpensively at any time of year. Lanyards make a fun stocking stuffer and you can find the perfect design for any style on Amazon. A few years back I got all my guys a new one and found the perfect one for each, from the Whovians to the super hero fan. The hotel room route to keeping Atlantis reasonable is a great suggestion. Our family has been cruising once or twice a year for the past 10 years and done dozens of various excursions.  My kids range in age from 11-26 now. Most would tell you that a simple beach day is their favorite.

I gotta say this about water shoes. Get decent ones. The cheapo ones will possibly rub blisters on the feet if warn for too long. I know this from experience. I would personally want to try them on first. Minor thing here but foot comfort can be important with a lot of walking that can be done. 

Just my opinion.
