Several questions about Blackbeard's Cay....

[Poultrygeist]

My wife and i have decided to book the Blackbeard's Cay excursion. We're departing on the Monarch on 7/31. We will be taking our 10,7, and 2 year old boys with us. This will be the boys first time snorkelling. They are both good swimmers.

 

1. If we book the regular beach day and the kids decide they are up to the stingray swim, will we be allowed to upgrade then? I ask this because there is a $23 difference for each one of them between the beach day price and the stingray swim. I'm afraid they might chicken-out since this is their first time.

 

2. My wife is planning to mostly lounge and watch the toddler, but if she wanted to use my gear, would they let her? Or would we both have to pay? I know I sound cheap, but I am :-)

 

3. I've read about sand fleas being a problem in the past, is that still an issue? We use Bullfrog sunscreen/insect repellent already, will that be sufficient?

 

Thanks

 

Can't wait.
