Allure of the Seas... 12 days!! HELP!

So I'm leaving for a cruise in 12 days and have yet to pick any excursions for us ( 2 adults, 2 kids). Anyone have any recommendations for these ports:

Nassau Bahamas (no Atlantis)
St.Thomas
St. Maartin

Any ideas of good ones to consider?

TIA

We are going on Allure in January. Would love to hear how you liked it when you get back.

I was looking into a snorkeling excursion through Soualiga Destinations in St. Martin

Trunk Bay is a good excursion for the St Thomas stop. My kids loved it. The excursion takes you on a ferry over to St John then they take you to trunk bay. It is an underwater preserve. There are plaques to read underwater that tell you what you are looking at. The water is calm, gentle slope so kids can easily play in the water if they don't snorkel. But my kids try snorkeling there. They will give you snorkel, mask, vest and fins on the tour. I am not a fan of borrowing so we bring our own, but it was offered.

I'm not sure how old your kids are, but in St. Thomas I did a snorkel excursion to Turtle Cove. Swimming around with all of those sea turtles was so cool! Both locations were fabulous. I didn't have my kids with my on that cruise, but there were lots of kids on that excursion& they all looked to be having a blast following the turtles.

If you're looking for a beach day, I've heard raves about Coki Beach & that it's good for families.

In St. Maarten went to Maho Beach to watch the planes fly in. Super cool experience, but the beach itself isn't too impressive. If you want the experience, I recommend it, but if a nice beach is paramount not so much.

For Nassau I've been to Atlantis twice & Senor Frogs once .. which isn't helpful. However before my kids talked me into Atlantis I was highly considering Ardastra Gardens & Zoo or Cable Beach.
