Going for Jubilee!

Bounced back and forth but we have settled on a 7 day Jubilee. I've been researching but have a few questions mixed in.

Mahogany Bay will be a beach day, everything says it's right off ship and a carnival beach. Possibly need to rent the chairs.

Cozumel/Costa Maya. I'm thinking port wandering and tubing cave excursion. Would love any suggestions or specific ideas though. I think I'm still a little nervous and want to stick with in port or carnival specific excursions. I do not want to be a pier runner.

Now the unknown. I have a camp ocean kiddo. I've seen a few people say their kids could not bring water bottles or drinks. I'm cool with just checking her out every hour or so to get some fluid in her but really she is too shy to ask for a drink (and forgetful if shes having fun) and having her own would be handy. Any first hand, recent experience?

Galveston hotel suggestions? Or close too. I keep seeing harbor house and similar located places but that is definitely not in our budget. I'm thinking if we can find somewhere 2-3 hours away and then just pay to park at port that will be sufficient.

Last thing on my brain currently is I read somewhere about a free bracelet that you can buy charms for. Anyone have a picture or information on said bracelet. Myself and 2 girly girls would appreciate the info.

Dad and oldest kiddo would be getting bubbles. Little and I will carry on drinks. We aren't big drinkers so a bottle of wine is enough for us. Last time we brought 2 and carried one right back off the ship lol.

We've picked our dates/ship. Going to talk to the girls this weekend. Still debating between an interior and balcony. I think an interior would be fine, save $500 but I'm taking in everyone's opinions and then booking.

Gravy that was long, TIA!
