we decided that going on a cruise for spring break would be too expensive, besides, grace clay is afraid of sharks.

Explanation:

The original sentence uses a comma to connect two independent clauses ("We decided that going on a cruise for spring break would be too expensive" and "Grace Clay is afraid of sharks") with the conjunctive adverb "besides", which creates a comma splice. Conjunctive adverbs require a semicolon before them (or a period to make separate sentences) to properly link independent clauses.

Answer:

We decided that going on a cruise for spring break would be too expensive; besides, Grace Clay is afraid of sharks.
