redwingzfan Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi, I am going to Nassau on my first cruise in June with my wife and kids (boy age 9 and girl age 7) and we wanted to go to Atlantis. Does anyone recommend the Royal Caribbean Atlantis excursions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 First, congratulations ! ...and welcome to the blogs. Whether or not you go to Atlantis has much to do with how long you will be in port. Many Nassau stops leave by early afternoon and since the Atlantis tours don't normally start until 9 or 10, it doesn't really give you very long in Atlantis. So, if you are going to be there well into the late afternoon, I would say it's a viable option. If you are leaving port in the early afternoon, I would say save it for another time. I have only done a trip to Atlantis once and I will say that it was VERY crowded. There were busses to take you to the resort and they were jam-packed with people from all cruise lines. The lines were long and it was a poorly organized trip, logistically. The resort is beautiful. When we went, the aquarium was included in the excursion but I think they have since dropped that from the itin so not sure if it's still included or not. Personally, I think the only way to enjoy Atlantis is to go on a land cruise and stay there...but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Plus, the Atlantis excursions are EXPENSIVE and, in my opinion, just not worth it for the time you are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I loved Atlantis the two times we were there on land vacations. However, I agree with the others that it's not worth the expense given the short amount of time most ships are in port. If you're on a ship that leaves in the early afternoon, you're spending a lot of money for 4 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryThisPlace Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I also heard that it is cheaper for a family if you pay for one of the cheaper resort rooms that include the full access. I have never tried it but may be something to consider. It would also give you somewhere to shower/change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 There is a website called bahamasdaypass.com that shows it as an authorized partner of Atlantis. They sell the water park pass for as low as $135 so long as you're on a cruise (price varies by season, but even their high season is $160-still cheaper than Royal). RC charges either 189 or 199 depending on whether it's on "sale"" during one of their promos. I'm not a huge waterpark fan, but I've heard this one is over the top, so I"m curious to try it. What have others throught of it? My cruise is on Symphony at the end of Jan. Has anyone used the day pass website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Edit- I just check the official Atlantis website and they offer day passes as well. Same price as the website mentioned above. I assume the only difference is that they dont provide transport there/back if you're on your own, but I think cab fare is pretty cheap there/back, right?

AshleyDillo Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 You may want to look into just booking a room for the day at Comfort Suites (https://www.comfortsuitespi.com/). That will include access to the waterpark for up to 4 people. You will have to provide your own transportation, but it should be easy enough to get a taxi. They're part of the Choice Hotels chains so you can also get some loyalty pricing discounts as well if you're a member of their loyalty program.
