I know this is almost two years old, but it is an interesting read! We has passports, but never carry them off the ship... I always make sure I take a credit card off the ship for emergencies and when I travel. You never know when an issue will arise, such as this. Also, asking the host for a comped Atlantis room is a great idea. If I am ever stranded in Nassau, that will be my hotel choice. I don't know how comping works since I have never gambled there, but I am sure my Vegas host could back me for a room...
