I agree drink pkg is way to go. It easy to have 2 glasses of wine at dinner due to the fact dinner is usually 2 hours. Add in bottled water, beer and a few misc drinks and you would be at minimum break even. The other nice thing is if you pay for it ahead of time it's one less thing to have on your ship account. You may also find yourse!f trying a different drink and not worry about wasting the money if you don't like it.

They advertise a general sale notice. They had a sale over the weekend. I have noticed in the past also and was able to book at the lower price. Like you, I noticed it was lower but was not marked as a sale on the excursion, just listed at a lower price. I booked one of them for 4 people and saved almost $100. So you need to keep checking the prices. So far on my upcoming cruise, between drinks, excursions and internet, I have saved about $200.

If they think you are sharing they may revoke your drink package and you will be charged for the individual drinks you have had up to that point.

We are doing a beach day at a different island, but we are traveling with children the same age as yours. In Nassau we are going to Ardastra Zoo and the Pirate Museum. We are only in port from 7 am to 2 pm, so our time is limited. I agree with you that Atlantis is over priced.

My kids are big cranberry juice drinkers. We were able to get a glass of cranberry juice anytime with the refreshment pkg on our last cruise.
