Rawley2…….that makes sense!! I had not even thought about that!! Because not just anyone can have access to IMMTRAC. 

Not sure if this will help anything or anyone BUT......my husband lost his little white card they gave him when he was vaccinated. I called many places where I thought I could/would get a copy. ENDS UP All I needed to do was Call My Local Health Department. I called them and they said his vaccine info was on IMMTRAC.....They gave my husband a copy the next day (only asked for his name & DOB). This paper has all the info on there his name, DOB, place & dates where he got the vaccine etc. As someone mentioned earlier.....none of this info is on the little white card. I'm getting a copy of mine from them as well. 

GS92....good to hear that all went well with your trip.:D

cleophus12....Ugghhhh that totally stinks!! Sorry you had to go through that....was that recently??

scubagirrl....I did not have any fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese or dairy.....thank you for that info;)

Customs...we didn't get stopped at any point getting off the ship or going through the gates? Yes, it probably happens but I'm saying it didn't happen with us. My drinks and snacks were all sealed except for the sandwiches, which I put in baggies.

Hi afeiner31......I brought sandwiches from the ship that I ordered through room service. The rest of the snacks I had brought from home which was part of my plan so I would not have to worry about stopping anywhere and purchasing them;)

Hi afeiner31.....If your asking if at any point did they stop and check my cooler or ask me what I was bringing in......then the answer is no, I was never stopped by anyone or asked what I had in there. I did not take in any glass items. I did have canned drinks, bottled water, sandwiches & snacks like that.

Also....I would like to add that the type of cooler I took in was a large plastic cooler with a long strap (the kind you can carry), just in case anyone is wondering.

hollygtn.....thanks for the clarification. I'm sure others were wondering as well:)

Hello,

We wore water shoes while we were there. They did not make us take them off when we went on the slides. I have seen other posts where they make people take off flip flops (maybe because they do not stay on?) I do not think you will have problems with chaco or keens style shoes.:cool:

Your welcome!!:cool:

Yes, we were able to check in early. As soon as we got off the ship we went to the hotel and checked in. It was around 8:20 am when we got there. We checked in and then checked right back out. You could use the room if you wanted but we did not have time to do this as rooms are usually not ready until the afternoon.:)

The taxi from the port to Atlantis was $4 per person and the same going back. They ask you where you are going when you get on the taxi van. The taxi driver took us to Comfort Suites (which is right across the street) first, waited for us to check in & out and then took us to the tower we needed to be at to get our bands. We did tip him a few dollars extra for waiting for us.

There were no problems getting a taxi back to the port. As you walk out the front doors there are men there waiting to gather people for taxis. We left Atlantis about 3:30 because we had to be back on the ship by 4:30. We got back to port in about 10-12 min. The guy driving said the traffic usually starts to get bad on the bridge after 4? We did not want to get caught in that traffic.

The cost was $300 for 1 night....they charge for each additional adult in the room with a max of 4 per room. If you have per say 5 Adults, you would need to rent 2 rooms. There is not a minimum night stay. I only got the room for 1 night.

We paid $4 per person for the taxi. The band they give you covers all parts of Atlantis, the water park, the dig (aquarium) the reef, the beaches, pools etc.....you do have to pay for lockers (credit cards only) and you can take coolers into the water park....they do not check them. I know because I had one with food & drinks & they did not check it. They provide huge beach towels that anyone inside the water park can use for free as well.:)

Hello all. Just wanted to give some info on going to Atlantis through a room rented through Comfort Suites. I work for the government so I paid $300 for the room for 3 Adults (me & 2 teens) online. I reserved the room about a month before we left in the cruise. As soon as we got off the Carnival ship (a few minutes after 8) we went out the gates and there were guys there asking if we needed a taxi, we said yes & waited about 2 minutes. (They want to fill there vans). Anyway, it was $4 per person & it took about 8 minutes to get to Comfort Suites. Once there, we went to check in. They did not ask me for a government ID. Just a license or passport. It was really easy, just make sure each adult has an ID, they did ask each of us for them because they give you a printed pink card with your info that you take with you to Atlantis. The lady at the hotel front desk was Super Nice!! I told her we were checking in & checking right back out & there was no problem with that. After we were given our pink cards we went back to Atlantis. Our taxi driver actually told us he would wait for us & he did!! I was glad (maybe others can tell them to wait as well). He took us right to the Tower we needed to go to & we went to the check in at desk & gave them the pink cards & each of us had a band put on our wrist. That was it!! We were inside the water park before 9 am!! We put out things in a locker and went straight to the beach first, stayed till 10 then headed for the water park. Hardly any lines & there were 4 ships in port!! After that we went to the dig and then the reef & also saw the huge turtles stingrays & sharks!! It was a Graat Dsy but just lots & lots of walking!! We had no problems with getting tubes or getting hurt in the water rides. You will have fun here & it's worth doing once!! It is not difficult to do this and it is way cheaper than booking through the cruise line!! Hope this helps😊

Great trip report! W will be on the Liberty next week! Thank you:cool:

Hello.....The rates that are on top......are they per person to go to each place?

Hello. My family & I had a booked a tour through Viator in Nassau. It was the city sightseeing tour (2-3 hrs.) and it was $20. I had received an e-mail from them after purchasing this that said the name of the tour company that was going to be picking us up. I believe it was Bowes Transportation. I tried to find info on this company and never found anything. About 2 week ago I went online to my Viator account and saw a message to me that said (your City Sightseeing Tour is no longer available)? I guess I could have changed it to another tour but I was really worried about it so I just cancelled. They did return the money to my credit card about 4 days later. It just seemed very sketchy to me.

Buzz2400.....thank you for the info regarding your excursion to dead mans reef. We will be there next week and booked directly through Paradise Cove. Going on Carnival and we will supposable be there from 8-5......Glad you were able to get some money back from your trip.

Judygil.....Thank you so much for your reply!! I did not receive that e-mail for some reason? I appreciate your info:)

Hello, does anyone know where the pick-up location is for Paradise Cove tours? We booked with them and the site only says "pick up 1 hour after your ship docks". Thank you for any info:) Gloria

Hello....just wondering if anyone has done this recently (booking a room at Comfort Suites). Is everything still the same?? Thanks for any info;)

The viator tour doesn't show up???
