Hi all, This is our first cruise. We will be on the Oasis of the Seas in October. The Cruise Critic is of great help to us. I was hoping to get some advice on what to do while in the ports. I think in Bahamas we will just take a stroll around Nassau as this is the first day and also a short stop. Atlantis seems too expensive for the short time we are in part. We are a family of 4 - kids are 12 and 15 years of age. What can you recommend to do in St Thomas and St Maarten that does not cost a fortune? Is there a beach you would recommend? At St Maarten we talked about going to see where the plans almost land at the beach. Do you recommend to go on the excursions arranged by the cruise line, or is it safe to go on your own? All your help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Thanks very much. Could you please confirm that you will arrive in the morning and then go to the water park and then not use the room at all? Much appreciated.

I am paying $214 through Booking.com - says it includes 12% VAT, 28.46 service charge per person and 11.2% City tax. I don't think there any additional fees and I pay when I get there....

Thanks a lot. Did you book accomondation through Resort for a Day? I just checked their website and the entrance fee is the same as on board the ship.

Thanks a lot. If booking via Booking.com it says there will be some deposits to pay but not additional 140$ fees and taxes because that off course adds a lot to total cost. Since the tickets include our check in and check out dates will they actually let us in so early in the morning as check in time is not until 3 pm or can we not get in in the morning when we get in with the ship? We are only there from 9 am till 3 pm. Perhaps that is too short time to visit Atlantis at all? Thanks a lot.

Hi Cruiser,

Have anyone lately tried to book a room for 4 at Comfort Suites and then been able to get the tickets in the morning at CS and then go to Aquaventure for the day and then straight back to the ship? Thanks a lot for you help. Would appreciate your help on this and how it works.
