NCL Sky - Atlantis Beach Break

Hey there, i just got off the phone with the NCL shore excursion team. I was hoping to book the Atlantis & Beach Break excursion because we have shore excursion credit to burn. The lady said the bus leaves @ 830 at the Dock, and we must be back on the bus @ 1 for the return bus, there are not later buses....Is this true?? Ship doesnt depart until 5 pm, so we would still have 4 extra hours.

If it is true, whats the harm in just taking a Taxi back later on our own? And could we take a taxi from Atlantis to the Watlings Rum Distillery?

There shouldn't be a problem getting a cab back to port, or even to the Distillery. Rate is $13 for 2 pp 4$ for ea. add'l person l heading back downtown. There may be a shuttle going back to port, if so, it's $4 pp.

You should know that you have to leave plenty of time to get back to port as you have to be back on board at least 30 - 60 minutes before you depart. Your captain will let you know what time you are expected to be onboard.

Additionally, the bridge heading back to port backs up with traffic just before 4pm, so you need to be in your cab and on your way at 3:45pm
