We have been taking our now 10 year old there for about 2 or 3 years now and she loves it. I personally thing it is worth it but not sure if everyone would. We have been there atleast 5 or 6 times and I will still keep going back. Another option would be Blue Lagoon island and you could do the dolphins and/or sea lions...

jbanana1 Posted September 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If your kids like waterparks, they will love it, especially if you are able to spend at least 6 hrs or more there (you can still have a good time at 4 hrs there but you would be rushed). It is expensive (we bought thru Majestic Tours at $120 pp) but I knew this summer would be our only time there with our kids, ages 18 & 21, so it was worth it to me to spend the money for them to have the experience and us be able to experience it with them. They both really loved it and are glad we went. I also love waterparks and would consider going again because I could get more of my monies worth the 2nd time since I now know the layout of the place (which can be very confusing). Search "Atlantis" on this board and read my review as well as some others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been to Nassau with them 3 yrs ago and felt they were to young for it. If not Atlantis.....what would you suggest? Thanks ! We visited Atlantis for the day back in January to show our Australian friends the resort. Unfortunately, it hasn't been well kept. There was a large amount of garbage accummulating in the corners of the main lagoon right behind the main building. We were really disappointed in the grounds compared to our previous visit. Personally, I would go to the Blue Lagoon (where we previously swam with the stingrays) at the lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasysutler Posted September 25, 2011 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2011 you would be better to book comfort suites (comfort inn?) and then you get to use all of atlantis. it's much better price break. we were just there last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick&james Posted September 25, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2011 so you pay for the room don't stay there but you get to use Atlantis water park ?? because Carnival wants 175 pp which is outrageous that's almost as much as the Cruise ...

I will be on NCCL and we will dock at 8 and leave at 4 pm So I plan to start packing up at 2 and be on the Taxi by 245 so we can be on the ship by 315 How does that sound. Will we still have fun from 9-2? I say 9 because we have to head to Comfort suite to check in and out. Can you tell me what your day was like?

jbanana1 Posted October 7, 2011 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I didn't notice any rundown areas or garbage build up when we were there this summer. Of course I was busy enjoying the waterslides and pools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it works out great for some if the room rate is good. But check the details for your date. Room rate plus 18% tax, plus housekeeping and energy surcharges and add'l ppl charges. Base room rate is for 2 ppl/ max capacity is 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatcruzer Posted October 8, 2011 #14 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I read somewhere that the slides don't open until 10, so it might not be worth it for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubagirrl Posted October 9, 2011 #15 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I read somewhere that the slides don't open until 10, so it might not be worth it for some. Correct, Slides open at 10, most pools open at 10 also. In the winter months pool and slides close at 5pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare itsanita Posted October 10, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 10, 2011 If you get a room at the Comfort Inn, how does that work out? If we get there around 9, and check in time is 4pm, what do they do with us? Do we just get an armband for the day in Atlantis, and never see our room? As we would have to be heading back to the ship by 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverGS Posted October 11, 2011 #17 Share Posted October 11, 2011 How much is it for the room at Comfort Inn? Other than Blue Lagoon, what else is there to do for 14 and 12 year old boys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubagirrl Posted October 11, 2011 #18 Share Posted October 11, 2011 How much is it for the room at Comfort Inn? Other than Blue Lagoon, what else is there to do for 14 and 12 year old boys? Stingrays at Blackbeards Cay, Power subs with Stuart Cove Snorkeling w Flying Cloud or Seahorse adventures Shark snorkeling with stuart cove Google best on bahamas or majestic tours bahamas There are tons of fun things for all ages.
