msweezie Posted December 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hi, our ship leaves Nassau at 6, next week. not really into spending the money for the water slides there. Is it worth it to take the water taxi there? I ready that you can't get far into the resort anymore, is that true? I was there years ago, and we managed to walk right into one of the aquariums and down onto a beach (maybe a fluke?) So wondering if it is worth the trip with pass or plans.

mjkacmom Posted December 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2015 You will not be allowed on the beach, or in the aquarium, with purchasing a pass. There is a pass for both, or just the aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseonthebrain Posted December 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We now take a cab over to Atlantis and walk around Marina Village and go to the casino. Do you recall what time you caught the cab, how long of a ride it was and how much the cab cost? Thanks much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare happychippy Posted December 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's a quick 10 minute taxi ride from the pier to the Atlantis at about $4 per person one way. Drivers will be waiting outside the pier, and may ask you to ride along with another couple to make the trip worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Portman Posted December 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The water taxi can be a nice ride to Atlantis ... but not as reliable on the way back - sometimes (and often times) the boat waits to be full and I've waited way too long ... never missed the ship but saw some cruisers on the edge. You can easily get a taxi back - as everyone is saying, you may have to share but that is it; taxis are comfy enough and cheap. Now, the big question: Why Atlantis if you don't want to do the Water Slides and all the rest? Next to Atlantis, literally, you have Cabbage Beach - if all you want is to spend time in the sun ... and is FREE. And you can still walk and visit Marina Village. In fact, if you take the water taxi the best way to get to Cabbage Beach is walking trough Marina Village and then trough the Casino and end up on the north side exit of Atlantis ... Cabbage Beach is just next to it. But there many other alternatives to Atlantis if you don't really fell like water slides and all the resort thing.
