Aquaventure Oasis Waterpark vs Baha Bay Water Park

[19pamela68]

I'll be on a Royal Caribbean cruise and there are two excursions offered for water parks.  Anyone have opinions on either or both?  Thank you!

I’ve only done Atlantis, fun, both are probably cheaper done independently, both are an inexpensive taxi ride.

I did the Day Pass at Atlantis a few times before the pandemic and just recently this past November spent the day at the Baha Bay Waterpark.   Baha Bay was about a 15 minute taxi ride in the opposite direction, check in was easy and I liked their Digital wristbands that you scan to get in the park as well as use as a key if you rent a locker which we did.  Another great thing about Baha Bay was no lines, no crowds, and plenty of seating with umbrellas everywhere.  Very clean and staff was all very friendly.   Plenty of slide or river floats, and going on the slides there was no wait.   The waterpark is on the Cable Beach and you can walk out to it, but you have to scan to get in and out of the park.  I liked the Wave Pool beach area and that was our go to area.   Baha Bay also had the Sugar Factory with lots of fun drinks. Casino inside the waterpark area.    I didn't see aquariums like the Atlantis, and Baha Bay tickets did not give access to the inside resort areas.  It was a nice option to escape the crowds and I would absolutely do it again.  I always book in advance on Resortforaday.com  and they've always been great with questions and their cancellation policy is very flexible for cruise passengers.

Any recent comparisons to these two? Is Baha mar still not as busy? Atlantis day pass is twice Baha mar on the day we are there!

We just did Baha Mar on a cruise a few weeks ago. Not busy, no lines. Did rent a cabana (we were 3 adults and 4 kids). Clean and fun but I’ve never been to Atlantis to compare. Plan on BM again in December
