TkinNC Posted March 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2016 We are considering a cruise that stops in Nassau from 1 until 7 pm. Would the Atlantis aqua pass be worth it? I know that the pools and slides close at sunset, which would be around 5:30, but does the aquarium stay open past then? What do you think? I'm not a fan of Nassau and looking for something fun to do, they only thing I did last time I went, and I only ended up there because the ship had to change courses, was stay around the pier and went to the straw market. Any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks, TK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted March 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't think it would be worth it. You would probably be lining up for a slide at close to 2. You'd have to be back on your ship by 6:30, traffic gets backed up at the bridge, so you would want to head back no later than 5:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted March 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I was going to say the same thing as mjkacmom. The aquarium is open but you're going to want to be packing it in at 5:30 anyway. Traffic can be really bad that time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TkinNC Posted March 10, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Good to know makacmom and CruisinCrow. Thank you! Any suggestions on what to do in Nassau? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan1968 Posted March 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I haven't done it myself, but for a short timeframe like you have, I'd think a day pass at the British Colonial Hilton might be a good idea. From what I understand, it costs about $60, and you get a $40 food/drink credit. I believe they provide you with a towel and you have access to their pools, hot tubs, private beach, and non-motorized watersports equipment. And, it's right near the port - so you can walk there without losing time for transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TkinNC Posted March 11, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks metsfan1968, I will look into that option instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvgseg Posted January 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Planning to do the Discover Atlantis tour next Friday through Bahamasdaypass.com. Is it cheaper than buying directly from Atlantis? Is it possible to buy directly from the Bahamasdaypass.com onsite office once I'm there rather than buying online in advance? If so, is the price any different? It's currently $49/person but I'm not sure that I definitely want to commit to it just yet and so I'm holding off on buying online.

mjkacmom Posted January 20, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think it'a $45 buying direct from Atlantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeWobegon Posted January 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We are doing it. Booked a room at the Comfort Inn and Suites there to get four passes. Is it worth it? That depends. Financially it's not a smart move which is why we spent about $40 on a roundtrip taxi ride to Cable Beach instead last year. But we're trying it this year just to see what it's like. And strategizing on how to best use our time with the expectation it will be hectic and there will be lines. We know people who have spent a week there and so this way we can try it out and see if we ever want do to that instead of a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corley05 Posted August 17, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Did anyone do the British Colonial Hilton? I did the colonial hilton last october. It was okay. The food and drink credit got us each a sandwich, a beer, and a water. ITs small and the ships are right there. We liked it because it was super close, private, and easy. But wouldn't take my kids unless it was a short day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shared charge for the vans that hold 10 are $4 pp. If you don't want to wait for it to fill up you can pay $40 per van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
