Marina Village at Atlantis Hours?

[danicolie]

We're only in Nassau from 7am to 2pm (All aboard 1:30) so we're trying to squeeze in as much as possible...

 

Take a cab to Atlantis (very early - 7:30am) for a quick visit/walk around Atlantis (lobby & casino) and Marina Village. After about 1.5 hrs, grab another cab to the Tiki Bikini Hut at Junkanoo beach for the rest of the morning. (Optional if time permits: From Junkanoo beach, walk to John Watlings Distillery and/or Graycliff Chocolate Factory for free tours on the way back to the ship)

 

Is this a do-able plan? Does anyone know what time the shops at Marina Village open?

 

Any advice/suggestions are appreciated. :)

Most shoppes at Marina village open at 9:30am. So that may be a bit of a delay. Not sure is security will let you check out the lobby, but the adults will be allowed to head to the casino.

Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get back onboard. The port is a bit of a hike if your the last ship on the wharf.

Personally, I think that's trying to do too much. I would either do Atlantis and Junkanoo or Junkanoo and Watlings/Graycliff. Or get the aquarium pass at Atlantis and really see some of the place. Otherwise, you're just going to be rushing from here to there and not enjoying any of it.

 

The tour of Watlings doesn't take long but why go if you're not going to stop and have a drink while you're there? The chocolate factory tour takes a good half hour, if it's available.

 

Also, Watlings and Graycliff are really not on the way back to the port from Junkanoo. They are up the hill, a 10 minute walk.

Agree with above post. That is a lot to do in a few hours. Also, we like to get back to the ship an hour before sail time.

Thank you for the advice. Sounds like shops won`t open until we`re ready to leave so it sounds like we definitely need to revise this plan.

 

Thanks again! :)
