jenseib Posted April 30, 2016 Author #77 Share Posted April 30, 2016 There were bridges all over the place we spotted a few we wanted to go over so we turned back to head towards one that looked to have some good views. atlantis131 by Jenseib, on Flickr That lady we passed stopped us and told us we didn’t have the proper band to go in that area. SHOOT! We had wandered out without even realizing it. Shoot shoot shoot. Well we enjoyed our rebelness while it lasted. So new game plan…..where are we now? atlantis132 by Jenseib, on Flickr It was getting closer to noon and we had to meet up in Coral Towers lobby at 12:30 for our tour so we decided it was probably wise to start heading that way. atlantis134 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted May 2, 2016 Author #79 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It’s pretty wavy out, but many people were enjoying the beach. atlantis138 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis139 by Jenseib, on Flickr All of a sudden one of those wave runners was swept out to sea. You should have seen the guy go after that baby! atlantis140 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis141 by Jenseib, on Flickr This is not an alien in this picture…I just blurred out the young girl in her bathing suit. That guy is standing on a rescued wave runner. atlantis142 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis143 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 2, 2016 Author #80 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I guess she didn’t like this sunny day so much? atlantis144 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis145 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis146 by Jenseib, on Flickr I remembered this building from the last time I was here. I think Skip and I got a burger to share there. I knew we had to make our way over that way to get to back inside. atlantis147 by Jenseib, on Flickr Aha…here is the pretzel picture. I must have taken it later as we passed another food location. atlantis148 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis149 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 2, 2016 Author #81 Share Posted May 2, 2016 These guys liked to hang around the food locations. atlantis150 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis151 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis152 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis153 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis154 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis155 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 2, 2016 Author #82 Share Posted May 2, 2016 We came to the shark lagoon now. atlantis156 by Jenseib, on Flickr bah28 by Jenseib, on Flickr bah29 by Jenseib, on Flickr The sharks were swimming with their fins up out of the water. I thought they only did that when they were going to attack something. atlantis157 by Jenseib, on Flickr bah30 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis158 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 2, 2016 Author #83 Share Posted May 2, 2016 And a video…not very good and I stupidly tried to hum the jaws music…except I can’t carry a tune. bah31 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis159 by Jenseib, on Flickr That saw shark (I am sure there is a technical name) was pretty cool. bah32 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted May 3, 2016 Author #85 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I started walking a little faster now. I wanted to enjoy all this, but I knew we were getting closer to our meet time. We would just have to come back out here after the tour. We finally made it into the bar/restaurant area. I think I took this exact same picture last time we were here. atlantis162 by Jenseib, on Flickr bah33 by Jenseib, on Flickr I was now walking ahead of the rest of them…kind of like the one kid who is always ahead of the family. LOL. Hey guys I found the steps to go down and look at the sharks…we should come back and do this after our tour! On I went, with my slow pokes following behind. atlantis163 by Jenseib, on Flickr A quick hi to the rays. atlantis164 by Jenseib, on Flickr I waited at the top of the steps for the rest to catch up. atlantis165 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis166 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted May 3, 2016 Author #87 Share Posted May 3, 2016 atlantis171 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis172 by Jenseib, on Flickr And back through the shopping area. atlantis173 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis174 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis175 by Jenseib, on Flickr We arrived at the lobby and looked around. I didn’t see anyone who looked like they were waiting on us so I asked at the desk where I would find Karen. She pointed me over to another desk because she said she had just been over there. That guy found Karen for me and we all introduced ourselves and I did tell he we had an extra and hoped that was ok. She was fine with it. She handed us each a little bit of paperwork, basically brochures/map type things and took us over to a table in the lobby and then proceeded to tell us a bit about Atlantis in general and what we would be doing today. atlantis176 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 3, 2016 Author #88 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I LOVE this couch! atlantis177 by Jenseib, on Flickr Then she took us to the elevator and we headed up in the Coral tower to tour a room. atlantis178 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis179 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis180 by Jenseib, on Flickr The rooms are spacious! I believe she told us later that all of the Coral Tower is being refurbished later this summer. And I mean all, rooms, lobby, etc! They are going to actually close the tower down during this time. atlantis181 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis182 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 3, 2016 Author #89 Share Posted May 3, 2016 atlantis183 by Jenseib, on Flickr Now Atlantis has several price points and different towers cost different prices. I believe the Beach Tower is the entry level and that building was much smaller looking (from the outside) than I had thought it would be. We never went in there. Next up would be Coral. Coral is pretty popular as it is closer to a lot of things and still at a lower price point. That being said, Atlantis is an expensive resort. atlantis184 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis185 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted May 5, 2016 Author #91 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The nice thing about Atlantis is a room with a view is not too hard to come by, no matter where you room is. atlantis190 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis191 by Jenseib, on Flickr bah37 by Jenseib, on Flickr What a view! bah38 by Jenseib, on Flickr Karen would point out some things too so we had a better lay of the land. atlantis192 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis193 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 5, 2016 Author #92 Share Posted May 5, 2016 atlantis194 by Jenseib, on Flickr I had my DSLR with me today and I could zoom in on different areas.

jenseib Posted May 5, 2016 Author #93 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Back inside the room Karen pointed out the mini fridge. atlantis200 by Jenseib, on Flickr We also chatted and asked some questions and then moved on. I wasn’t good about taking room number pictures but I believe this was the room we had just been in. atlantis201 by Jenseib, on Flickr And on we went. atlantis202 by Jenseib, on Flickr We headed down. Atlantis has monitors displaying flight information for people so they can check their flight info when needed. They also have a lounge for airport check in, etc. atlantis203 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis204 by Jenseib, on Flickr She took us down a flight of stairs to the lower level of the Coral Tower where Crush, the teen club is. This kiosk is where you sign the kids up. This has a cost. Also when signing up they have to have proof of age with a birth certificate and/or passport. atlantis205 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 5, 2016 Author #94 Share Posted May 5, 2016 She said this place is so cool and popular that adults wanted to come so now they have some times with adult/family activities and then select times for just the teens. atlantis206 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis207 by Jenseib, on Flickr From the kiosk we moosied down the hall towards the actual club, passing one of the many Starbucks. atlantis208 by Jenseib, on Flickr Karen went in a side door and said she would come around the front to let us in. atlantis209 by Jenseib, on Flickr This speedway is right next to Crush and you can design and build a car and then race it.

jenseib Posted May 5, 2016 Author #95 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Karen came around and opened the doors and we were let in the entryway. atlantis212 by Jenseib, on Flickr Brook then had another one of her coughing fits and we were all scrambling looking for water. Karen went off and stole a bottle from the Crush refreshment area and I believe Ellen had a bottle as well and soon Brook was under control again. It really was a bad coughing fit, but with a little water she was able to start breathing again. atlantis213 by Jenseib, on Flickr We moved around the club and Karen pointed out things and explained how it all worked. atlantis214 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis215 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis216 by Jenseib, on Flickr atlantis217 by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
