Shay Shay Posted June 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hey everyone, it's my very first post on CC. My question is for those who have booked this excursion either through the cruise line or through another vendor. If I purchase the tickets privately and took a taxi to the water park, would I get there much quicker than the transportation through the cruise excursion? I know the park opens at 9:00 AM and I just need to know if the cruise transportation will get there by 9 or later (we dock at 8am) I would like to beat the crowds and get there as soon as the ship docks. I'm thinking that there would be a lot of waiting around for the cruise transportation, wasting valuable time. Am I correct in this? Thanks in advance.

mjkacmom Posted June 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've done it both ways, it was a little quicker on our own (20 minutes?). I'd decide based on cost. The larger slides don't open until 20, but you can secure a lounge and use the pools at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only 2 ships in port that day so hopefully it won't be so crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted June 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I think crowds have more to do with the time of year than with how many ships are on port. The last time we were there, all of the berths were full in Nassau, but the crowds at Atlantis weren't to too bad (early November). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums You can purchase them online through Atlantis, and there are other companies that sell them online as well. I just googled it and couple popped up.

LeeW Posted June 25, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Start booking the tour online with your cruise line. Excursion times will pop up. Typically they load you on a bus, take you over and then walk you through the park showing you where things are (like the Dolphin area). Certainly faster on your own and you might be able to stay longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubagirrl Posted August 3, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Can anyone confirm taxi cost to and from Atlantis? Shuttle is $4 pp. Aquapark doesn't open until 10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay Shay Posted August 4, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted August 4, 2017 So...I ended up purchasing passes through Bahamas Day Pass. They're only charging $129 per adult for off season days...after Aug 15th. The cruise line charges $189. I saved $60 a ticket. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
