Atlantis but *NOT* Aquaventure?

[Avatar345]

I've heard that you can wander around Atlantis and check out the aquarium etc, and so long as you're not doing Aquaventure, it's free - would love to hear people's insights into whether that's a) true, and b) worth the trip over to Atlantis to do? :)

 

We're in port for like five hours the day we're there, and I just don't think that will be long enough to justify an actual pass to the water park

Sorry.

You can access the high end shops and casino and outside Marina Village (shops and food),  but you can’t get to the lobby or aquarium. They have “hall monitors” checking ID’s when the cruise ships are in.

Nope, casino and marina shops, security checks for wristbands.

Hmmm, well that's unfortunate - ok then so would you think that for a 7:00am to 2:00pm docking period that it would be worth it to go?

We watched a video on youtube that showed everything you could do at Atlantis for free...  You may find that of interest.

Nope.

Wandering between shops or gambling are not my ideas of a foreign country experience. They’re more about just killing time.

I just watched one - and clearly they were wearing wristbands.

And be careful. Not all the videos are accurate. 
One, titled “Free things to do at Atlantis on a port day” clearly shows areas beyond security that day trippers cannot access without paying big bucks.
