Additional details

Sail Date: Oct 2013
Traveled with children

We were a group of 4 woman with a 13 yr old and 9 yr old. We booked Atlantis and the short of it for me is yes the kids enjoyed it, but you don't get there till at least 1pm. Your standing in line once off the ship to get on the bus that took a 1/2 hr at least. Then have a 1/2 hr walk from the front door of Atlantis to the water park. You've already been on your feet a lot the day before, and the night you sail....and you have that same walk back. to be picked up.It's $150 for 1 adult 1 kid for 5 hrs and one of them is walking in and out. The straw market near the ship closes up at 6 so you have no time for that and no time to just explore Nassau. The general consenses of my group was we would have liked to have explored Nassau a little, the straw market is not that great, maybe go to the art museum, Senor Frogs Resturant, but mostly to have had time spend at the beach in Nassau and maybe do some snorkeling. (More about snorkeling to come.)By the time we got back to the ship after Atlantis we were pretty exhausted. I don't recommend it. We could of saved $450 and had a more relaxed time not rushing to get to everything.

We all felt like we did not have enough time to enjoy and explore the ship. The next day was Coco Cay again we were just too exhausted from Atlantis and the tight schedule and all the walking that we did not want to rush off to Coco Cay. We got there about 12:00. Our kids wanted their hair braided, then we realized lunch, (The barbeque), was ending at 1:30.(Don't miss it because it the best food your going get the entire cruise, it was really good.

We had signed the kids up for the Aqua Park Play area and slide for one hour 2-3, so again had to rush off from lunch find and get to that and it was nothing to write home about. Our kids barely wanted to do it. If anything they liked the slide and you can get that unlimited for I think $12, without the Aqua Park. The aqua park was almost empty it was not like there were a bunch of kids playing because they rent it by the hour.. If choosing the slide know that it is a walk away from the main area if you feel you have to go with your children, you'll have to leave where you are set up at the beach.
