The first stop of the cruise was Nassau, Bahamas. Did a walking tour on our own. One of the girls in the group had done this itinerary before and knew her way around the port. Walked through the port shops and into town. Strolled through some shops off the main path. After an hour of shopping we haggled with a taxi driver to take us to Paradise Island and to Atlantis. 
Insider Tip: Once you cross over the bridge onto P.I. go to the right and stop at the Green Parrot for a drink and a snack. On a Tuesday afternoon, we had the entire bar and patio to ourselves. In typical island fashion, it took a few minutes for someone to come out and ask what we wanted, but hey, you're on vacation. It was a nice little area with a few good sized boats and a couple of larger Yachts. After about an hour or so we walked over to Atlantis. Not far, I would guess a 1/2 mile or so. Walked right in the front door and through the entry as if we owned the place. 
Once in Atlantis we broke up the group and went our separate ways. I headed toward the casino area and out back where the aquarium was. The rest went shopping. After 20 minutes, er, I mean dollars in the casino... I decided to do some exploring. Security decided for me that it wasn't a good idea. Started to walk out toward the water park area but was stopped and asked for a room key. Oops, sorry sir. Just visiting. I later found out it costs over $100 for a single adult pass to access the water parks and use the facilities. Oh, and don't ask for a drink from the bar if you don't have a credit card or are a guest. Apparently cash is no good at Atlantis. Yes, you can buy a drink at the bar, but need to us a cc or charge it to a room. Oh, well. I didn't want a $10 beer anyway.
