Tell me the difference between taking...

[DeeMarch]

the Atlantis excursion

or

going on your own?

With the excursion you cannot use any of their pools or waterslides. And, the cost per person might actually be cheaper depending on the time of year you book.

Actually I have read that you can stay at other properties on Paradise Island, get a day room, and have full access to the Atlantis pools and waterslides.

I would check out the Comfort Suites via this website: http://www.nassauparadiseisland.com/

I am positive people have made "day room" reservations, paid considerably less than staying at Atlantis, and had full-access to the property.

Good Luck,

I was just browsing through here thinking about a Disney cruise and found your post. I just came off the RCCL Navigator of the Seas on Saturday and did the Atlantis excursion through that line. It was my only complaint of the week. I thought it was a total waste of money. I think we paid $50 and adult and $30 for each kid. When you get to the Bahamas and come off the pier - if you walk towards the tent market you will see boats that take you over to Atlantis for $6 round trip. From there we still walked a few blocks to Atlantis - there are signs to follow. Then into the hotel - cut through the casino and into the main lobby. I don't know anything about Disney's excursion there, but with RC you couldn't use the pools anyway.
