Atlantis Discovery Tour - Yes or No?

Cruising to Nassau for first time on Royal Caribbean next week and need suggestions for excursions. The cruise ship will dock around 8am and depart at 9pm so I figured our core activity hours would be between 10am and 6pm.

We are party of 5( 3 adults and 2 kids) One of the adult is 60+ and Kids are 3 and < 1.

Royal Caribbean is charging $49 per person to Atlantis Discovery Tour - Is that worth it (~$250) or should we head to local attractions? I understand we may have to pay additional for Taxi to/fro from any destination.

Being it's our first time in Nassau, is the Atlantis tour a must or nice to do? We probably aren't into any adventure related activities given the kids.

Is lunch/drink expensive around Nassau? Not sure if we can carry/pack our lunch or expect to pay for it.

I believe that gives you access to the aquarium, not the beach or pools. You can’t take unpacked food off of the ship, I don’t think you will find much cheap food - food at Atlantis is very expensive.

Perfectly fine not having access to beach /pools. Is it still worth to pay to see the Aquarium?

Price it out doing it on your own, the adults are $46, kids under 4 are free, regular taxi or water taxi $4 pp.

How easy is it to just go to the casino at Atlantis?

Very easy, there will be cabs lined up to take you.

11/21 Update: We just came back from the Atlantis Discovery Tour.

If you have EVER been to an Aquarium, skip this tour and save yourself $49 per person. Just not worth it.

Do you feel this tour would be OK to do with a baby in a stroller? I wasn't sure if there were a lot of steps that would make it difficult with the stroller. Thanks for any info

Yes, perfectly fine. For strollers, you'll have to use elevators rather than steps but the tour guide will wait for you so you can re-join the group. the elevators are pretty close to steps.

Can I ask why you don’t recommend it? We were considering doing this with our five-year-old who complains about walking so was thinking about taking a small umbrella stroller but now wondering why it’s not worth it ?

Just got back from Nassau. Had a unexpected overnight stay. Took a cab to Atlantis for $4 per person. Walked thru the shops, went thru a large aquarium for free and walked the awesome marina and shops. Was an awesome time. Won $375 in the Casino. No need to take a tour. You can do a lot on your own

During the day, you can only go to the casino and marina shops. They have security.

Just to make sure I understand correctly because we also want to just see the aquarium. You can just pay to get in the aquarium. You don't have to buy a day pass for anything else. TIA
