Michigan Cruisers Posted January 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 19, 2015 We did it and you basically check in and they give you armbands. We Never even got a room key or anything because we just wanted the access to the Atlantis. It was much cheaper than the ship excursion and with a can we got there before anyone else from the ship Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessaraye Posted January 19, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted January 19, 2015 So there's no extra fee for the bands?! Do you get 4 bands per room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turning40withMickey Posted January 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Four bands if you book a room for four. There are lots of fees added to the room cost! There are details on the Bahamas board (ports of call section) You can google "Comfort Inn Nassau" to get to their website to do a mock booking and see the exact cost for yourself and read about all the added fees to the initial room cost. You will need to take a taxi there and back, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter14 Posted January 19, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I did it last Aug! My family of 4- saved $700 versus ( we did have a military discount) buying from Carnival. They give you your armbands and room key ( if you choose) and you are off. We actually checked in and checked out at the same time.

tikib Posted January 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The base rate at Comfort Suites is for 2 adults. You can add up to 2 add'l persons to the reservation for a total of 4 per room. Add'l fees apply to added people ($40 per adult). There are taxes, fees, gratuities and VAT applied as well. (see CS website) All guest my appear at the front desk for check in. They will be given a card to be taken to Atlantis to get their wristbands (they are not given out at Comfort Suites). Each guest will get their wristband attached by Atlantis staff. You don't get the wristbands to put on yourself or share. You are only given bands for each PAID guests. Atlantis is cashless, so take a credit card.

erk711 Posted February 1, 2015 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I assume if you do this the hotel 3pm check in time does not apply? Will they do 'check in' if you show up at 10am as we only want access to Atlantis? Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got there before 9, as Atlantis is huge, and we wanted to check in, get our wristbands from Atlantis, and secure some chairs before 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzyrn89 Posted February 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Someone told us that you can get a room there and you get armbands to Atlantis with the room?! Has anyone done this and can clarify all the details. TIA we are doing this for our july cruise, we have 6 people going so we have to book 2 rooms, we will have 2 extra armbands left I'm trying to see if anyone wants to split the cost of the 2nd room and take the 2 extra armbands, essentially getting the pass for atlantis for $72 each....we are so excited to go there, the kids love to watch the commercials about it on Cartoon Network!

You won't have 2 eXtra armbands unless you pay for 2 additional people in the room ($40 per extra adult, plus all the taxes, vat, mandatory gratuities and other fees connected with the rate. Those 2 people would have to check in with you at the hotel, and go with you to Atlantis to get the passes put on their arm. They do not give out passes. You have to go in person to have them attached. You won't be able to say you have 2 extra kids and not pay for adults, since the card will indicate the number and type of guests.

Have fun. Thanks for the info on how the cards work, and use of Comfort Suites. We have never been to Atlantis and are really looking forward to it. That was one of the easy islands to plan for on this curise. Have never been to Tortola so that one was tough to plan with kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUIS4ME Posted August 5, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Does the pass include all the facilities at Atlantis? I haven't been but would like to go. The ship's excursion is $72 and says it does not include the waterpark.....so I guess there is the beach, beach activities, waterpark....and an aquarium? Just curious again what the arm bands get us into. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do NOT have access to Cove and Reef Pools and beaches, especially CAIN pool which is the adults only pool / outdoor casino that is for COVE towers guests only. Waterpark, Main Beaches, DIGS, Most Pools and lagoons are part of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUIS4ME Posted August 5, 2015 #20 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thank you very much for clarifying. I think my expectations would be to do the water slides...see the aquarium...and relax. I think we will go! thanks for answering so quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapchap Posted August 7, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) How soon do they open up reservations? We don't cruise until June 2016, but those dates aren't available yet and when I try to do a mock res., I'm getting a message that there's no availability. :eek: Edited August 7, 2015 by chapchap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneal326 Posted August 7, 2015 #22 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Does anyone know if I'm ok with the check in date being the day we are in port? Or do I need the day before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubagirrl Posted August 8, 2015 #23 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Does anyone know if I'm ok with the check in date being the day we are in port? Or do I need the day before? Book The day you are arriving in port. You can check in early and get your card to get into Atlantis to pick up passes. You're room won't be ready until 3pm, but you won't need it. Pools open at 9am, waterpark opens at 10am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
