scubagirrl Posted September 19, 2008 #27 Share Posted September 19, 2008 What are the rules governing check in? i see that check in time isn't until 3pm. I'd be arriving at 8am 10/7, so should i book the room for 10/6 and request a late check in or do they pretty much know that folks are there for the atlantis wrist bands? thanks! Staci You should book the day of your arrival. They let you check in anytime (they may not have your room ready, but they will give you your card so you can go to Atlantis. You can check out at the same time if you don't want to use the room at all. Saves a little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamelab Posted September 19, 2008 #29 Share Posted September 19, 2008 We will also be there on 10/7. The CS front desk told me the room may not be ready but we could check in, they would hold our bags in a sercurity room and give us what we need to get our wrist bands. We won't check out then because we'll be charging food at Atlantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicaletta Posted September 19, 2008 #30 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have been checking rates for Comfort in and it seems the least expensive for Nov is $239 before taxes and fees. Do the room rates tend to go up or down closer to the date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terisu10 Posted September 20, 2008 #31 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We are going on a cruise in November and wish to take the water ferry to Atlantis, go to the casino, and have lunch. Do we have to pay a fee just to use the casino? I was told to take a taxi back to the ship. What do the experts recommend? I have not been to the Bahamas in over 20 years - we usually cruise to the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fee you pay at the casino is your donations to the slot machines or tables which they gladly accept ! :D The water taxi drops you off near the Atlantis, but a few minutes of walking uphill to get there. We just always use a taxi both ways and get dropped off right at the entrance of the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaylebo35 Posted September 20, 2008 #37 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a new code we received in the mail from our ALFA insurance company. This code worked for us last night and we got a rate of $120 per night at the Comfort Suites in Nassau. The code is 00800590 . Just type it in where it says" Enter your special rate ID. You don't have to have ALFA insurance to use it. Enjoy!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelntreats Posted September 22, 2008 #46 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I was factoring in gratuity and did not know if that with fuel price increases would perhaps increase this costs thus my suggested range for two people in a taxi. Sorry if I confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark e b Posted September 26, 2008 #47 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Contacted phone number on web site to book a room on Dec 24 but was told 2 night min. Searched travel web sites (ie Orbitz, Hotels.com...) wanted about 500.00 for 1 night. Went back to Comfort suites web site and booked 1 night for 4 people for 300.00.

travelntreats Posted September 26, 2008 #48 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Did that price include the $14.00 p/p fee you pay at the hotel ? If not that runs the total up there and even at $75.00 p/p for use of the Atlantis... I just cant justify it for my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark e b Posted September 26, 2008 #49 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It appears not. But I only planned on doing 1 excursion during this cruise and both my sons (22 & 16) wanted to go to Alantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
