Hi,
We are booked on the 11/30 4 day Wonder cruise. Much to our dismay, this cruise stops in Freeport instead of a day at sea... Nassau is also not one of our favorite port of call.....
So, after reading these boards for awhile (thank you!) I booked a room at the Atlantis for the day we are in Nassau so we can take advantage of all the resort recreations facilities .. pool, beach, etc. This will run us about $230. for the day. 2 adults..no kids.
Questions:
For those of you who have done this before, was it worth it?
Is the aquarium included with the room, or is that still the extra $25. pp charge? (we did this in 2000)
Do you normally have to wait until after 4 to check into a room?
I assume you're allowed to use the pool, etc. immediately after check in, even if you don't have your room yet??
We've considered just staying on board..but the next day is Freeport, and we have less desire to go ashore that day..didn't know if 2 fulls days on board..but not at sea, was going to be something we would find enjoyable. (We're not into the spa treatments)
Does Freeport offer anything that is better than a day at the Atlantis on Nassau??
We might just end up doing what we did before..take a taxi to the Atlantis..walk around, see the casino and then go back to the ship to kill a few hours... We're banking on good weather to be able to enjoy the resort...and I don't know if that's such a good idea with a late November/Early December trip. Opinions??
thanks everyone! Appreciate your kind assistance!
