hi there,
i will be going on the dawn on julyy 25 w/my family. one of our ports is nassau, bahamas and i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to excursions? it doesn't look like we are docked very long, so i was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do. i will have my 16 mo old son w/me, so i don't want to do anything to involved. as for the atlantis...if you go w/the excursion i have heard you don't really get to see the whole hotel...is this true? is it really worth it? has anyone gone to atlantis on their own? if so what is there to do? a tour? and how did you go about it?
thanks
gina

We've always gone over to Atlantis (it's on Paradise Island) on our own. You can take a cab or a water taxi from the pier. We enjoy viewing the wonderful aquarium (for free) in the lobby, and walking out on the terraces. I'm sure your son would enjoy seeing all the fishies. If you want to take the tour, which includes the "dig", it'll cost you about $25 p.p. We usually end up in their beautiful casino, but I suppose that won't be on your itinerary. Enjoy!

thanks so much! i think we may spring for the $25, since like you said we will not be able to go to the casino

thanks,
