Mebert Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Thanks Jeff, It those are very good ideas. It looks like I'll have a great time in Nassau and I'll let you know what I think of Freeport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari2 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 I know that if I go back to Nassau, I want to check out the Atlantis casino and hotel on Paradise Island that Jeff mentioned. The Regis and Kelly show was filmed there once, and it looked so beautiful. I think there may be a charge to check out the grounds, though, and it would probably be a lot of walking, but maybe you could rent one of those scooters for your cruisemate.

DaCruzNut Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Unfortunately, Shari, Atlantis has gotten like the rest of the Bahamas, hungry for the Yankee Dollar, and now charges $25.00, per person, just to walk around the grounds. That does NOT include use of ANY of the facilities; pool, beach, etc; While I have to admit that Atlantis is truly impressive (I visited before the charge was instituted...), I really don't think it's worth 25 bucks. Crystal Palace is still 'free.' Plus, I feel compelled to go to their Casino to visit my money... By the way, on Grand Bahama Island (Freeport) there's a beautiful attraction named Garden of the Groves... It's a 12 acre attraction, with cascading (man-made) waterfalls, botanical gardens, scenic trails, a petting zoo with animals and tropical birds to feed. It's owned, and operated, by Parrot Jungle, of Miami. The admission is $9.95 per person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mebert Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Thanks Shari and Jeff, Great ideas. This board is like have an online cruise director. I think I'll visit to Jeff's money but keep mine close to my side. Maybe some of my money will want to stay so I can visit the next time I reach the island.
