Torrential Visit To Atlantis
From Disney Cruise I in Nassau, The Bahamas on Dec 31 '99
Our ship stopped in Naussau, Bahamas to torrential rains. We were told of lovely jewelry shops, adventurous excursions and lovely baskets. We were piled into a van, 10 people over capacity and hydroplaned our way to the Atlantis resort. On the way, I saw boarded up buildings and empty shops. Granted, there had been a hurricane not long before our visit, but it wasn't the paradise I had envisioned. Atlantis was neat. There were a few high end shops at the entrance. I stumbled upon a Versace pink studded purse I just had to know the price on...5 the saleslady told me. Hmmm...$500? $5,000. I decided if I won a million dollars in the casino I would buy it. I perused the tables and found my favorite "Let It Ride", I may be an amateur, but I am used to paying $15 a hand, not $50....I rode on...I was unable to access most of Atlantis because I was not a guest. I was not impressed. We were told there would be transportation from the casino to our boat and loaded 700 people into another van. We were dropped off at a dock. We had to then board a boat to reach our boat. Of course, all the while it was $2 here, $2 there for this transportation. I had a very different picture of paradise.
