Atlantis 2018

Atlantis seems like the rage with families!

Alex and I thought it would be interesting to check out, so we opted to spend our day in Nassau there. 

We'd been to Nassau several times before, so we were ready to try out something new!

We took what looked like a taxi bus there. 

I was one of the last people on, so I got to hop up and sit on the left-hand side beside the driver!

We made it to the resort around 10 am. 

It was super quiet and sparse at the beginning of the day. 

We ventured around to explore and get our bearings set. 

Watching another cruise ship head to port!

After exploring we set our things down and went to the rocky river. 

The water was super cold, so I was a bit anxious for the ride. 

It was super fun, and I maybe wish we had gone on it again!

It's just like a lazy river, but there are rapids that push you along. 

Sometimes you end up nearly right on top of someone else. 

Alex and I opted for two individual tubes, and I wish we had a double one together.

I'm not going to lie, I got real freaked out by the water slides. 

After waiting in line and hearing little kids scream I opted out of all but one. 

I went down the one that takes you into an aquarium where you can see sharks and fish right beside you. 

It was a neat slide. 

Its a tube slide, so Alex and I got to go together. 

There are sharp twists and turns at first, and then you drop down into the aquarium where you go super slow before finishing out the slide. 

The line wasn't too long, so we did that one, and then I chickened out for the rest!!

The only problem we had was that we couldn't use our phones, so when Alex went on a slide I had to try to find the exit. 

The exit was rarely near the entrance. 

One time we had to resort back to our meeting spot and wait on each other there because we just couldn't find one another. 

We spent the afternoon falling in and out of sleep right here!

We stayed as long as we could and then headed back to our shuttle!

The middle of the day was super packed. 

I think there were 5 cruise ships there that day. 

Everyone says it's much nicer in the morning and the evening because there's simply not that many people there!

We made it back to the ship and were ready to depart!

We love traveling, so this was a great way to break up Christmas break. 

In the future I would opt to not travel until December 27 or preferably 28. 

This would allow us to enjoy Christmas dinner leftovers and not be so rushed. 

I, also, was so surprised with how cold the ocean water was. 

If we were going on another tropical location, I think I would opt for Mexico or another island because the water temperature just seemed too cold for me.

The drink package on Norwegian was great for our friends. 

I'm really not much of a drinker, so the drinks don't really tell me anything. 

I'm still a Royal Caribbean girl!

Royal is my favorite!

I'm anticipating booking our summer cruise on Princess this week!
I'm super excited to see what Princess has to offer and see where it ranks in my personal cruise line ranking!
