Disney Dream, April 24-28, 2017, 4-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral

[Theresa35]

HI THERESA,
I also have been trying to find out about this FE group. But I think we have been abandoned, outuq86 has been posting on April 17. 2017 cruise. What I have done is write done all the cabins listed on here and I am buying gifts for all. Went to facebook and it is to late to get into a group on there. So I will be giving my gifts to the cabins that are listed plus getting gifts for my grandchildren. I just want them to experience the giving gifts to people you don't know. Your family will be on my list! Either way it will be An Awesome Cruise!

It's disappointing if we have been abandoned. However I'm planning to do the same as you and plan for the people who responded above. You and your family will be on our list as well. Can't wait!! Only 50 days left to go!!!

I believe the Facebook group is going to add on one more group for late comers. We just discussed it tonight, so give it another try there!

This will be our 4th Disney Dream cruise! Should be fun! We do a cabana at Atlantis we are skipping the dolphins this year though! Takes a lot of the day! And a cabana on cc

Is Atlantis worth it/easy to get to? This is our first, and gotta admit with all the advisories about Nassau I'm a bit nervous, but we are considering heading over (not sure how many slides we will get to hit having a 4 year old), but we may just jump off the ship for an hour or two then head right back on and spend the day aboard.

We love atlantis and I just make sure none of us get away from the group being transported there... I have never felt unsafe... although I do hold on to my daughter with a death grip LOL If you have never seen Atlantis you should at least one time! your welcome to check out my FB pictures but I will need to add you as they are set to private

I went with my wife like 10 years ago but it was December and was freezing so we didn't do a whole lot in the pools (mainly walked the beach a little and went to the shops/aquarium). I can't make a decision to save my life on this.

what else are you looking to do in Nassau??

 

[Brent Bosco]

They do have a really nice kids area in Atlantis. Google it and pics will come up!

Copying this from another thread:

There's quite a bit the under-48 inch-ers can do at Aquaventure. Kids under 48 can ride in double tubes with a parent on the wavy/rapids river system:

There's two great kids pool with smaller slides:

Plus the lazy-Lazy River:

And a few great beaches.

I've been visiting Atlantis nearly annually for 16+, including when my kids were infants and toddlers. This might be the first year that both are over 48, though we're cutting it close with my younger.

Which is long way of saying that if you want to do Atlantis, there's plenty for all ages to enjoy.

All I really care about in Nasssau is some Conch Fritters. I may do the book the Comfort Suites thing and head over, you guys are definitely convincing me that is probably a good idea.
