Possible to do Atlantis before 1:30 pm Dolphin Swim?

[stitchfansmom]

We are booked to do the Dolphin Swim in Nassau at 1:30 pm. However, DS is a nature fanatic and would love to see the aquariums and exhibits at Atlantis. So my question is, might we have enough time to visit Atlantis prior to (or even after) the Dolphin Swim? From the Atlantis hotel website, it appears possible to buy tickets to visit the aquariums/exhibits only, and if we didn't have time to go back to the ship for lunch presumably we could get a quick lunch there from a snack bar or whatever. Any thoughts?

My DD's and I did the 1:30 PM Dolphin swim, and we got back to the ship about 4:55 pm, barely enough time to get ready for dinner. The last boat left Blue Lagoon at 4 PM, but made a stop at Paradise Island before docking near the ship, so this made for the extra time it took. We also did the Blue Lagoon excursion along with our swim because we wanted to have a whole day at the beach, too, so I am not sure if you would have time to see Atlantis and make it to the Dolphin Swim. I know I got my info on the swim from Dave's web sight, so he may be able to answer that question.

We went to Atlantis quite early and did the exhibits/aquarium (very expensive - ~$25 each). It doesn't take a real long time to go through. We have been to many aquariums that are much better, though, and won't do this one again. It was fun once. On the other hand, the grounds are lovely, of course, and the gambling fun .

Food was VERY expensive - we just went back to the boat to eat. Maybe you could order room service the night before and take a "bag lunch" with you!
