St Thomas - Atlantis Sub morning? Coral World afternoon?

[imgoingtodisney]

Can these both be done on the same day? DH wants Atlantis sub and I would like to take DS to Coral World. DS wants both.

I respectfully suggest you don't try to do this even if it's feasible. This is your vacation. Relax and enjoy it. Trying to fit both of those excursions into one day would be very stressful.

Punt the sub. Take a taxi to Coral World. Relax and enjoy Coki Beach. You'll enjoy it, I promise.

I did tell him the idea of DS and I going to the Sea & See while he gambles on St Marten. He really wants to do the sub also though.
How about if I give the idea of him gambling in the morn and we all do the Sea & See on St Marten in the afternoon. Would that be easier?

Trust us, take him to Coral World, and he'll forget about the sub altogether! It's much more interactive than Sea World or the like. I've been to CW and taken the See & Sea on St Maarten. The boat is NOT a glass bottom, it's more like an aquarium bottom you sit in. The walls are all windows to look out and you're going to see a lot more than the sub will show you.

This is a view of the boats used for the See & Sea

And this is the kind of stuff you'll see at Coral World!

After looking up and down the board, you have lots of questions on planning these excursions, Imgoingtodisney!

Besides the literature, Here's a website on Coral World:

Now, it's pretty far from the ship, and I really don't think you should try to squeeze in CW and time on a beach and time shopping and the sub. I agree with Dave, with previously seeing pics from the sub, you're not missing out much. We used up our day between CW and the island tour and shopping and doing the tramway, which the shopping and tramway are right at the port. Now, we had an unusual situation, as there was some kind of big funeral that was tying up half the roads between CW and the port, so it took us longer. But still, don't rush too much, you'll miss out on some of the fun that way.

Now, about the casinoing on St Maarten, we did the See & Sea tour right off the ship when it docked, and we had LOTS of time to kill even after shopping and doing some casino visiting, so I wouldn't worry too much there, you'll have time for what you're suggesting without any rushing around.
