On Nassau, we didn’t book a shore excursion, so we ran the gamut of hair braiders and taxi drivers to walk into town and do some shopping, we found some nice things at decent prices. Then we found a water ferry over to Paradise Island to see the Atlantis resort and try to find a beach. The water taxi was $4 apiece, they provided a man who gave a running commentary with tourist information, he asked to be tipped on the way off of the boat. We toured the Atlantis casino, it looked like any other casino, but the impressive resort have their own aquarium and lagoon/ swimming area. However, they allow only their guests into most of the resort, we got run off of the back patio when we were trying to find our way out. We walked down a block or so and entered the public beach area just past the Sheraton. The surf was pretty high and was almost scary with my youngest as she would get knocked down and had a hard time getting back up. We used the Sheraton showers to clean off most of the sand and seawater, then caught a taxi back to the ship from the front of the hotel. My 13 year old DD wanted to add the evening shore excursion, the Teen Junkaroo, and we were able to sign her up at Common Grounds, they met and left the ship at 7pm to take a Party boat on a sail around Paradise Island, she had a blast.
