Some people like to research their vacation destination prior to leaving home like their vacation is a military expedition where all travel contingencies have been considered, plotted and preplanned.
river dinner cruise florida 1. Money My smartphone told me that the US dollar is just like money over there on those drops of emerald isles across the sea from Florida. There is a Bahamian dollar and Bahamian currency notes. The U.S. dollar is the more widely used currency. In fact, you do not want to have any Bahamian currency notes since they are instantly devalued once you leave the islands river dinner cruise florida and no longer river dinner cruise florida worth the same as U.S. dollars.
2. Hotel Taxis – New Providence, the island name for Nassau in the Bahamas is loaded with taxis at the hotel resorts. The good news is the rate for a taxi is relatively fixed on point to point locations. This means you will not watch the meter roll by dollar after dollar as you sit in the notorious traffic of Nassau at rush hour trying to get from the airport to Paradise Island.
I left Atlantis on Paradise Island on a Friday afternoon heading to the Cable Beach hotel area where the Sheraton, Wyndham and Sandals resorts are located. The set fare is $20. The taxi ride was nearly an hour to travel ten miles. I gave the woman $25 since she was so informative about life on the island. She also avoided a head-on crash when we rounded a bend next to the seawall river dinner cruise florida and only heard the fire engine siren at the last second as it was passing traffic in our lane. She drove off the road to avoid a head-on collision and didn't flip the van into a ditch.
river dinner cruise florida 3. Hotel Taxes – The hotel taxes and fees in the Bahamas are among the highest I have seen in the world. I can't figure out exactly what all the hotel taxes and fees are since I was master billed at the Atlantis Resort and did not get a receipt and I stayed on Cash Points at the Sheraton Nassau.
Insider Tip: Atlantis has the Aquaventure water park and guests staying at Atlantis receive complimentary admission river dinner cruise florida to the rides and pools. Day passes are $120/adult and $80/child up to 12 years . Guests of the Comfort Suites Paradise Island , literally across the street from the Atlantis Resort, also receive complimentary admission to Aquaventure. A couple can stay at Comfort Suites and possibly have a room and waterpark admission for less than the cost of day passes to the park.
4. The Cost of Food – eating is expensive in the Bahamas. Plan on spending $100 per day per adult if you are eating and drinking three meals a day. Grocery shopping at a local market can cut the food expense considerably.
I asked about Diners Club and I was told that I had a $20 credit. I spent 90 minutes in the lounge working on my computer and I finally got to try a Kalik Gold brand beer (7%) before leaving the Bahamas. Best of all was my Diners Club card membership provided lounge river dinner cruise florida access and one free beer.
Good tip on the Choice Suites and the Aquaventure river dinner cruise florida water park. Just be sure to note the Energy surcharge of $13.95/person/night (to pay for their green initiatives ?). They also add a $5/person/night housekeeping river dinner cruise florida gratuity. I prefer to tip based on how well I think they ve done, not be forced to pay a certain amount. I m assuming these are also charged on award stays.
Had to laugh at your first sentence about planning like a military expedition that s definitely me (for better or for worse) and probably the most humorous description I ve read about my researching tactics
One can pay a small additional fee to the taxi driver to stop at a local grocery store, run in and stock up on bottled waters river dinner cruise florida for $1-3 each. Especially if you are going to Atlantis-a liter at Atlantis costs $9.75; Hawaii is less expensive! I tried to book a room at Comfort Suites river dinner cruise florida for one night to get the pass admission river dinner cruise florida (I was in a cruise, so disn t really river dinner cruise florida need the room) but they had a minimum night stay-they know people try to do that and use the room for a lunch break or quick shower before going back to the ship.
For $20 more than the cost of a single day pass to the Atlantis water park, I can get a AAA rate Ocean View room for two at the lovely Marriott CasaMagna Cancun. Over the Thanksgiving holiday ! Including a delicious full, and I mean so full you won t need to eat until dinner, breakfast buffet. A Litre of Evian is less than a dollar at the shop across the street. If you must have a water park, the Wet and Wild in Cancun is 45/39 day, including unlimited food and drinks.
$8 for a bottle of water? Hotel taxes of over 35% on already super inflated river dinner cruise florida room prices? Whats the point of woking so hard to get free airline tickets if we just give our money away when we get there.
I was master billed at the Atlantis Resort and did not get a receipt Are you serious? You have no idea what you were charged river dinner cruise florida for. And if the charge on your card when you get home is more than you signed for, you have no proof of what you should have been billed? Why not just give them a signed check and let them fill in the amount later? I wouldn t settle for an unitemized river dinner cruise florida bill in the US, much less the Bahamas
@Robert Hanson I had no charges river dinner cruise florida on my credit river dinner cruise florida card for my Atlantis stay. The Carlson Rezidor conference included all the meals and I did not need to charge anything river dinner cruise florida to my room during the three day stay.
That was some sweet deal. You say the value of the free conference attendance was $875. Yet the lowest price I can find this time of year for a 3 day stay for one person, with breakfast and dinner plan and taxes, but no drinks, river dinner cruise florida is around $1,500.
@Robert Hanson the reason I said $875 is that is the number tossed out when I checked out. Another conference attendee told me extra nights were $209 + all the fees. She also said the rates were up to $500 for the week following the conference.
river dinner cruise florida The sweet deal on the rates is likely river dinner cruise florida due to the fact that the Carlson Rezidor Global Conference booked up about 1,500 hotel rooms at Atlantis and scheduled three large parties, one for each evening of the conference.
