Battle 4 Atlantis 2019

[ImJustKCClone]

Bumping this thread for myself and any other fanatics going to this tourney. Curious to hear more from those who have been to Atlantis before on what to expect. My wife and I went to The Bahamas for our honeymoon, but we stayed at a Sandals resort on Great Exuma island (now infamously known as the host of Fyre Fest) so this is our first time in Nassau. Any tips on things to do or places to go outside of the resort? We are planning on going scuba diving at least one day (all of us are certified) and were looking for other excursion type of activities to partake in.

Jealous of the scuba outing. We hope to do some snorkeling, but my eyes don't tolerate much pressure due to weak blood vessels, so no scuba for me.

We will be staying at the Baha Mar for the tourney. Let me know if interested is arranging transportation together. Or please share if you know of a good way to get to Atlantis!

Hey I am about to setup my Airport Car Transfer and gonna ask about to and from Atlantis as well. Did you already set it up? How many people are in your party?

Also anyone looked into swimming with the pigs? Seems kinda pricey and it's not on the same island as Nassau.

went to Atlantis when I was 20. I drank the whole time on the resort so idk what to tell you to do/not to do.

the lazy river isnt so much lazy if i remember. it was a good time.

I think they have 2. 1 that is indeed, lazy. the other is like a mile+ with rapids and currents.

The excursions were all pricey, so watched the swimming pigs on You Tube.

Yes there are 2 different ones as you described. I too am happy not to leave the resort and I’m not sure there’s a lot to see on New Providence. Was staying on a boat one time and went out to Rose Island which was fun, but that wasn’t an excursion per se.

welp, if you can drink like a 20 year old then go for it.

I for one, can no longer drink like I did when i was 20

So we could potentially play Seton Hall or Southern Miss 2 times? Genius scheduling here.

 

[CoachHines3]

Here is what I'm rolling with:



we could play seton hall twice within 2 weeks

 

[CoachHines3]

my alternate scenario which would be nice to play 2 very good teams:

Iowa State didn’t really have a say in either case.

 

[SolarGarlic]

Getting to play Michigan and UNC in consecutive days would be neat. I'd like to get 1 decent win out of this and give one of the big boys a run.

S Miss would be for 7th place and our first win, if I read the brackets correctly

Or the Championship! Or 3rd. Or 5th. Or 7th. Whatever the scenario, the only possibility is the last game on Friday being a repeat.

I saw a lot of close calls with kids & even adults.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

Do y'all know if they sell day passes to Atlantis? Since I am not staying there but wanted to check out the lazy rivers
