We did purchase the night at comfort suites. We paid $360 total. $90 pp..much cheaper than what DCL wanted for just the aquaventure!Did you already purchase the day pass? Purchasing a "night" at the Comfort Suites (you get full access to Atlantis) is cheaper than buying a day pass to Atlantis.
Thank you. Very good tips!Get there ASAP, secure loungers and lockers, get a map, you can use the pools and small slides at 9, big slides open at 10. Do those first, then the unlazy river. If the ocean is tough, head left. Buy water from guys before getting into a taxi - much cheaper than Atlantis. And eat a big breakfast, food there is crazy expensive! We save the Digs for he way out.
There have been multiple reports that Atlantis has changed things, and there is now just one place where people get on and off the Aquaventure river system. According to what I’ve read, people are required to get out of their tubes at this particular place and then get in a line to get back in the river. Not sure if this is a permanent change or a test, but its something for the OP to be aware of. But it would make tube hoarding thing moot.People will hoard tubes

PS…I had a thread about this a year ago, and the hoarding mostly happens on days when there’s a Disney ship in port: Why do Disney Cruisers Horde Tubes at Atlantis?
Probably for the same reason they leave a towel on a chair on the pool deck all day but never actually sit in the chair!There have been multiple reports that Atlantis has changed things, and there is now just one place where people get on and off the Aquaventure river system.

Yep. Our last cruise was a 4 day. On our sea day we had tickets for dd to get photos with Anna and Elsa. By the time we hit the pool deck around 9:45 am there were no chairs. But 80% of the chairs were empty!You don't know how irritating it was for me on my last cruise to see 3/4th of the chairs by the pool empty with towels, but no empty chair without towels and sitting on the ground to watch my kids at the pool because there was not chair. I have heard of some places instituting a 20 minute rule that towels are removed after 20 minutes of no one there -- how refreshing.
