Atlantis - using the Comfort Suites "trick" - it works! :)

Same day one night bookings will not have access to Atlantis amenities. Advanced booking is required.

Could this mean that those cruise ship passengers that book a room on the day they visit? Same day?

I visit Atlantis annually. I interpret the 'same day one night' thing to apply to day visitors who book a room instead of buy a day pass. I think they'll honor a one night reservation that was booked in advance. Go ahead and call them and ask....its no secret that people do this, and they have two-night minimums at times of the year when they want keep the rooms available for overnight guests.

Atlantis probably as this policy for two reasons 1) so people don't book a room with Marriott points the morning a ship docks and 2) prevent AirBnB and Bahamar visitors from booking a room instead of buying a day-pass. Atlantis had (had) a policy to only sell day passes to cruisers and guests from select hotels in Nassau, so this policy might close a loophole people were exploiting.

I would be too afraid to get there and have to pay the numerous extra BS fees that some have had to pay, but then some have not?

This is mainly a problem with third party booking websites (that hide the fees so they can look cheaper and get a commission). If you book directly with Atlantis, all the taxes and fees will be clearly disclosed on the final payment page.
