Re: Floating v. Fixed? (by Gail R.):

We have a floating week 7 with a fixed unit(?). One of the original who are in building 7, facing Atlantis and slip 21. We have found it difficult to get some time in October, only to arrive after purchasing hotel rooms AND to find that there WERE units available. This might be the reason for the tightening up, where you need to commit a bit sooner. That being said, we have been very pleased with our purchase...BUT also pleased that our youngest will be graduating from HS this year, making Feb vacation a moot point. Will be visiting at other times, a party of 2(perhaps other adults would be ok). As for the savings involved in a timeshare rental vs any other option for Atlantis...OBVIOUSly the food. While the dining options at the resort are fabulous, they are extremely costly. Eating breakfast in, and preparing(and taking lunch) alone can save 100's per day. Discovering off property dining options can slice a chunk off the bottom line as well. We generally do not prepare our own dinner, as this IS a vacation. My recent favorite discovery was Columbus Tavern. Have yet to try the fish fry though. Some of the family members need more convincing!!! LOVE Poop Deck... Would love discussion...talk to me!!
