Until I read Daryn's post, I thought I was the only person at Atlantis last year whose cell phone worked. I have T-Mobile also, and use a HP IPAQ phone. My wife's cell phone, also on T-Mobile, did not work. Also, the calls I made were about $3/minute, as the Bahamian cell company rips you off. If you're desperate for a cell phone, it might be cheaper to rent a local phone during the trip.

no, coral is where the action happens.

i upgraded to royal last year and got a room at the very back end of the building overlooking the construction work.

stick with a room in the coral imo, you're way closer to most of the stuff you will be interested in.
