I'm not sure I know the answer to your question 100% but my friends and I rented a room at the Comfort Inn in August so we could get the wristbands to the Atlantis. The Comfort Inn gave us something to take ( I can't exactly remember what it was though) to the towel stand near a pool at the Atlantis and they put the wristbands on each one of our arms. The price for 4 adult passes was about 78.00 a piece vs. $155.00 per person booking through the ship.
