Creator's Key Takeaways

I took a cruise with Margaritaville at Sea onboard Paradise which is this Cruise Line's first and therefore original cruise ship

I have to say that I disagree with most of the really negative reviews that you're finding online

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the luggage policy before sailing, as items over 50 lbs are not allowed
Bring a jumper for the dueling piano venue, as it can be cold

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin location near gangwayBe aware that cabin 5532 is beside the gangway, which may cause noise when moving
Ship condition and negative reviewsDisagree with most negative reviews; ship is not as bad as portrayed, but some areas need work
