Creator's Key Takeaways

Our cruise blog writer, Elizabeth, sailed on Margaretville at Seas Islander, and she was so impressed with the spacious suite, the quality of the dining options, the drink variety, and the laid-back vibe of the ship.

It wasn't a luxury voyage by any means, but for the price, Elizabeth said it definitely delivered on a lowcost, easygoing cruise getaway.

Haley commented that the ship made a lot of really good improvements and it was clear that Margaritaville was striving towards better onboard experience for its cruisers.

Most people have heard of cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Norwegian. However, did you know that the famous Margaritaville brand has a cruise line? Margaritaville at Sea is a relatively new player in the industry, having only launched its first ship in 2022. Paradise set sail in 2022 from Palm Beach, Florida, on quick 2-night sailings to the Bahamas. The brand expanded with the launch of a larger vessel, Islander, in 2024. This marked a major step forward for Margaritaville's cruise line, with better stateroom options, new dining venues, a redesigned beverage program, and more. They aren't showing any signs of slowing down either. Whether you're a loyal Parrot Head or just looking for an affordable escape to The Bahamas or Caribbean, here's everything you need to know about Margaritaville At Sea.
