Creator's Key Takeaways

I tried Margaritaville at sea's newest ship, Islander, for a 5-night Caribbean cruise.

Despite a messy imbarcation and disappointing technology, I was really impressed overall.

I would know since I've been on more than 50 cruises and experienced most of the major North American lines over the last couple years.

I really enjoyed my cruise on the island overall and would definitely sail on her again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask your stateateroom attendant for a cozy robe.
βœ“Order room service breakfast the night before using the door card.
βœ“Consider booking if you want a fun, laid-back atmosphere without crowds or nickel and dimming.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Technology reliability β€” Don't book if staying connected on sea days is important to you.
Ship age and layout β€” The ship is 25 years old but mostly updated; better signage would help orientation.
