Creator's Key Takeaways

I tried the Islander and it was a night and day difference. It was amazing experience.

The staff are among the friendliest I've ever seen on any cruise line.

So, yes, it might be the worst rated cruise line. That's because their first ship, the Paradise, was really lacking...

If you haven't tried Margaritaville recently, especially the islander specifically, be sure to give it another shot.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Give Margaritaville Islander a try if you haven't recently.
✓Check out the kids club if traveling with family.
✓Be aware that free seating on the pool deck may be limited due to cabanas.

Low expectations due to poor reputation — The Islander has improved significantly; don't let old reviews deter you.
