Creator's Key Takeaways

She's old. Pretty old. So, the Islander launched in 2000 as the Costa Atlantica.

Our cabin was beautiful. It was so nice.

I wish I had known that the casino on board Margaritaville at Sea is cash only.

I wish I had known literally nobody else got the memo. Um, or were just going to be boring.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring cash for the casino as it is cash only and cannot be charged to your room.
Check for themed nights in advance as information may not be readily available.
