Creator's Key Takeaways
This is the worst-rated cruise ship, a one-star cruise ship, and maybe even the cheapest cruise ship that you can find.
We last sailed the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise back in 2023. And while we did enjoy the vibe of the ship, we had some serious issues boarding and then primarily no bathroom. Bad plumbing.
It feels cleaner if that makes any sense. [clears throat] and it smells fresh. It does smell fresh, yes.
This is the best drink I've had on one of the Margaritaville ships.
