Creator's Key Takeaways

we just got back from a really different kind of cruise at least for us

it was a nice weekend i want to especially call out the crew members though

if you're comparing that experience that you just saw that we just enjoyed to a normal cruise line there's no question it's not as polished

absolutely in fact if she was still sailing there's a chance i would do it again

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the all-inclusive excursion for a great value with drinks and food credit
Try the trapeze activity if available
Arrive early for disembarkation to avoid delays

YouTube Video Description

From exploring a smaller and older cruise ship and enjoying the beach to trying out a trapeze, we just got back from a very different cruise - one you will never take. We boarded Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line's Grand Classica on April 16 for her last voyage under that name, as she's being transformed into the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, the result of a partnership between Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, and Margaritaville. A month after filming this, we enjoyed the maiden voyage of Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, and links to those videos are below. But here, we check out the experience on this 30 year old cruise ship before her transformation. Be sure to stay to the end, too, and I’ll share my thoughts, including who this cruise was right for, and how I think the Margaritaville partnership will change that. 🔗Relevant Links🔗 Margaritaville at Sea Paradise Maiden Voyage - Day 1 ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juCXHqfodhY Margaritaville at Sea Paradise Maiden Voyage - Day 2 & Our Full Review ➡️ https://youtu.be/juCXHqfodhY Cabin Tour - Room 7169 on Margaritaville at Sea Paradise ➡️ https://youtu.be/Zuq3zi5EY00 Help us by getting travel planning assistance from the same people who plan our trips➡️ https://CruiseHabit.com/content/get-help-great-travel-agent Our Scheduled Cruises - Join Us or Follow Along➡️ https://www.cruisehabit.com/content/catch-us-high-seas-cruisehabit-onboard Margaritaville at Sea Cruise Preview & Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort Tour➡️ https://youtu.be/JveIdu12cVw Why I'm Excited About a 31 Year Old Ship: Margaritaville at Sea Paradise➡️ https://www.cruisehabit.com/why-im-excited-about-31-year-old-ship-margaritaville-sea-paradise Our Social Links➡️ https://bit.ly/m/cruisehabit/ Buy Me a Coffee➡️ https://www.buymeacoffee.com//cruisehabit Join us on Scarlet Lady➡️ https://VirginVoyagesGroupCruise.com Follow JTheNomad & The Shiplife➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaJShAUjVPJNn13j2B4AfEg & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC404kEt4oyD8CNsMU735dvg #cruise #cruiseship #bahamasparadise #grandclassica #margaritavilleatseaparadise #freeport #grandbahamaisland
