Creator's Key Takeaways

The food, I think, was more consistently decent on the Margaritavville than it was when we were on the Carnival Vista last summer.

It was a good relaxing time. It was the least stressful cruise.

We absolutely would cruise on Margaritaville. Without a doubt.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring walkie-talkies for communication as there is no app.
Be prepared for old-school muster drills and potential long lines during embarkation in hot weather.
If you need an extension cord for a CPAP, know that they will be confiscated but a longer one will be provided.
Watch your step on the ship due to unusual inclines and declines, especially in the theater.
Consider getting a blender drink package to save money if you don't have a drink package.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Rough seas causing discomfort.Be prepared with motion sickness remedies; the ship can handle swells but it may be rocky.
Limited food variety and spicy options.If you prefer non-spicy food, you may need to request modifications; the food is good but not highly varied.
Lack of activities for kids and potential misbehavior.The ship is more laid-back with fewer structured activities; parents should supervise children.
