Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document a three day cruise aboard the Margaritaville at Sea ship to the Bahamas, noting the low ticket price of approximately thirty two dollars per day. They describe the atmosphere as highly social and relaxed, though they mention the ship is rough around the edges and lacks formal nights. The experience includes a room change due to noxious fumes, which the cruise line addressed by providing champagne and strawberries. Food reviews range from a disappointing breakfast buffet to a much better lunch buffet and surprisingly good tacos. One creator also receives a tattoo at the onboard tattoo parlor. During their stop in Nassau, they explore the local architecture and beaches before returning to the ship to find the hot tubs crowded and cold. The creators conclude by revealing that the final cost reached four hundred twenty eight dollars after accounting for mandatory gratuities, fuel supplements, and personal extras, leading them to decide that while the trip was a memorable and chaotic blast, it would be their last time on this specific cruise line.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We danced for so long we shut down the bar. I've never seen that before on a cruise.

This cruise is about hunkering down and drinking margaritas.

It added up fast. So, I mean, we knew we were going to owe some because of what we've done, but that fuel and tip thing is a bit of the old bait and switch.
