Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a first for us. First time on this ship, first time sailing with Margaritaville at Sea and first time traveling out of Tampa, cruising out of Tampa.

Getting on the ship here in uh Tampa was super super smooth, super easy.

I'm definitely giving it a two thumbs up.

The service was awesome. The food was awesome. I loved it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Bring your own hangers or ask for more, as cabins have limited hangers.
✓Use the Faster Chill program for express check-in and priority services.
✓Keep track of your spending folio, as there's no app for it.
