Margaritaville at Sea Islander: Better or Worse Six Months After Launch? | Cruise Review

Description from YouTube

Margaritaville at Sea invited us back on board their new flagship cruise ship Islander 6 months post launch. We sailed back-to-back cruises in December of 2024 and are excited to see how the operation has evolved. We also captured changes the cruise line implemented post the inaugural cruise. Similar to when we first sailed Margaritaville at Sea Islander back in June, we take a look at the things we loved, the things we didn't love, and what we hated. For this video, we didn't go into the same detail as we did in our original review (if something didn't change, we didn't cover it here), so we highly recommend you check that out as well to get an in-depth view of the entire experience: https://youtu.be/5UYbG-Cf9nM For our December sailing, we were booked into a Breezy Balcony. Upon checking in at the terminal, we discovered we were upgraded to a Grand Terrace Suite! Check out the room tour we recorded: https://youtu.be/2MnbOVXjliQ We met some amazing people - both passengers and crew - during our back-to-back sailings on the Islander. In fact, we posted a recognition blog post to our website celebrating the crew that made our cruise extra special.
