Creator's Key Takeaways

if you can snag their $49 or $99 per person rates for two or three nights it's a great deal for a short Cruise

we were not happy to see this surprise $135 charge at the end of the cruise

the food here however was pretty good overall

the paradise had character pretty good food for the main dining dinners along with enjoyable performances

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book directly on Margaritaville's website for the best rates
Factor in transportation costs from Fort Lauderdale or Miami to the Port of Palm Beach
Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper due to noise isolation issues
Arrive early for dinner at the main dining room to avoid long waits
Consider bringing your own paddles and balls for the pickleball court
