Creator's Key Takeaways
I would not hesitate to go back on the ship again. I know I I even know that Alice will go back with me.
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 so not stressful getting on. We just got on, we ate and chilled out.

We’re sharing our first-time experience sailing on Margaritaville at Sea, specifically aboard the Islander. This was a five-day cruise to Progreso, Mexico, and Cozumel, Mexico, and our first time cruising with Margaritaville at Sea. In this live, we’ll talk through the ship itself, the overall layout, dining options and venues, and the general feel and vibe that Margaritaville brings compared to other mainstream cruise lines. We’ll also touch on Progreso, since it was our first visit there, and share initial thoughts on the port and the area. Plans were flexible on this sailing, so this is more about real impressions, what stood out, and what surprised us. If you’re curious about Margaritaville at Sea, considering the Islander, or just want an honest conversation about how it compares to other cruise experiences, this live is for you. #PKAdventureTravels #MargaritavilleAtSea #Islander #CruiseReview #FirstTimeCruise #CruiseLife #ProgresoMexico #Cozumel #AdventureCrew #cruisetalk CHAPTER LIST 0:00 - Intro Music 1:38 - Welcome & Meet Eddie and Alice Lugo 2:43 - Celebrity Beyond Ship Tour Plans 4:40 - Why We're Discussing Margaritaville at Sea 9:39 - First Impressions of the Islander 10:50 - Cheeseburger in Paradise Review 14:07 - Going In With No Expectations 15:02 - Would We Sail Again? 16:00 - Embarkation Experience 19:09 - Muster Drill Discussion 20:20 - Extension Cord & CPAP Issues 23:32 - Luggage Delivery Speed 26:23 - No App?
