Creator's Key Takeaways

this is the cheapest cruise we've ever booked 150 each and it's the oldest ship we have ever sealed

the bathroom is the worst oh my David I can't get off that door it is legitimately hanging off the wall

I'm really disappointed in Margaritaville because as we said before we've stayed there before and we've visited lots of their Resorts and things and they're so lovely but this really isn't on the same level

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a power bank or adapter due to limited power outlets in cabins
Consider travel insurance for medical emergencies onboard
Be aware of strict policies on bringing drinks onboard

YouTube Video Description

We’ve been on over 100 cruises, but this might be the worst one yet. We boarded Margaritaville at Sea, one of the cheapest cruises out there, and quickly realized why. From the overpowering sewage smell to the questionable food, outdated cabins, and overall safety concerns, this ship was a disaster. Join us as we take a full tour, showing you everything—our cabin, the food, the entertainment, and what it’s really like onboard one of the oldest cruise ships still sailing. If you’re thinking about booking, watch this first because you might want to avoid this one… ------------ ⭐ Show your support and get exclusive access to videos, a live zoom chat, postcards, your name on our videos, and more!
