Join us for Day 1 aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Islander as we embark from the Port of Tampa and experience this cruise line for the very first time. From our first impressions of the ship to sailaway, dining, entertainment, and a trip through the infamous "naughty room," we're sharing our honest thoughts about the Islander experience. Along the way, we sample Cheeseburger in Paradise, test out the soft-serve ice cream, enjoy embarkation day desserts, explore the ship's open decks, sail beneath the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and have our first dinner in the main dining room. We also check out the welcome aboard entertainment and discuss what makes Margaritaville at Sea feel different from many of today's mega ships. If you've been curious about Margaritaville at Sea Islander and whether this smaller cruise experience is worth trying, come along as we kick off this 5-day cruise adventure from Tampa Bay.
