This really is the most comprehensive review on Margaritaville at sea Islander. Even the boarding process is explained in much detail. Loved this review..Thank you 😊 Lisa and Paul
I enjoyed this video; loved the information given before boarding the ship. Details of arrival and departure are helpful and interesting. I've never been to the Tampa port and would like to sail Margarita at Sea Islander so it was great getting pre boarding info. Thanks for a thorough review of the ship! 🙂
Thanks so much for all the amazing comments and questions, everyone! 🛳 We’re thrilled to see how much you’re enjoying the video and finding it helpful for your own cruise planning. It’s been such a joy sharing our experience aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Islander with you all. 🌴🍹 If you’re gearing up for your own cruise or just dreaming of one, we’d love to hear about it! What are you most excited to try on board? Or do you have any tips for cruising out of Tampa? Let us know - we love chatting with fellow travelers! 🚗🌅 And as always, stay tuned for more adventures. 😊
Hi @angelenamccoy5889! Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 We’re thrilled you enjoyed our review and found it helpful - that means the world to us. 🛳🌴 For this trip, we actually booked all of our excursions through the cruise line. It made things super convenient, especially since transportation was included, and we didn’t have to worry about getting back to the ship on time. That being said, we’ve also done independent bookings on other cruises, and there are definitely pros and cons to both approaches depending on what you’re looking for. If you have specific questions about the excursions or need advice on booking, feel free to ask - we’re happy to help! 😊 Hope you have an amazing trip ahead!
Thanks! That was an excellent walkthrough and great review of the entire trip. My family usually cruises Royal Caribbean but after 2 disappointing cruises in 2024 on Royal we want to try a new cruise line.
Hi @TheKookyKennedys! We’re so glad you enjoyed the drive-through Tampa footage! 🚗 It’s such an underrated part of the journey, and we’re thrilled it resonated with you. How was your December cruise? 🌴☀ We’d love to hear about your experience and if you found the drive helpful for planning your trip! If you’re already dreaming of your next adventure (we totally get it!), let us know - we’re always happy to share more tips and inspiration. Thanks so much for watching, and here’s to an exciting year of travels ahead! 🛳🎉
@ it was fantastic. I thought I was going to vlog a ton but we were having too much fun lol I recorded as much as I could. We have another booked for August!!
I have a question about the specialty dining. Does it have to used in one day? Is there an option to eat at 1 or 2 places a day? How does this actually work? I’m highly considering but there wasn’t enough info about daily usage
Hi @warrenpaul5995! Great question about the specialty dining package! 😊 The $107 package covers six specialty dining options, but you don’t have to use them all in one day. Instead, each venue (like the Island Eats, and Tiki Grill) offers a credit - typically $25 per venue - that you can redeem during the cruise. You can spread these credits across multiple days and dine at one or two specialty restaurants each day, depending on your schedule and appetite. For example, you could enjoy sushi one evening and save your steakhouse experience for another night. Just keep in mind that any unused credits don’t roll over to the next cruise, so plan accordingly to get the most out of it! 🍣🥩 We highly recommend strategizing to maximize your package, as some restaurants (like JWB Steakhouse and Far Side Sushi) are absolutely worth the visit. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask if you have more questions. Happy cruising! 🚢🌴
I enjoyed this very thorough review. However, was a little confused about the Drink package. I think you said it was $599 a person per day? 😮 Did you mean $5.99 or $59.99 per day per person? Aside from that, it was a fabulous review and quite entertaining!!!🎉
its definitely upward to $60 a day. I think the one Im going on is $75 a day total with the tax. 15 drink max and if you drink that it comes out to $5 a drink. Which makes it worth it if you are drinking it.
Do I need a passport I have one but my girlfriend doesn’t we are going in December we live in Florida us citizens going on the same exact boat and cruise as y’all I already booked it and everything hoping they don’t turn us down 🥲
Hi @michaeljura6040! Haha, we hear you (pun intended 😉)! Pronunciation can definitely be tricky, especially when you’re traveling and exploring new cultures. But hey, it’s all part of the adventure, right? 🌎 We’re just here to share the fun, even if we stumble on a word or two along the way. Next time we’ll brush up on our Spanish a bit more before we dive into those cenotes! Thanks for watching and joining us on the journey - we promise to keep it entertaining! 😄

I love your review so much. I've seen many and this was by far the best.
Did you book these excursions through the cruise line or independently?

What are port fees/gratuities?
Nobody has ever showed the drive through tampa. I enjoyed seeing that part since we are driving there from Alabama. I can't wait to go in December!

What camera are you using?
We mostly used Insta360
Do I need a passport I have one but my girlfriend doesn’t we are going in December we live in Florida us citizens going on the same exact boat and cruise as y’all I already booked it and everything hoping they don’t turn us down 🥲
Yes, you may need a passport or at least a birth certificate to prove the citizenship. Happy sailing!
No. You do not. It's a closed loop leaving and coming back into the US. You need an official BC and State ID.
It hurts my ears listening to her say cenote
