You've convinced me! I'd definitely give it a try. It looks really nice for an older ship. Lots of nice artwork and vacation inducing colours! Glad you enjoyed it.🎉🚢
Excellent spot on review. We are on our 5th day on the Islander, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. During our Cozumel day, we went out on our own to the Paradise Beach Club. It was all-inclusive for $68 each. The cruise was great. We had the extended balcony with chairs and loungers, which included the Islander restaurant at no additional charge. We appreciate your honest review when I was doing research. It made a difference. Thanks, Dale
Good photography and upbeat review. Nicely done. You're right I think the ship is getting better with every cruise as the crew and shore staff work out the growing pains of a fantastic possibility.
They have indeed made several changes to things and worked out a lot of kinks. It’s some of the most relaxing time I’ve spent on a ship. Going again in April. Till then I’m also going on several short trips on the sister ship paradise. Fair winds and full sails!
Do you have more info on the 5 dollar games? You mentioned them. Is it certain times or days? I assume the craps table or poker is constantly at a 5 min
I am taking the same cruise to key west and Cozumel on this ship in November, would you mind giving a breakdown of the disembarking costs at the end of the cruise? I have a limited budget and want to make sure I bring enough to have for the trip as well as after cruise fees
I'll be cruising on MSC later this year, out of Miami. Me and my Bestie are West Coasters and wanted to cram Key West into our plans. I would have loved to have trekked over to Tampa to do a B2B on Islander (Did I mention I'm a card-carrying, goofy hat wearing Parrothead?). Unfortunately, the schedules didn't line up. That would have been an amazing adventure 😊
Did the margaritaville paradise after a celebration cruise. Margaritaville hands down won for a soul and great staff and food. Celebration had no soul and was like deaths waiting room. Gotta try out the Margarita Islander thanks for the review.
Sorry Corey, but i just love watching your travel log. Yours is the only one i watch anymore. Would love to see you video some of your excursions like a David Attenborough kinda feel. i think you would be great. So get some khaki cargo pants, a safari hat and binoculars and go gettem' P.S. hows the home DIY going?? Cheers Mate!!! 🍺🍻
We had a power outage for several hours while at sea on Carnival Legend- same ship as Margaritaville Islander. Love how they changed the decor looks like fun! - Barb

Yep, we are looking forward to checking out this ship this winter!
Great video.We're booked for last week of October. Also for October 2025! Can't wait!
I like the looks of this one more than Margaritaville Paradise from Florida's east coast. I'm going to check out the website now.

I'm ready to give it a try!
Been on her, and it is worth it!!!
Booked for late October. Can't wait!
We just got off our cruise and it was phenomenal. Buffet sucks but everything else is just amazing for the price.
Glad to hear your review. Scheduled to be on her 9/6. Had apprehensions but after hearing what you had to say much of that is gone
Great tour video Captain Corey 👏
We need to look into cruising here 👍
Me an my girlfriend are leaving next month. Thank you this video was cool
Thanks Cory, we've talked about this one and wondered about it. Thanks for the honest review.
It’s a brilliantly inexpensive getaway. Great to hear from you!
Do you have more info on the 5 dollar games? You mentioned them. Is it certain times or days? I assume the craps table or poker is constantly at a 5 min
Great video Cory. It made me think about them for a cruise.
Thanks so much! It was a fun cruise that doesn’t hurt the wallet. ✌️
@@MidshipsCruise I've never cruised out of Florida, so I think it's time.
Great information. Thanks for sharing
Great video Cory! Thanks for your honest review!
MAS crew is some of the best I've ever experinced!

Thank you for the review!
My pleasure!
I keep hearing mixed reviews concerning the food but I would not mind trying it out because the price point is so reasonable.
Where Did You Get Your Luggage Suitcases?
Thanks for the infi, Capt Corey!
P. S. Carnival stinks!!
Will Definitely trying margaritaville
😅 Definitely let John Heald know about that! Thanks for watching.

Cheers Mate!!! 🍺🍻
😂 Could you Imagine how funny that would be? Great creative advice! The house is looking awesome, thanks for sticking with me!
I have missed you ! Did you get your house done ?
Thanks James! The house is all buttoned up. Video uploads should be back to normal for you! Cheers.
So kind with review. I will pass on cruising on this new line .
Thanks, keep it in mind for a fun budget trip!
@@MidshipsCruise you can get a better cruise line fare if you do your home work . Too much waste of hard earned money for the return .
Good Evening Corey
