WORTH IT?! An honest review of my VERY cheap 2-night cruise with Margaritaville at Sea!

I paid $142 total to sail on a brand new cruise line, Margaritaville at Sea. Despite the super cheap cruise fare under their Heroes Sail Free Promotion, was it worth it? Let's find out.

My wife and I just took the cruise last weekend and had a great time. It was simple for us because we live in Orlando. I would say that it is all about managed expectations. We figured that we would be taking a glorified ferry to the grand Bahamas for a day. With that being the case, we were delighted to see that it was more than that. I think we will do it again.

We went recently, and it wasn't as bad as some people have made it out to be. It definitely isn't for everyone, but if you go in with a open mind and lower expectations, you can have a good time.

[@coycoy23]

Totally agree! I am in the Margaritaville group on FB and there were so many tip , videos and photos on there. There’s so much to do. It’s a 2 night budget trip. Yes it’s not Carnival or Royal Caribbean but like you said go with an open mind and low expectations. Looking forward to go next month.

This review was very helpful and informative and also matched my thoughts when I was reading what was offered.
I would have been flying to Florida for this cruise but I don’t think I would anymore because I don’t think I would get value for my buck. Thanks again

[@nataliejolly8084]

Thank you for the honest review!

[@jerrycasal]

Thank you for your honest review. I’m sailing out today and my present experience corroborates what you mentioned in your review. Let’s see how it goes over the next two days. 🎉

[@austincyr9673]

How was it? Thinking about booking this through Govx as they allow me free admission on this cruise line. My girlfriend had to pay full price so we’re trying to find out more. I’ve never been a cruise and she’s been on Norwegian before.

Thanks for the review!

[@racquelkelley7094]

I think I'm going to give it a try

[@kandacetoney2585]

Thanks for this review.

Isn’t the regular cruise port in Freeport with in walking distance,where Carnival docks? There are restaurants like Senor Frogs there along with shops. The paradise cruise line had to sell off one of its ships so they barely made it out of the pandemic. Another option on this ship is to do a multi day excursion. You do not have to return on your trips return, you could return on another day. I agree right now it is more toward south Florida residents but give them time to purchase more boats. Thanks for sharing.

[@Taniere]

Senor Frogs is in Nassau, no?

[@jessigirlrae1688]

I just looked on the website and the prices were around $500 to $600 for 3 days. That can't be right?

[@korb419]

Great review, would you happen to know the ships smoking policy?

[@veippa]

you can smoke on deck 11 on 1 side of the pool outside

[@Taniere]

Dlower nexklace?! They should give you guys margaritas upon boarding.

[@donnarasmussen8074]

Would love to sail ⛵on this cruise 🛳 ship!

[@dawnfitzpatrick652]

Good way to let folk try it

[@billm83army]

greyhound bus of the sea

[@westhavenor9513]

I think I'd rather spend the afternoon in my local Walmart. Wasn't this ship formerly the SS Listeria?

[@gregoryungs4462]

I had a great time for a short cruise.
The food was outstanding.
They have Deck Douchebag for certain party pooper guests

[@AnileATER]

I'm planning to go on this cruise myself, do you know when I should reach the port to depart?

[@rrichardson542]

Always get there atleast 2hr b4 boarding time just to be safe

[@paulaajohnson2597]

OK if you're already in Palm Beach, but full of hidden charges otherwise. Not as cheap as advertised.
Not catering to kids is a Plus, but it's definitely not worth high travel expenses to get there.
However, I hate the rowdy floating Walmart megaships and prefer this smaller, traditional type of vessel for relaxation.

[@takeylaharrison8079]

Sounds like a budget cruise for sure. No real amenities, prefect for those retired

[@cleopatrabonz]

Sorry to say, but just retired folks go on Celebriry Cruises ,10 times more than this budget cruise.

[@sarahwegman4981]

No sound

[@AprilGordon-xv5gc]

I never been on the cruise this is my first time I never been on Margaritaville either Cruise Jimmy Buffett

[@colleenmckinneyballesteros4409]

No sound?

[@jennadelaurentis4399]

There is sound! Check your settings on TH-cam?

[@TBoss3313]

No sound for me either.😪

[@colleenmckinneyballesteros4409]

That’s strange because I get no sound at the beginning until the logo intro from 00:13-00:19 and then it’s silent again the rest of the video.

[@CruiseBlogGuide]

Make sure you are listening to the video in "stereo" and not "mono". Mono would be just one side of the headphones/speakers.

[@levelupmediadesign687]

They need to hire my company we can definitely envision the possibilities of entertainment

[@Charlesbjtown]

Don't record in mono.

[@sabogalmanuela4909]

Seems really getto ... I'll stick to Royal Carebean

[@janaroberts6933]

This is a fun quick trip to The Bahamas without spending 1k.

[@CruisingWithOwen]

Sabogal Manuela you are so true I will stick to Royal Caribbean and celebrity

[@RaulRodriguez-js5xz]

Cruises are really ghetto in general lol

[@rebasmith7471]

Very helpful. I have been debating booking this cruise bc it’s short

[@texlapam1500]

I can hear my Mom saying....."if you can not say anything good........do not say anything at all!"
this cruise ship is aimed at JIMMY'S FRIENDS AND FANS!!!!!!

[@dianajames4717]

it looks a bit cheap to be honest with you. Then AGAIN YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

[@bromeliad11]

Ghetto fabulous 🎉.
