Honest Tour & Review | Margaritaville at Sea Paradise

There are so many sensationalized videos about the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise. While it isn’t the largest, fanciest, or newest ship on the water, how bad is it really? Well, we boarded with very low expectations, and here is our video giving a very straight-forward tour of the ship so that you can better plan and prepare for your sailing.

Excellent video. I am a seasoned cruiser mostly with Carnival (over 15 cruises). Mostly a solo cruiser and looking for something extra to do and not too expensive. You did a great job and helped me to give it some consideration. Don H Ocala Fl.

[@AikenAdventures]

Glad to be a help!

[@Avanterpool]

This cruise was great when I went. Excellent service and good.

[@AikenAdventures]

The staff is pretty great we found personally and have seen/heard positive remarks across the internet as well.

[@DOUGandNIKI]

A very brave family! Glad you had a good time. Nice job on the video.

[@AikenAdventures]

Thanks so much! It really wasn’t so bad especially for the price. The ship definitely has some age, and we have sailed on some nicer ships, BUT we enjoyed making memories together as a family.

[@DOUGandNIKI]

@@AikenAdventures We live in the Tampa area and I understand they are getting a second ship to base here so your video caught my eye. I was curious.

[@AikenAdventures]

@DOUGandNIKI yes, the Islander. Looks like a nice ship. I’ve been watching the renovations. We enjoyed ourselves on this one. We may go again as a couple just because of the price and convenience.

[@TC-yi3ue]

Great tour..thanks!

[@AikenAdventures]

You’re welcome. Hope it helped provide a balanced perspective on the ship.

I am scheduled to go in September for a 3 night Bahama trip and I have questions. 1. other cruise lines allow a bottle of wine or waters to be brought on board. I cannot find any documentation on this with Margaritaville. What is allowed? 2. how is the parking? is it in a garage or in a lot in the weather? 3. I"m 40 and just wanted a nice relaxing short cruise to visit Bahama. I'm not into partying and acting like a fool. Would this cruise still be OK for me? How is the environment? Is it younger folks drunk being loud and raunchy the entire time? After the reviews I've seen and read it's not looking great. My main concerns are the sewage smells people talk about in their rooms and the food.

[@AikenAdventures]

1. We don’t drink, so we never looked into the policy. Not sure about that one. 2. I think it was open weather, to be honest. 3. We did not experience a lot of foolishness. Our family was in bed by 8 each evening. I went to the show, and there were people drinking but no one being crazy. After that, I went to bed. We were awakened by someone screaming in the hallways one night, which was probably the “the worst” thing we experienced in that regard.

[@qmtcop]

Can you bring your own case of bottled water or water on board?

[@AikenAdventures]

Looks like Margaritaville at Sea does not permit water.

[@qmtcop]

Is the Fin dining room a self serve buffet?

[@AikenAdventures]

The Fin dining room is not buffet style. It is a table service restaurant.

[@qmtcop]

@@AikenAdventures ok but there is a buffet style place to have breakfast, lunch dinner in another wing?

[@AikenAdventures]

Yes

[@qmtcop]

@@AikenAdventures thanks

[@ChuckTownRC51]

Them not finding the shoes shows you how bad the cleaning job was.

[@AikenAdventures]

Yeah, that was definitely suspicious.

[@qmtcop]

Child care for kids free? What are the hours of operation?

[@AikenAdventures]

I think the childcare is for no additional charge.

[@qmtcop]

@@AikenAdventures ok

[@ashleyhouse9963]

Did you guys utilize the kids club?

[@AikenAdventures]

No. We just weren’t comfortable with the idea.

[@setfreeanddelivered586]

@@AikenAdventures Why weren't you comfortable?

[@AikenAdventures]

@@setfreeanddelivered586 Nothing on the part of the cruise line themselves--just that we don't like the idea of leaving our children with strangers.

[@natalia-grace]

That almost looks as bad as Carnival cruise ships !! 🤢

[@AikenAdventures]

It’s very much like Carnival.

[@coleensalzer491]

It doesn't look like there are a lot of people on board. Is that because you did the video prior to majority boarding?

[@AikenAdventures]

Most of this video was shot while in port.

[@maryanngambino7608]

That green dress is so beautiful! I’m shocked about this cruise!

[@AikenAdventures]

Thanks for the compliment on the dress. Thanks for the comment! In what way were you shocked by the cruise?

[@ChuckTownRC51]

Ships have decks not floors. 😉

[@AikenAdventures]

Yeah, I slipped on that. You’ll notice that I caught myself at one point and used the word deck through most of the video.

[@corynoble4202]

Really? Complain about something real.

[@xpallodoc1147]

I’m not a fan of cruises. I’ve taken one through the Greek islands a long time ago with an ex gf.

[@AikenAdventures]

We love cruises. We hope to take more in the future. Our cruise videos seem to be performing well on our channel right now, too, and I think it’s because so many people are revenge cruising right now. A couple of years ago, theme park traffic really ticked up, and that seems to have slowed, but so many people headed out to see these days.

[@Mary6661]

Nobody cares

[@johnhironimus1197]

It's a cheap booze cruise that's all it is....not a vacation with wife or family....a shit show drunk cruise ship

[@AikenAdventures]

Understood. We “won” a free cruise so we made the best of it, and since we were in bed by a reasonable Time each evening, we didn’t observe a lot of unusual behavior. I think we managed to have a wholesome experience overall.

[@adammorton2062]

Uhg sanitize your kids

[@AikenAdventures]

😒

[@ehut2954]

dollar Tree cruise line

[@AikenAdventures]

We heard one KZbinr call it the Dollar Tree of the Seas.

[@stephenthompson439]

​@@AikenAdventuresOr maybe Dollar General...🤔🤔

[@BradleyHotz]

Did you have to pay to eat?????

[@AikenAdventures]

No. The dining featured in this video was complimentary, but some premium dining options are also available for purchase.

[@pinkieandcounboxed]

Nice review! Love the honesty and the information

[@AikenAdventures]

Thanks so much! Yeah the cruise wasn’t the fanciest, most incredible thing we’ve ever experienced, but it wasn’t as bad as some videos say.

[@israelcunningham9141]

How can you miss shoes in a drawer. Lol.

[@AikenAdventures]

That was odd. The rest of the room seemed pretty clean and the stateroom attendant was very apologetic.

[@Cherloe]

Thank you for this tour! It seemed kind of loud throughout. Even the MDR seemed as loud as a school cafeteria. What are your thoughts?

[@AikenAdventures]

Yes, the MDR and the buffet were particularly loud.

[@DouaVaaj]

Is there a casino in the cruise?

[@AikenAdventures]

Yes

[@stephanietopo6909]

Did you watch the video? Please don’t be a Biden and respond with such a dumb ass comment. Please watch before you speak. If you can’t watch, DONT FUCKING SPEAK.

[@loran3960]

I saw on another video that their casino is smoke free

[@nordisk1874]

So as always you have never taken a traditional cruise.

[@AikenAdventures]

This cruise is short, and the ship is small, but it’s a cruise. And when we took the Celebrity Silhouette, we earned the cruise through Plexus, so there were some special things on the agenda, but it was pretty normal. AND before we started our channel, we took two cruises together as a couple of Alaina had taken a few with her family before that, so we do have a point of comparison.
