Margaritaville at sea is the best bang for your buck with the most activity’s. I highly recommend the islander it’s a huge step up from paradise! Great video man👍

[@Tigersguy]

A cruise is what you make of it, glad you enjoyed it. Try Royal small ship they are nice too.

[@MollyAltenburg]

Love this video ! Thank you so much for the info. I love how vibey and hippie you got hahaha talking about pizza lol

[@fattestedtravel]

Thanks so much! I was definitely feeling the vibe on that cruise.

[@rebel4669]

I'll be on my first cruise in 2 months. As a big boy, I've had reservations about size issues in and out of the room. But, I'll make the best of it, as you have. Love the content, brother. Happy New Year!

[@fattestedtravel]

Have a great time. I have another video Wednes that is a tour of the ship btw!

[@jacobmoore756]

Where did you get the shirt you're wearing at 27:00 ? I love it and want one! Great video! Would love more cruise vlogs!

[@d.santos7109]

This is the only tip I remembered: Hang around the bar on last day and accept free drinks LOL

[@BookLovinLibra]

FYI you can still get off the ship even if you don't have a passport. Just don't be late getting back to the ship!

[@laurene-ram5537]

So glad you had a blast! You are a whole vibe- now I wanna go lol

[@fattestedtravel]

Thank you. I thought it was so much fun.

[@rebeccasomebody4843]

This was a fun review

[@fattestedtravel]

Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching.

[@QueenGemini50]

My husband and I first cruise was on Margaritaville at Sea. It was an adventure. Overall we had a ball.

[@fattestedtravel]

I had such a great time!

[@kylel4361]

Glad you had a good time. I have been on many cruises but only on newer ships and I want to try a older classic ship.

[@TruCal-zk6cn]

Absolutely enjoyed cruising with you 🎉❤

[@fattestedtravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@7empest376]

Im glad that you enjoyed this ship and cruise line. I really hope they get bigger. I hope and plan to cruise with them in the next few years.

[@willynillyadventures]

I’m glad that you had good time. We have discussed taking a little 4 night deal to Key West.

[@fattestedtravel]

Well, let me know :-) I am officially a travel agent now

[@patriciascelia3948]

I love that it's not chaotically crowded

[@anikianauzinor7312]

Omg it was so nice meeting you on the cruise! Great video!😊

[@fattestedtravel]

Yay!!! I’m glad you saw it!

[@misterx8592]

Hubba hubba!

[@Juanita-gf4te]

My favorite wine is Italian Lambrusco. It's sweetish but not too sweet. It's red and has a slight spritz to it and it's served chilled. There are different brands but my favorite is Reggiano Lambrusco. They might not sell it on ships but I hope they do as I'm off on my first cruise of February 2nd.........I am so excited!

[@obriancruiseandtravel857]

I like you and your video. I'm a big cruise buff. Love cruising and watching cruise videos. Please do more cruising and cruising videos

[@brycecrane9061]

What’s wrong with Texas wines?! lol southwinds blackberry is amazing

[@fattestedtravel]

I love Texas Moscato! It’s just looked down upon by snobs.

[@EliteJCTV]

Never been on a cruise but i def wanna go on one. I would just freak out at night not to see lights passed the railings lol.

[@sarahhoskins4272]

Looks like you had an amazing time!

[@fattestedtravel]

I really did!

[@snug40pip]

I enjoyed your video, but really missed out on seeing what the food choices were and what you thought of the taste of the different food choices. The food is one of the best things about a cruise. Can’t wait to see the next video.

[@fattestedtravel]

I don’t know if you saw the follow up video, but they’re definitely was a lot of food in that one. I did the walk-through and the food together.

[@weallnosey542]

How much did it cost to book??

[@alanwignall8718]

I bring a 1 to 3 Christmas plug for the outlet (not a surge protector)

[@juneyoung5503]

Nice commentary on your cruise

[@toddbrown3101]

Looks like an awesome time ❤!

[@fattestedtravel]

I had the best time!

[@suzzylouloudougherty5237]

❤ That's funny.He asked you if you had kids

[@StephanieLidholm]

Ironically the room you’re in was the room I was assigned for my cruise in April before I upgraded to a higher deck! How cool is that?

[@fattestedtravel]

That’s awesome!

[@has9250]

Happy new year. Ive done that cruise twice. The hidden fees are obnoxious, but once you get the incredible service onboard you realize its worth it. It is just the shadyness of not including it on the main fare that makes it uncomfortable. Cruises should include it on your total once you reserve , because once i knew about those hidden fees i held myself tight and didnt spend on anything else onboard.

[@fattestedtravel]

Yeah the fees are definitely not advertised well, but I did feel like the service was worth it. It’s the fuel charge that I’m really not a fan of. I loved the cruise. I had a great time but if you cruise a lot, apparently the tips are common, but that fuel charge is unique.

[@alexandrahall2012]

I'm glad you had a good time, each time i watch a video about this ship, the complaints from people are all ridiculous and the fun looks amazing. I , unfortunately, live too far away to take advantage of this cruise unless I was already in Florida for something else. ( a "cheap" cruise gets expensive when you add airfare and hotels).

[@VirgoDoll]

Definitely should've went with royal carribean or carnival for your first cruise experience I've heard nothing but bad things about margaritaville at sea Definitely not the typical cruise experience😐

[@fattestedtravel]

Those all cost quite a bit more. I had the best time. This was absolutely phenomenal.

[@Panda-qr2ld]

I’ve only been on one cruise and it was wonder of the seas and let me just tell you right now. You literally started on the worst ship in history.

[@fattestedtravel]

That’s what people say. And they are perfectly welcome to believe what they like about it but I had a fantastic time. There’s a lot of benefits to the small ships I think. Especially with a great team and crew. I’m sure I’ll get to wonders of the sea at some point I’m sure it’s absolutely fantastic but For folks that I’ve never cruised before what a great Affordable cruise To be able to experience it and have a wonderful time

[@bdemchok]

The fuel surcharge is interesting. Carnival hasn't charged it like that in the 7 cruises I have been on.

[@fattestedtravel]

Yeah, this is the only one I know I’ve heard that one on. I don’t think it’s a good look for them without explaining more. But again clearly everything else I loved.

[@Djporkchowp]

We gotta get you on carnival brother

[@suzzylouloudougherty5237]

Confused I don't remember what port did you leave florida

[@suzzylouloudougherty5237]

What port did you leave from

[@stevenlapidus5939]

Which port did you leave from?

[@fattestedtravel]

West Palm Beach

[@leocatcruises]

Only cruise line that charges fuel supplement

[@WeOutSlide]

You have a very good way of being so comfortable on camera I like your videos a lot 👍

[@TonyNoCeilings]

If you enjoyed this cruise wait until you go on the most economical Carnival cruise.

[@misterx8592]

I wouldn’t go on that cruise if it was free….

[@fattestedtravel]

I’m sure it’s not for everybody. I had a marvelous time.

[@disney4life19]

Bro should have went with carnival at least for a first time experience that’s no a proper cruise seems more like a ferry to the Bahamas

[@Robin_S78]

Good to see that also poor people can go on a cruise 🎉

[@sheaporcha1214]

Don’t worry, you’ll be poor too in Jesus name we pray amen

[@MissyRichardson-l1x]

Any cruise is worth 69.00

[@RFoster130]

Look up professor Melissa on here. She has all the tips you ever need for cruising.
