I am phobic about shower curtains touching me. Going on my 1st cruise soon on Celebrity Reflection and since my mom is in a wheelchair we have a roll in shower with a shower curtain. Place a few clothes pins on the bottom of the shower curtain and it will stay down and not wrap around you or stick to you. Hope that tip will help others.

[@rosey312]

The information about the plugs is important. A lot of folks travel with Cpap machines and the plugs so far away would be a nightmare! Makes no sense that they wouldn't improve things for the US market. All I can think is that they only expect people to be one and done clients.

[@mrs.queenb7781]

In our cabin the shade worked fine and the tv was great .we had outlets by the bed ..the bed was comfy and closet worked fine..but the shower curtin did attack me in the shower 😆

[@tiagoayoub2446]

What else could you expect from low price cruise line that operates a 1991 ship!? Honestly, the ship is in much better shape than before and room itself looks a bit bigger when compared to newer ship... So, not bad do a 2 days cruise! 😊

[@nataliajimenez1870]

My only issue would be the very thin walls. If you have loud neighbors you may need to bring noise cancellation headphones

[@worldweary1913]

The thin walls is a deal killer.

I am currently on NCL Breakaway. There are two US sockets no usb. The staff is amazing, the app is useless. We left late, and then had a medical evacuation so the captain has been running full speed ahead and well I for one am glad I don’t get sick. Having a great time.

Thank you so much for sharing what it looks like I'ma go on a cruise ship next year for my birthday

[@lisagardner903]

My husband and I have been on 35 cruises and some of them have been on inside or port hole cabins like this. We prefer a balcony but we are only in the cabin when we are showering or sleeping so the room is no big deal to us. Most of our cruises have been on Norwegian Cruise Lines.

[@lexa_power]

Looks cute, I don’t know how I’d feel about a window cabin as I like the idea of interiors so I can have perfect dark at night and I like balcony cabins so I can go vape outside and dry my bikinis (i know you’re not supposed to do either lol) but I don’t think I’d use a window too much. Must be nice to have a view though and to be able to tell time of day on a short cruise when you don’t want to get too jet lagged or sleep all day! This ship is on my list of ones I want to try.

[@SocialCouplepreneur]

Been thinking about booking. This was very helpful.

[@drpantastic1969]

After you go you'll look back on it like why did i hesitate lol.go have some fun life is too short my friend .

[@5devinnbruce]

As a many-time cruiser I have started to book insides only to save money and also because I realized I am NEVER in the room other than to sleep and change clothes...the last two balconies I had I realized I never even went out on. One of the new updates I love is the Virtual Balcony ....have you done a segment on them?

[@MizzQueenbeby]

Thanks for sharing! I'll be there in a month. It would be great if you find a friend that allows you to film one of the suites.

[@Rogan.Richeart]

[@damann522]

Thanks for being honest. Most folks I ve watched are trying just to sell the cruise not really saying what it is like to take it.

[@cydneystephen2814]

Hey J. Ocean view. Like the bright colors. Odd stretch for a U S outlet. Decent size tv. Like the light control on the headboard. Safe a good height. Ok closet for 1, not sure if enough hanging for 2. Bathroom not bad. Nice countertop. First ship I’ve seen a trash bag in the 🗑️ bin in the bathroom. Wow. Walls that thin? 🫤. Agreed. Simple/dated but functional. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.

[@tahlia81]

I've done carnival and trust me the walls are thin too. I guess that's why some book on top deck levels to avoid noise but hey it is what it is. These trips are short and who is barely in their room anyway

[@martybuehler3116]

It's a nice room for a cheap cruise. This is a party ship. I would be just fine in it.....

[@paulacairns6846]

We just went on this cruise days ago, and I thought it was great! Our room (5100) was cool, almost cold so we turned it down (no problem). Yes, it's an old ship but it's been newly redecorated. Our room was nice. We did get an extension cord (converter) from customer service. There was a USB port by the bed & a US outlet.

[@paulacairns6846]

Our room was bigger than a normal balcony room on other ships. It had 2 chairs by the window (unlike Jay's). I wish I could post a picture. It is a short 2 night trip...& well worth the price! Just go & enjoy yourselves! PS...the shower curtain is too short!

[@susantokles5042]

For the price, it's not too bad

[@saramatthews5095]

You just confirmed my every fear I had about this cruise line when I was offered the free deal due to mine and my husbands jobs. Yea I am so glad I decided not to book and found a deal on a much longer trip for us with another line for an anniversary trip!

I’ll be on there in April as part of the Heroes Sail Free so I appreciate this review very much! I’m wondering if we could bring extension cords or I’ll remember to bring a power bank pre charged

[@latishaambroise1031]

I was on this sailing too. We booked via the "Heroes Sail Free" program. We paid taxes and port charges. I have sailed on over 30 cruises on several different lines. The room, on deck 7, Was adequate until we saw roaches in our room. We changed rooms afterwards.

[@tahlia81]

Say what??!! I had better not see any in mine. I just booked a stateroom on the lower deck for new years

[@keithwilliams9213]

Nice look out the window at the Port of Palm Beach!

[@maryloulong6789]

Most of all of the Florida ports are industrial

[@boganpainter1638]

I think it seems overpriced for what you get. You can get a 3 night on other lines for about the same price and get more entertainment and more included food options.

[@TropicLuv]

I realize it’s not new with all the comforts of newer and better refurbished ones, but at least it’s a decent room for a short cruise. I did like that it seem to be more spacious. But that shower curtain would drive me effing nuts!!!!

[@esciteach7997]

you hear everything; some other guests in nearby rooms wake you with their arguing at 5 am and others 4 am when they get in for the night. Suggest you watch at least 3 other vloggers reviews of their experience on this ship. Highest rating was a generous 5/10

[@tahlia81]

Yea, for me as long as the cabin is functional and clean doesn't really bother me as much because real talk you're only in your cabin to sleep & change your clothes and ofc shower

[@jonathanabraham8014]

Ome cruise hack my wife and I do, is that we now take EU adaptors to have extra plugs

[@mitchellbelinda50]

Thank you so much Jay for this cabin tour. I’ve been considering the free cruise offer for veterans, so this helps a lot to know, free or not, is it worth the cost of paying transportation 🤔

[@elouise5593]

I might try one! The guests with you get a discounted rate! It might be worth a try, if the food and entertainment aren't too bad. Update: I just looked at another comment. Maybe not this cruiseline!

[@bfl7845]

daughters and I are thinking about giving this a try. They offer a free trip for police, EMT's, medics, RNs, and most "public service" people, even retired ones like myself. We figure for port charges only we can't go wrong.

[@maryloulong6789]

It’s not that bad. I’ve been on her at least 5 times before Margueritaville and I always have a good time. Of course it helps that live 5 miles from the port. I hate going to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami

How lucky🎉

[@markgriffin9353]

Good stuff! I just got of the Conquest (sound familiar) I paid 350.00 for 4 days and got 200.00 OBC. Thanks for the info but I will stay with going out of Miami!

Why would you pay 50 dollars for a glass of of water?...there was no other means of hydration?

[@tahlia81]

Did they provide shower gel etc or have to bring your own?

[@LakeNipissing]

Nice review of the room. Ridiculous lack of power points! Not only did the window shade not want to stay up, even when it was all the way down, lots of light still gets past. Did the 31 year old toilet work well? With lots of food to eat on a cruise, that matters.

[@coltsmiff1132]

Hello, I’ve been watching your videos for a few days and I’m wondering where do you find your cruises at the prices you find. I have a wife and four kids and would like to surprise them, but not go broke (almost there) anyways. Hopefully you see this post.

[@tahlia81]

Margaritaville seems to always have BOGO specials (one price for 2 ppl) and they have cruise certificates you can gift to others for as low as $299. But I'm sure if you check out the other cruise lines esp during off peak they may have specials. I'm all about a good discount esp for cruises. They can be quite expensive.

[@LucyBird]

Definitely a bit weathered, surprised they didn't do a full refurb of the ship. The bathroom seems like a decent size, but the shower curtains on all ships have got to go!!

[@FeedingFrenzy91]

Me and my father recently did this cruise (one-way though) and we enjoyed it. Also had an oceanview room. God bless everyone.

[@tahlia81]

Oh wow you can book one ways I didn't even know that.

[@passiveinvestor1978]

Does the shower curtain hug you when you take a shower? That happened to me on my MSC cruise, it was the size of a coffin.

[@tahlia81]

[@adrianesteininger1892]

Shower looks tiny, particularly with that shower curtin!

[@JSHIPLIFE]

It’s a tight fit for sure

[@dololuvsfoodanddeals]

Have you been on carnival sunrise

[@VickieCarla]

That bathroom counter! Never seen anything that large except in suites. Overall, the bathroom size seems decent with the exception of the shower. But I did like the shelves in the shower. Lots of storage space in the room as though it's going to be a long cruise. I've heard good things about the food and the nighttime main stage show. We almost booked when they had a two for one special a while back, but we just had so many cruises booked. It's interesting how you can get off, spend a few days in a resort, then get back on. Perfect for folks who will not fly!

[@esciteach7997]

Vickie; every other vlogger hated their room (mold in bathroom and toilet) and also could not sleep at all; some in nearby rooms got up at 5 am and others nearby partied till 4 am and you HEAR EVERYTHING. Things to do onboard? one vlogger showed a table with board games ( like Monopoly, Risk) on it ! Every vlogger said "never again." This cabin review is very suspicious.

For longer cruises you would need to book carnival or Norwegian. Margaritaville only goes to Bahamas from Florida.

I love cruising but I am not sure this particular one is a good representation of cruising in general. It's almost like a ferry in that every day is embarkation day. You can get off and stay in a resort then get back on. I think on your first cruise you should go for a few more bells & whistles. Just my opinion.

[@justinmobile8112]

It doesn't seem too bad. A bit dated in terms of furniture but as long as it was clean. My worry with a low price cruise would be whether it's full of party goers that can't handle their drink and whether it stinks of vomit everywhere. The blind was almost certainly broken and a bit of an odd style choice to dress such a characterful window.

[@VoiceEnFuego]

I made a reservation for this ship cause I got a good deal and I'm kind of regretting it

He probably had to pay double occupancy, if you price it out per person for 2 people it’s $93 a day, not bad. Not amazing but not bad

[@tahlia81]

Grat is slapped onto your cruise acct no matter what so might as well drink up (alcoholic beverages that is) regular drinks & regular food is included in your fare.

[@barretteturner3461]

[@JSHIPLIFE]

I literally just got off Carnival’s new ships the Celebration and came straight over to Margaritaville. That’s why

[@FeedingFrenzy91]

Just letting people know you can actually do this cruise one-way. So if you want to go on a vacation to Grand Bahama (or even visit some of the other islands) you can actually use this cruise as a means of transportation and for two people it is actually cheaper than many flights right now. God bless everyone.
