For people cruising on a budget like myself it seems rather awesome. Comparing these cruise ships to the carnival cruise ships or royal Caribbean cruise ships is just foolish. This is in its own category, reason for it being a micro cruise. For it being my first cruise I’m pretty excited.

As I speak my sister-in-law and brother are on this Cruise they say that they are up to $650 already 😳 you know I think they offer cheaper cruises depending on the day you go but then they count on everybody spending tons of money on the EXCURSIONS and the EXTRAS they're not stupid they know what they're doing... I actually booked for the beginning of October and I'm going to call tomorrow and cancel so happy that I came across this video I was going to go on the day of my brother's passing 2 years ago October 6th🥺🥺 just to celebrate his life and not be sad and this video was actually made on his birthday and I just feel like I'm not going to go after seeing what the ship actually has to offer I'm not impressed so thanks again for this video! Oh and I just found out it's $22 a day for VALET PARKING and you have NO CHOICE that's $44 more dollars crazy! I'll pass

I actually don't mind that the ship is 30 years old. I'm a big fan of overall vehicle recycling, environmentally speaking, so long as it remains safe and comfortable. Even increased fuel efficiency doesn't usually outweigh new production environmental costs, at least for many years. We scrap too much and use too many new resources anyway! Bravo Margaritaville!

It is what is it. A Ship that's over 30 years old, doing back and forth trips from Florida to the Bahamas. We went on the last ship about 4 years ago, that ship was really ready for the scrape yard. Looks good for its purpose, low fares for people that just want a fast couple day get away. Do not have high expectations and you'll be fine. This is second rate everything crew, entertainment, food etc... Not a bad thing but its reality. Long gone are this ships trip to Vince and Barcelona, now it's a Grey Hound Bus of the sea, but 10 times better than the last ship.

We had the same happen, filled out.a thing at the mall and won, there are a lot of fess involved after winning and you do wind up paying over a $1000 when all is said and done. We leave next month March 30th. You leave at 5pm from Florida and get to the Grand Bahama Island they next morning around 9am so probably will only get dinner and maybe some drinks, maybe enjoy a show or just relax and unwind so not really too worried about the fact they don't have much to do on it, it's literally taking us to the Island and back so all our fun will be on the resort. You could $50 each way per person to upgrade to a room with a window but we chose not to since it will be dark and we will just be going to the room to sleep anyway, LOL! We chose the option to stay at The Wyndham Viva Fortuna All-Inclusive Beach Resort, paid $180 to upgrade to an ocean view room, and still have a balance of $953 so when they tell you that you receive a "FREEE" 4 day 3 night Bahama vacation it's absolutely not free, not sure how they get away with that but they do. Here are the "FREE" fees. 1. $40 Account setup fee so you have an online portal to log into to view your trip, fees, communicate, etc. 2. $87.50 Cruise Administration Fee for the cruise there and back per person so a total of $350, 3. Port & Service Fees for the whole trip $258, and last but not least 4. Resort Fees & Resort Taxes for the week for each person for $951, for a grand total of $1551 for the 'FREE" Bahama Vacation, still not sure how that can be classified as "FREE" but it is. We didn't complain since we figured had we paid for it ourselves it probably would have been more but that 'FREE" vacation sure as hell ain't "FREE". Will follow up and let ya know how it went though.

My wife and I rank in the 6 out of 10 as Parrot Head fans, we actually have see Jimmy Buffett in WPB twice. We love to cruise and are NCL cruisers and we have been on 10 total cruises. All but 1 out of Port Canaveral or Miami and last year out of Seattle for a Alaska cruise. I have seen several times in the Bahamas the Costa ship and although it sailed out closer to us West Palm Beach (we live in Port St. Lucie) with mostly no balconies and a older ship we were never interested. So when the hype of Margaritaville at sea began we were very interested. We could handle a ocean view room for a Jimmy Buffet cruise and to party Margaritaville style!

Decidedly "not ready for prime time," including an inaugural sailing. It appears at least one more refit and refurbishment is necessary and not just using a piecemeal solution . If the line wants to compete with the big boys major/minor repairs are paramount. Up-charges are shortsighted and premature, and should be postponed until Margaritaville at Sea determines what the traffic will bear. Sure, with more training and time using a permanent crew the service necessarily will improve. But for the present, the word I'd use is "sad."

This would be pperfect gor me. Z perdon eho hates crowds and fear of long periods at the deep sea far from civilization and shores. In addition many bahamian natives use to go to the ststes to shop and bring back essentials cheaply as too expensive to fly for them to do these things. Prior to the retirement of the discovery shipthat went regularly to ft Lauderdale port i think it wa, this the next best deal. Especially for those who hate snd afrsid to fly. I also think important to offer cruises for a wider price range as this does so more perdons are afforded yhe experience. The tickets for travel and sleep accommodations are rather cheap so im not surprised at upcharge. On the other cruises are hundreds snd thousands more so of course more inclusive. Yo sound like you are paying comparable with no upcharge which is not so. You rxpect slot for do little it seems. It cost for all these updates ehich could never compete with modern day. They are hust trying to salvage and give experience for those who can appreciate some simplicity, less crowd and cost effectiveness of whst you chose.
