Margaritaville At Sea Islander Full Review: What We Loved, Didn’t Love, and Hated

Join us for the ultimate review of Margaritaville At Sea's newest flagship, Islander! We tell you everything. Learn about the food, drinks, entertainment, ship design, and what we loved, didn't love, and hated! Plus, join us as we bust some myths about what we found to be an issue versus inaugural growing pains.

When Margaritaville At Sea announced they were adding a second ship, we booked the inaugural sailing the moment it became available. You may recall from our Margaritaville At Sea Paradise Full Review that we really enjoyed ourselves, however, experienced a pretty big deal breaker. We wanted to see how Islander compared and how the cruise line addressed issues we had with our first sailing.

Of course, like our inaugural sailing on Carnival Firenze, we knew that just one cruise wouldn't be enough to capture everything we wanted to do - so we booked the second sailing ("inaugural junior" as we call it) - and I'm so glad we did. Even across the two sailings, we still didn't get to try everything we wanted to!

We hope you enjoy this review as much as we enjoyed putting it together. We'd love to hear from you - what did you like the most in the review? Were there any myths that you heard about that were busted in our Full Review? Would you sail on Margaritaville At Sea Islander?

A special thank you to all of our followers that said hello across the two sailings. It was an absolute honor and pleasure getting to spend some time hearing about your cruise experiences. We met everyone from first-time cruisers to cruise pros and it was amazing to hear what YOU thought about this ship!

As always, thank you for being part of our journey. We can't wait to tell you even more about our experiences on board.

In case you missed it, we did a full deck-by-deck comparison of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander to the Carnival Miracle. Both ships are part of the Spirit-class and feature very similar layouts:    • Margaritaville At Sea Islander First ...
