Margaritaville At Sea Islander launched and we've put together a full tour of all the public spaces on board. This quick tour brings you from the top of the ship on Deck 12 all the way down to Deck 1 highlighting all the things that are waiting for you on board Margaritaville At Sea Islander!
We share with you the spaces we love the most and point out how the Margaritaville At Sea pays homage to the past by keeping in certain elements and Easter-eggs for cruise lovers. This Spirit-class ship originally sailed for Costa Cruises as the Costa Atlantica before being transformed during an extensive dry dock that brought in new venues and experiences aboard.
If you've sailed any of the Carnival Spirit-class ships, you'll feel right at home here! To help you orient yourself as we go through the tour, we provide deck plan images throughout the video - those are all courtesy of Margaritaville At Sea.
The inaugural sailing was a true blessing for Rocky and me. We met so many people on board and got to experience things we've never done before in all of our cruises. It was truly a cruise we will never forget. We hope that this tour gives you just a little bit of an idea for what's in store on Margaritaville At Sea Islander!
Stay tuned for our FULL REVIEW which we'll publish once our second sailing is complete. We've been busy taking notes and will share everything we loved, didn't love, and hated.

Looks like MAS stepped up their game with this one! Even though she’s old, still a beautiful ship!

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

It’s 100% true! A departure from Paradise, for sure!

I really like the way you put the deck layout graphic next to the video, really helps my brain picture everything, very smart!!!

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the kinds words! We sometimes find it hard on tours to figure out where someone is on the ship, so we started overlaying the deck plans. It’s a lot more time consuming, but it’s rewarding to hear that it helps!! :) -m

We 💯 agree! They did a fantastic job at refitting her. Really love what they’ve done.

Best thing about this video? BOTH of YOU!!! You did a great job of showcasing the ship. The slides and narr. of it was great. I did subscribe, so I'll be following you guys. Thank you and I will soon be on a trip where both of you are and we can have a swell time.

You did a great job at speeding through the floors in a way that was understandable and insightful! I’m not a casino girl but I absolutely hate having to walk by or through the smoke, so I will enjoy it being non smoking. We sail in late September- gonna let them work out the first few kinks 😂😂😂

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

Great plan! It’s a beautiful ship and we’re loving watching it evolve. That smoke-free casino is amazing and it has allowed us to play a couple games without allergies kicking in.

I just found out Las Vegas Margaritaville is closed. We were going to visit Vegas in the few weeks. Thanks for your awesome videos!

@n3qtrtme 3 месяца назад

Wow. That makes me so sad. We’ve had some fun times there with the margarita overflowing and the mermaids getting us wet. Just damn.

Yeah! They just closed it a month or two ago. Perhaps they’ll come back to a different location soon.

Haha. Oh the memories! Just so difficult to keep up with all of the changes happening in Vegas these days!

Hey Guys, Tampa here. LOVE the Coral Reef Lounge. Carpet, seating and the coral on the walls. Great job. Can't wait to see it on the 23rd Aug. Looking for your next video. Sail safe on your second round aboard our MAS Islander.

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

Thank you! It’s a great ship and we’re impressed with the little touches throughout! Hope you have a great cruise!

@saxyben81 3 месяца назад

The ship is familiar from the Carnival ships (who own Costa for those who don’t know), so them keeping a lot of the set up from Costa is awesome. Definitely an upgrade from what I have seen from the MAS Paradise. I refused to sail on it, but this one has changed my mind about MAS. They spent some money on this one.

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

It really is different look and feel from Paradise. We’re having a great time and are excited to watch Margaritaville at Sea continue expand with this addition. They’ve got the right idea and will continue to get better!

Thanks, Rocky & Mark, for a REALLY informative video on the Islander, which we are booked on next week. BTW - Being a videographer myself I REALLY appreciate that you guys used time lapse along with insert views of the deck plans to tell the story efficiently while still being your entertaining selves. Thanks!

I noticed that layout of this ship looks exactly like the Spirit class of Carnival ships.

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

That's a great observation! We love the Spirit-class and as soon as we learned about that we recorded a video comparing this ship to the Carnival Miracle. You should check it out if you haven't already: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pHmWXKPmGv4.html

Love how they incorporate all of Jimmy's songs everywhere on the ship. 🦈Love the color and the vibe of the ship. She look beautiful. I can't wait to sail in November. Great overview of the Islander. I am sure they have a few things to work out, but I feel confident it will be fine.🦈🍹🍹🍹🍹

It looks like they pulled it off with this ship. Appears they did a deep refurb and not just slapped some paint on everything like with Paradise.

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

It’s definitely apparent that they put a lot of time and thought into the design of this ship public space. Even the cabins were overhauled. It looks great!

@michellerutkunas7902 3 месяца назад

on the waterslide rules, it says that it is for kids 12+ .... did you see that this was enforced? OR did you see kids that looked younger on it?

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

We didn’t see them checking any IDs while we were back there. ;) With that said, after an injury on the next to last day of our sailing, the water slide was shut down. I would imagine they are going to be more rigorous going forward on who can/can’t ride. Of course, we always recommend following all rules to ensure a safe and fun vacation experience! :) -mark

This looks like an actual cruise ship! As opposed to Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, which just looks sad…

@thiscruiselife 3 месяца назад

They did an amazing job. It’s clear they had a lot more creative control bringing in a new ship (versus inheriting what Bahamas Paradise already had). The spaces are all very intentional, and it’s one of our favorite classes of ships (Spirit). Definitely think they’ve got a competitor with this one!! -m
