Margaritaville At Sea Offers Unlimited Cruise Pass

If you enjoy cruise vacations, Margaritaville At Sea is offering an unlimited cruise pass for the rest of 2023.

I've never been on a cruise, but plan on going (finally!) sometime this year. What I love about where we live when it comes to cruising, is that it's just a short drive to the ports in Palm Beach, Miami or Fort Lauderdale, so no additional money needs to be spent on flying. Also love the idea of jumping on a boat and getting out of the country for a few days.

Margaritaville At Sea just announced that they are going to start offering an unlimited cruise subscription for trips to the Bahamas. The “Ultimate Paradise Pass” starts at $899 and allows travelers to cruise on the Margaritaville At Sea Paradise as many times as they want on non-consecutive two-night stays throughout 2023. AND it allows you to bring a friend for free!

You'll have to move fast, as there is a limited quantity of just 500 passes on sale now. The only "catch" if you will is that when using the pass, you can only book 24-72 hours ahead of time. Usually I need a little more time than that to arrange a dog sitter, day off work, etc. But if none of that applies and you're super flexible, I think this is an amazing deal. On their website now, per person, you can find cruises for as low as $101 up to $389, so it's already priced very well if you just want to do one.

Of course, as on any cruise ship, you'll find plenty of bars and restaurants, entertainment, a spa, casino and excursions. And because it's Margaritaville, I'm sure no shortage of frozen concoctions to help you hang on.

Margaritaville at Sea’s President and CEO Kevin Sheehan, Jr. explained, “This is completely new to the cruise industry. Now, passengers can buy a season pass to paradise and enjoy long walks on the beach throughout the year.  Thanks to our unique two-night itinerary, the groundbreaking 'Ultimate Paradise Pass' will give avid cruisers a new way to experience unlimited getaways to The Bahamas."
