I’ve always been a girl up for an adventure, so when I saw the viral Margaritaville At Sea cruise for only $50, I had to do it and it was awesome.
I’ve been talking about going on a cruise for the longest time. I’ve done a lot of traveling, but my experience in going to other countries has been primarily to all-inclusive resorts. I wanted to try something new and with a variety of ports within just a few hours drive from Fort Myers, I started doing some research and came across a deal I couldn’t pass up. Margaritaville At Sea was on sale for $99- Buy One Get One Free. So I called up a friend and she immediately said “Yes!” How do you pass up a weekend getaway to the Bahamas for $50?! Let me tell you, it was the best decision I made so far this year.
The Margaritaville At Sea Cruise Was Only $50?
It was only after I booked the cruise that I went on Tik-Tok and saw the reviews that have gone viral. “Oh no”, I thought, “What did I get myself into?” But I also know with reviews that people are more likely to go on and leave negative feedback than positive.
And boy was I right. I had the BEST time. And it was worth way more than what I paid. Now, in total, yes it was more than $50. You have your port fees, taxes, gas, drink package, excursion, etc. But I was all in for just over $400, which you can’t get 2 nights at a hotel for that. Not to mention the fact that I got to check out another country for a day!
The Margaritaville At Sea cruise ship leaves from Riviera Beach and goes to Freeport- Grand Bahama. The food was great, with a variety of dining options, the drinks were strong, the casino was fun (and I won!) and the entertainment was wonderful. Highly recommend the Sail Away party and the shows in the theater. There’s even a night club if you want to keep the party going all night long.
I was also impressed with the number of excursions to choose from. Everything from laid back city tours to a day at a resort to adventures like swimming with the pigs, zip-lining and ATV’s. I went snorkeling and kayaking at Paradise Cove and loved every second of it.
While I don’t have another cruise to compare it to, I am definitely already planning on going again. It was such a blast!
They have deals all the time and have cruises from West Palm Beach and soon Tampa. Check out their website here
