I was on the ship a few weeks ago, I had a great time! A great ship for the money! I talked to a lot of those awesome crew members who told me they really enjoy working for this company.
Positive review, thanks. I applaud you for disclosing the special benefits the ship provided to you as cruise UA-camrs. Sometimes, these can twist opinions. However, in your case, the added benefits enabled a wider experience to review while remaining mostly impartial in your review.
I hope they do well. The big three need some competition right now thanks to price gouging, and MSC and Virgin have been eating into their market share, especially that of Norwegian who has been slipping recently. Maybe the Margaritaville group can do the same and provide customers with a cruising experience we used to get before the big three got greedy.
Oh that pizza looks SO good, we LOVE a thicker crust and NY style. YUMMMMMMMMM I love that I found out my husband can get a discount being a fire fighter under the Gov website we are included in. If you get the "food package" could you go to the same venue more than once? We don't eat sushi or seafood so could we go to the steakhouse more than once? or the upstairs main dining room? Really want to go on the Islander, much better reviews. Just wish they had longer than 4/5 days.Would have to add it to the front or back end of a cruise we already have booked to make it worth it since we live in Michigan and drive. My husband has issues with air travel due to his A.I. issues. We'd love to get my father in law to go with us, lol even though I'd have to deal with the "step" mom. Love him, her and I are fire and ice. For clarification I'm fire she's the Ice Queen.
How would you compare Islander to Paradise? It seems that Paradise received not many flattering reviews due to the ships older age and deferred maintenance. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!
We enjoyed our Paradise experience, but the ship felt like it was refreshed with a smaller budget, maybe due to COVID or who knows what. With Islander, it feels like they really put some money and thought into the updates!! :D
Atlantica definitely looks like an improvement to Bahamas Paradise. I am probably going to be onboard Islander at some point next year. Looking forward to it as I am a big fan of Carnival Legend and Miracle. Now for you guys, it is time to sale Adora Mediterranea.
Did I hear correctly that ALL the staff "retire" by working at Margaritaville cruises? Would that mean you'd get the most experienced service on this line?
Jimmy Buffett wrote in the song of the same name. "I like my with lettuce and tomato HEINZ 57 and french fried potatoes." From a branding, accuracy and in respect the man that made Margaritaville i find it very disappointing they do not offer get Heinz 57 on board. The "paradise" sauce being used is very similar to Big Mac sauce and that is just wrong. We ABSOLUTELY loved our time on the Islander except being able to enjoy a PROPER Cheeseburger in Paradise. We also loved the all the crew, shows and all in all a wonderful cruise. I hope and pray next one the HEINZ 57 will be right there beside the other stuff, ketchup, mayo, etc.

Thank you guys this was very informative
I just booked this ship based on your reviews!
Thank you so much for all of the Info! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
What a great review and series. I'm definitely willing to give the Islander a try now! I really like the Spirit class because the flow is really nice.
Thanks
Great review and video. Living in the Tampa area, was definitely thinking about taking this cruise. Now I’m convinced I should do it. Thanks. 👍🏻

This ship looks similar to carnival do you get the same perks just wondering if it is owned by carnival Corporation
No current connection to Carnival, but it used to be a Costa ship which is one of Carnival Corp’s other brands!!

They said abot thecstaff; they where tired of the rat race on the other lines.
Wifi good?

This is true! It's a bit of a missed opportunity to not have the lyrical sauce included at the toppings bar!! :O
Praying for Heinz 57? 😂 Oh OK. I am glad you don't have more serious things in life to pray for.
