Margaritaville Islander: Is This Budget Cruise Worth It?
Is Margaritaville at Sea Islander worth booking? After more than 50 cruises, I tried a five-night Caribbean sailing from Tampa—and this budget cruise surprised me. The food, entertainment and uncrowded pool areas impressed me, but embarkation and unreliable Wi-Fi let the experience down. In this Margaritaville Islander review, I share my experience of the balcony cabin, dining, drinks, pools, activities, casino and service. I explain what worked, what didn’t and who I think would enjoy this ship, so you can decide whether it suits your next cruise.
