- I went on a 5-night cruise aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Islander that began sailing this year.
- Its cabins and amenities are superior to Paradise, the first ship in the cruise line's fleet.
- Islander is a pretty great value overall, but it still left something to be desired for me.
Margaritaville at Sea had a rocky entrance into the cruise industry — but things could be looking up with its newest ship.
A partnership between Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line and Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, Margaritaville at Sea had its maiden voyage with Paradise in 2022.
