What is the Margaritaville Paradise?įormerly Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line's flagship vessel, the Margaritaville Paradise is an older ship, built in 1991.


Two of my best girlfriends and I were headed on a two-night sailing aboard the ship and we could not wait to experience the newest edition to Margaritaville's growing travel empire.

Sure, there was the odd complaint about extra charges (port taxes and fees exist on any cruise line) or the occasional person who didn't find drinking margaritas from a blender souvenir cup to be their scene, but overall, the fans of Margaritaville at Sea seemed to outweigh the naysayers. Everywhere I turned, people were saying Margaritaville at Sea was just plain fun. I joined private Facebook groups filled with fans of the line, watched hours of YouTube videos from past sailings and talked to friends who'd already sailed aboard the Paradise. Many sailings on the line's booking calendar start at around $100 per guest, leaving this frequent cruiser questioning what I was getting myself into. Unlike its competitors, sailing on the Margaritaville Paradise seems downright cheap. In the weeks leading up to my first voyage aboard the Margaritaville at Sea cruise line, I was lost in research.

Aboard Margaritaville at Sea, guests sail to the Bahamas and back for an extremely low price.
