In this episode of the Where We Roam Podcast, John and Dayna spill the (salt-rimmed) tea on the newly renovated Margaritaville at Sea Islander. After a $150 million refresh and a wave of influencer hype, does this tropical-themed cruise deliver paradise—or disappointment?
Dayna breaks down her 5-night cruise from Tampa to Key West and Cozumel, covering everything from refurbished rooms and Jimmy Buffett-themed decor to murky pool water, drink package surprises, and sushi served... during karaoke? 😅
We compare the Islander to other budget-friendly cruise options from Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and NCL, and give our take on who this cruise is really for (hint: fans of flip-flops, frozen drinks, and zero stress).
