Margaritaville at Sea is “mass-market cruising.” Of course, a line with only 3 ships is hard to categorize as mass-market anything, but mass-market and casual are synonyms in the cruise industry. The idea here is “island life”. Less party, more relaxation. You might think a cruise line with alcohol in its name would be adults only, but this cruise line considers kids to be part of the family. Kids like island life too. Here is why you might choose Margaritaville at Sea:
- You are looking for something less active, but still cheap.
- This line is reasonably priced and not about nightlife. It is about a calm lounging experience with a drink at your side.
- You have kids traveling with you.
- They divide kids into 4 age groups instead of the standard 3. This means more focused activities. While MSC offers 5 groups, 4 is still better than 3.
Here is why you might not want to sail with Margaritaville at Sea:
- You like the hectic nightlife atmosphere that is available on other lines.
- Not all lines push the nightlife, but they have it in no short supply. This line is not about partying into the night, it is about living on island time.
- You want big, special amenities.
- As a small cruise line, they just don’t have that kind of thing. The ships are smaller, especially compared to their passenger capacities. So, you simply don’t get things like a roller coaster or go-karts.
- You want destination options.
- This line only sails in the Caribbean region at this time. Unsurprising, as they have only 3 ships.
