Doesnt seem too bad for a short cheap getaway. Of course you can get a MUCH higher quality cruise product but sometimes you just want a change of pace. This seems like a great opportunity to just chill out and enjoy being on the ocean in the most casual way possible. It has its place...
We absolutely loved it. We loved that there wasn't as much to do, as it forced us to just chill and relax without worrying about missing out on something. We actually drove about 14 hrs. Because of the drive we did b2b. We spent the first day in Freeport at the Taino resort and the second day we just walked over to the other port area for a bit and then hung out on the ship. Seriously considering making the drive for another b2b because we enjoyed it so much.
Hey Guys, thanks for keeping it real about your experience on the Margaritaville Cruise! Seems like they're targeting a certain type of cruiser, definitely not seasoned ones. It's kinda funny how they offer cheap trips but then nickel and dime you for everything else. Your feedback is super appreciated. Thanks for sharing!
Nah it’s definitely not for seasoned cruises lol but that’s ok. If you want a quick weekend trip and you live close to the port, might be worth it. Other than that, I wouldn’t travel for this
@@TravelSpreeOfficial i wouldn't even go on this if i lived right next door to the port! i could get on a RCCl cruise for 2-3 days and have much better food
At 5:29, when you said ". . . and look, the elevators are free!" I thought you were talking about not having to pay a fee to use them! I mean, after the $100 "Drink Package" -- that's where my mind went! At 22:23, your joke about Margaritaville at Sea being a "cat friendly cruise" was hilarious (and spot on)!
Did you know that the bracelets are good for the next margaritaville cruise? We go every year because my husband is a disabled vet and he can only handle a short amount of time away from a hospital. My drink package has lasted three trips.
Been waiting for this! I don't know why I'm so fascinated with this cruise ship fail, but to see my favorite (and most stylish) cruise bloggers giving a video is amazing!
I've been on a bunch of cruises, mostly Disney cruises. You really can't compare them. But my 2 teenage daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the Margaritaville cruise. We had so much fun. I am a Nurse and took advantage of the free cruise. We live 1 hour away and will definitely do it again. The food on the buffet was good. Dinner was great. If you are looking for bougie, don't go. If your looking for fun, go! SO MUCH FUN!!!
Love you both! Idk how this hit my algorithm considering I don’t follow anything travel related but I’m glad it did! I do see travel vlogs that are clearly people trying to act like they’re living the lifestyle of the rich and the famous but I loved the opening you guys have of that “you didn’t have to take time off work”. Very relatable! Can’t wait to binge watch more :)
We think this ship gets a bad rap. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you go in with an open mind you can have a good time. We enjoyed our time on it... especially for the price.
My buddy and I cruised for his birthday in Oct 2023 and there were no smells and very strong drinks. The food was A OK. The nightclub closes at 2am which was surprising. The slots actually payout and all the card dealers are awesome and friendly. The staff was on point 100% of the time, even being nice to the drunks. For the price you cant beat this cruise. It is not a Princess cruise. We had a very good time even though the pool is pretty small. Especially if you live close to West Palm.
The hospital cafeteria smell and the public bathroom smell is a deal breaker for sure. Thanks for including that info! The way a hotel, cruise, etc... smell is a huge part of the overall experience.
"It smells kind of weird in here." Uh oh. Love Laura's description: "smells like suntan lotion and maraschino cherries". I can't place that on a particular cruise line, but I "got" it right away! Kudos for your ability to invoke that, Laura! Sounds like the package was the way to go to save at least 30 or so bucks, but I'm not loving the cost to quality ratio.
I’ve never been on a cruise but I feel like this is on the line of the dead mall series where there’s a few anchor stores holding up the mostly abandoned mall
You're the first review for Margaritaville I watched. I didn't even realize until your video ended that it was 33 minutes long. You two are informative and entertaining to watch.
We went on the Margaritaville at Sea March 24-26. We have been on many cruises on Royal, MSC, and others. We LOVED Margaritaville at sea. The drinks are VERY strong. All our drinks were in pint glasses or 16oz plastic and they were half alcohol half other juice etc. WAY stronger than Royal and twice the size. You should have ordered Hurricanes, you would not have been disappointed. There was NEVER a line for elevator or anywhere else. We will definitely be back. Casino was also awesome and I was able to play Texas Holden cash game for 4 hours straight with no reservation. Highly recommend if you want a chill vibe and no wait for anything.
My husband and I went on this cruise. We cruise a lot. Were not bothered at all. We knew up front it wasn't a luxury cruise, so no surprises at what we saw. Bed was comfortable, food was ok, show was good, party was fun. Another get away! All ships nickel and dime you. Cruise was like any other, but ship was older and smaller. No complaints.
I just came across this vid while researching Margaritaville at Sea. You two are delightful! And Love the honest evaluation. Happy Cruising you gained a new subscriber!
It's funny that you said that the bathroom smelled like cleaning products on top of poop. Because Ben and David did a review of Margaritaville too and said that the whole ship smelled like poo to them too.
Their water was the worst part of the trip. Bring your own water or drinks for the ship. Next, the employees on the ship do not want to be there and you can feel and see their despair. Many different things are dysfunctional and had to make things work. For example, we had to make a barricade with towels for the the shower. The shower curtain did no go to the floor and quickly ended up flooding the bathroom and the cabin without the barricades. The port was depressing since there is not much to do and it is a little walk to get to the port shops. Would like to make a note. If you're a person of the rainbow variety, this is not the crowd for you. The employees were friendly but the cruisers were not. It was a lot of hate while trapped on this ship.
We enjoyed ourselves. Good food. Great crew. Super comfortable bed. No weird odors. We were on Deck 7. Going again in June. I have been on Carnival and NCL. I live locally, so I can Uber to the ship in 10 minutes. Very convenient for us. It’s older, but well maintained and clean. Watch how you spend your money and read everything upfront. There shouldn’t be any surprises. I recommend it. ❤
This is the first video of yours I am watching. I really like the good vibes I am getting. I have been on about four cruises. Three were Carnival and one was Norwegian. I am going on another cruise in September. I would have asked the bartender if they put booze in your drink, or I would watch them make it. So far it doesn't seem like a bad cruise, but not one that you are not truly enjoying.
The Hannah Montana intro had me doing a TikTok dance. Lol. Fain when you said they ran out of budget on the way up, I was weak.😂 I wanted to give this ship a try, now I’m side-eyeing it. I appreciate the honest review.
Its so sad to see how this ship degraded so much ☹️ It was mine and my parents favourite cruise ship as it was not crowded at all, very good food and comfortable. I went on this boat when it was from Costa, both named Costa Classica (did 5 cruises under that name) and then another cruise when they refurbished it and rebranded it Costa NeoClassica. A great ship, and will for sure be missed.. It was nice though seeing it on your videos.. We loved especially the alfresco top cafeteria and the bar where you did your muster station drill, and lastly the back pool (mostly the jacuzzis) were amazing! Never crowded whatsoever.
Every video I've watched about this cruise line mentions the icky smells. I wish they hadn't used such an old ship for this brand, because I love the margaritaville brand. I might break down and try one of these one day, even with the weird smells!
This was really helpful thanks. I live in the UK and the company are recruiting for staff. I had never heard of the company so had a quick google and your video popped up. It’s not the kind of ship I was expecting 😂.
Y'all just too cute together. Laura, your dress is adorable. Don't you just love buying something you like, but don't have a place to wear it to yet and then, perfect. Just came across your channel! I am a seasoned cruiser and I have to tell you- I would have just overloaded on straight alcohol or jumped ship and I am not even a drinker. Thanks for your vid.
You both are ADORABLE! I stumbled upon your page scrolling RUclips, keep doing your thing...I love watching you both. Be safe out there and have a great time guys!
Found this video randomly! You both are so cute :) Loved the video. Very informative. I would never go on a cruise because I get sea sick :( But thanks for doing the homework for the rest of us!
Thank you for braving this so that we don't. As an avid cruiser.. this was appalling. And I am not bougie. But if Im going to pay money and be nickel and dimed to death... it had better be an experience. Great video, guys! Earned a sub
Those are really cute outfits Laura (Or is it Lauren?)! I've not purchased anything from Shein yet because I keep hearing so many things about them, but there's a lot of cute stuff on their Shein Curve site that I'd like to get lol...I just don't wanna pay for something that could be damaging the environment and they might possibly be mistreating their employees? I dunno. But yeah, I especially liked the second outfit that was really cute!!! I'd be mad at the smells for sure, I too am hypersensitive to smells and people always give me weird looks when I say I can smell something (even from miles away) haha. I can also describe exactly what I smell down to a T. Fain you're speaking my language with Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! LOL. I laughed and cringed when L said it smelled like cleaning products on top of poop lmfao. I've never been on a cruise before, they look fun but I have anxiety when it comes to the ocean so I dunno.
Thanks for your honest review of the Margaritaville cruise ship. If I may make one suggestion is for you to invest in a Steadicam or other people call it a gimbal The Bouncing is in jerkiness of your videos our little bit hard to watch. It maybe just me.
Same!! I’m not sure how or why this showed up in my algorithm cuz I’m a true crime junkie! Lol but I “hit” the subscribe button and I’m binge watching your channel now ❤😂
It is amazing how expensive soda pop costs considering that it is extremely cheap to buy and even more so in bulk. A 25 cent can of coke goes for $3, which is absurd.
Having sailed on that ship a couple of times, if I go it’s just to get away for a quick minute. I did buy that Margaritaville sweat shirt which I totally love! The pizza to me was pretty yummy, and the games they played were pretty funny. Overall I’d keep going.
Just found your channel and love y’all! As I am watching this segment, I felt the ship looked familiar and I knew as soon as I saw the small square swimming pool - I knew it! This is a former Costa Cruises ship. Back when I was a travel agent, I booked my former in-laws on this cruise ship in the late 90s 😳 and then I found myself on this ship in 2017 when a girl friend broke up with her boyfriend and asked me to join her. Other than tossing around a bunch of Buffet-themed decor it appears to be the same.
You are correct about the history of this ship! I heard or read that information when I did a little bit of research about where the ship sails. If I were local to Palm Beach I might be more of an advocate for the "weekend getaway". I also think if I were local, I could get more bang for my buck on a 3 or 4 day cruise using a larger company. Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions! Take care!
In australia, apart from the newer monster cruise ships, you see a few repainted, renewed, older by decades ; and with a new name. But if you sail from one city to another, where they're going to pick up the start of the cruise. Its mostly empty and great.
I know someone who did this cruise said the ship was dated food was good bathroom ,room and some hallways smelled like poop .not a lot of activities so if you're looking for a cheap vacation why not
The food was great there..the bed was the most comfy bed of all the other cruise lines ive tried so far. The shower water pressure was greatThe staff was friendly, the people/crowd was lively but other than that Margaritaville at sea is a one and done for me. But so thankful for that cruise...they were the 1st cruiseline to drop the vax mandates and allow the unvaxed. They need to revamp their ship..have more amenities and go to an additional destination.
No no no. Margaritaville is the hood trap house of the seas that sells alcohol and cigarettes along with illegal drugs if Carnival is the Walmart of the seas. Don't disrespect Carnival like that lol.
This ship leaves from the port of Palm Beach, not West Palm Beach. It’s from 1990, therefore, it’s pretty old. I personally worked on this ship when it was called the Costa Classica!! They just redecorated the ship but most plumbing is still very old and they have not kept up with it. That is why it smells and they sell it like a cheap cruise but you have to pay for many extra charges.
Firstly… Laura looks STUNIIIIIIIIIIIING in that pink Co-ord set. Second.. Just found you guys in my suggested and already big fan after binge watching 4 videos at 0330 in London, UK 🤦🏻♀️🤣 Big love 🖤
For Celsius...you take Fahrenheit number, subtract 13 and divide by 2.....so 80°F would be (80-13=67 /2 = 33°C) So we set out air conditioning around 18 at home during the summer- ❤
I would never ever set foot on a cruise ship, and got very claustrophobic just watching your video. Best thing about the video was how cute of a couple you two are!
So happy yall are in Florida now. Hope to run into you on a cruise. They were offering absolutely free cruises for teachers....I still passed on it. It's a nope!
So, that is the business model: lure alcoholics aboard with a name like Margaritaville and then charge them ruinous prices for watered down drinks. They will make a fortune.
Well, I guess I can cross that off my list. I've cruised a lot, and from all that you described (especially the food - that's a big part of crusing for me ), this would not be a cruise for me. Thanks
Wow the price of those shots! You just bought that whole bottle of Patron. I can't do shots.I went on that for my Daughters bachelorette weekend. 4 years ago. It was paradise at seas then. It wasn't too bad. Decor looks much better now. The 2nd day they were grilling brisket and chicken. It was good. The drinks were strong and like 10.00 each. It wasn't bad for a quick getaway.
The drinks are still super strong. Instead of complaining to a camera he should have asked the bartender for a Stong drink! He would have got a strong drink, believe me! 4 Hurricanes or Long Islands and you will be taking a good nap. Since when is a Margarita supposed to be strong? He needs to learn what to order.
Hey love the Channel you guys are a breath of fresh air love the honesty just to put it out there me and my girlfriend will be sailing the islander on 5-2-25 it would be so cool to sail with you two hope to see you there.
I love Shein. Literally gonna order that outfit you had on at the beginning of video! Lol. Love the vibes of y'all both. Beautiful couple! I'm a new subbie!

Their customer targets for the cruises are people who go to the time share meetings, the cruise is free if you sit through a 2 hour sales pitch
Hmmm maybe I don't know 🤷🏼♀️
@@TravelSpreeOfficialdid you guys make a part two? Please link
I would seriously pay attention to a muster drill on this ship. Lol.
At 5:29, when you said ". . . and look, the elevators are free!" I thought you were talking about not having to pay a fee to use them!

I watch other cruise channels but you two are the most fun and natural on camera. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!! That means a lot ❤️
So true, so sweet, so cute.

@@thecanadiancaribou Travel is travel love. All travel matters 😉 Idk why you replied to me, I just said I enjoyed the cruise.
@@thecanadiancaribou I’m a travel agent love, I’m always in the go 🥰
So the free for heroes really works?!
@@sabrinamarkham8715 Yes however you pay the taxes. It’s not completely free
Love you both! Idk how this hit my algorithm considering I don’t follow anything travel related but I’m glad it did!

Watching later but I’d take this cruise. Not gonna lie. Any cruise is better than no cruise. IMO
This is going to be a no for me dawg
😂
😂
Real talk
No disrespect to y’all but the room looked dirty. And the bathroom 🤮 god bless y’all
Does she know he's gay?
We think this ship gets a bad rap. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you go in with an open mind you can have a good time. We enjoyed our time on it... especially for the price.
Y'all are awesome. Kudos to both of you for being able to still have fun. So many people would have just stayed miserable the entire time.
My buddy and I cruised for his birthday in Oct 2023 and there were no smells and very strong drinks. The food was A OK. The nightclub closes at 2am which was surprising.

I actually think I'd do this cruise if I lived in Florida, just to see for myself. I'll try anything once, usually.😅
It doesn't seem that bad
Went on this cruise twice. Loved it both times. Good time to relax and this is coming from a younger person.
Great video. I have started to order drinks with the shot/alcohol in a separate cup. That way you know how much alcohol you actually get!
You're the first review for Margaritaville I watched. I didn't even realize until your video ended that it was 33 minutes long. You two are informative and entertaining to watch.

Would like to make a note. If you're a person of the rainbow variety, this is not the crowd for you. The employees were friendly but the cruisers were not. It was a lot of hate while trapped on this ship.
My son took me on my first cruise on Adventure of the Seas with his son, my grandson. Time of my life.
I dont think I can love these 2 anymore than I do now! Im 6 minutes in on my 1st video ever! These 2 are the cutest!
Pay $299 for the room, pay $999 for all the drinks outside the package.
It was the “cleaning products on top of poop for me” 🤢
HEY TS!!! I see y'all have made it to 21k and counting... so proud to be able to witness the growth. Started from the bottom now we're here!
Hey Paige!! Thankful to have had you with us on this journey ❤️
We enjoyed ourselves. Good food. Great crew. Super comfortable bed. No weird odors. We were on Deck 7. Going again in June. I have been on Carnival and NCL. I live locally, so I can Uber to the ship in 10 minutes. Very convenient for us. It’s older, but well maintained and clean. Watch how you spend your money and read everything upfront. There shouldn’t be any surprises. I recommend it. ❤
The correct term for that smell is ¨mutant funk!¨ Sounds like a really good deal for a quick weekend getaway!
This is the first video of yours I am watching. I really like the good vibes I am getting. I have been on about four cruises. Three were Carnival and one was Norwegian. I am going on another cruise in September. I would have asked the bartender if they put booze in your drink, or I would watch them make it.

I just found this random video from y'all. I'm excited to see more from you guys. Yall are adorable 🙂 thanks so much for sharing your experiences 💗
That boat almost ruined my desire to cruise Ughhh!!!! I was SO glad I caught covid in the Bahamas and couldn’t travel back on it!
Kristina and Vynessa are taking me on this cruise in May. It will be my very first cruise. I recognize you guys from Vanessa’s videos.
You 2 are the cutest. Do people say that you have similar smiles? ❤ New subscriber.
No one’s ever told us that, but now we kind of see it 😂 Thanks for subscribing!! Glad to have you here 😊
The Hannah Montana intro had me doing a TikTok dance. Lol. Fain when you said they ran out of budget on the way up, I was weak.😂 I wanted to give this ship a try, now I’m side-eyeing it. I appreciate the honest review.
Great video, love the honesty! If I ever go on there i'm stopping at a liquor store first for a bag full of single hitters.

We were on the Emerald Princess, they have a beautiful full library.
This actually looked like a cruise Id enjoy. The other ships I've been on were too over the top. This ship looks like relaxation.
Every video I've watched about this cruise line mentions the icky smells. I wish they hadn't used such an old ship for this brand, because I love the margaritaville brand. I might break down and try one of these one day, even with the weird smells!
Enjoyed the video great information. We were undecided on cruising with Margaritaville you helped us a lot thanks look forward to more of your videos.
Glad we could help! Overall, we recommend it if you live close to the port. If not, then no haha
This was really helpful thanks. I live in the UK and the company are recruiting for staff. I had never heard of the company so had a quick google and your video popped up. It’s not the kind of ship I was expecting 😂.
You guys are a ball of fun- cheered me up on a friday night after a tough week- thanks!
Thanks for reviewing this Cruise Line. I’ve seen a lot of ads on RUclips for this, probably as I live in Palm Beach County and YT knows this.
Thanks for the review. I’m sure it’s like Laura had said earlier. It’s like a week end get away. Only problem, I’m a balcony kind of cruiser.
This is surely the most real cruise review have seen. I just subscribed. Thank you for keeping it real!
I look forward to seeing more of you. You seem like a lovely couple. The video made me feel like going on an adventure of my own.
Ever had the "free lunch" from a timeshare? That's what that food reminded me of. Lol
Oh no, is that what’s it’s like??
Y'all just too cute together. Laura, your dress is adorable. Don't you just love buying something you like, but don't have a place to wear it to yet and then, perfect.
Just came across your channel!
I am a seasoned cruiser and I have to tell you- I would have just overloaded on straight alcohol or jumped ship and I am not even a drinker. Thanks for your vid.
That seating area by the windows in the hall legit remind me of my cruise on the carnival liberty
In reviews that’s one of the top complaints is the ship rooms smell like poop. I’ll pass this cruise up. Free would cost too much for me.
"First cruise of 2023" Must be nice, If I do a Cruise every 8-10 years I consider myself blessed
You both are ADORABLE! I stumbled upon your page scrolling RUclips, keep doing your thing...I love watching you both. Be safe out there and have a great time guys!

It is amazing how expensive soda pop costs considering that it is extremely cheap to buy and even more so in bulk. A 25 cent can of coke goes for $3, which is absurd.
Having sailed on that ship a couple of times, if I go it’s just to get away for a quick minute. I did buy that Margaritaville sweat shirt which I totally love! The pizza to me was pretty yummy, and the games they played were pretty funny. Overall I’d keep going.
Yes! Agree with you on the pizza. I keep thinking about it lol
That looks like the Motel 6 of cruising.
Exactly…
Just found your channel and love y’all! As I am watching this segment, I felt the ship looked familiar and I knew as soon as I saw the small square swimming pool - I knew it! This is a former Costa Cruises ship. Back when I was a travel agent, I booked my former in-laws on this cruise ship in the late 90s 😳 and then I found myself on this ship in 2017 when a girl friend broke up with her boyfriend and asked me to join her. Other than tossing around a bunch of Buffet-themed decor it appears to be the same.
You are correct about the history of this ship! I heard or read that information when I did a little bit of research about where the ship sails. If I were local to Palm Beach I might be more of an advocate for the "weekend getaway". I also think if I were local, I could get more bang for my buck on a 3 or 4 day cruise using a larger company. Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions! Take care!
In australia, apart from the newer monster cruise ships, you see a few repainted, renewed, older by decades ; and with a new name. But if you sail from one city to another, where they're going to pick up the start of the cruise. Its mostly empty and great.
The way to get good drinks is buy the souvenir cup and pay 4 dollars extra for each drink, on top of your drink package.
New TeeShirt to Wife.... ITS JUICE! has alll kinds of connotations!! love it..
Love this comment 😂
i haven't seen 1 vlog that has liked this cruise!
I know someone who did this cruise said the ship was dated food was good bathroom ,room and some hallways smelled like poop .not a lot of activities so if you're looking for a cheap vacation why not
The food was great there..the bed was the most comfy bed of all the other cruise lines ive tried so far. The shower water pressure was greatThe staff was friendly, the people/crowd was lively but other than that Margaritaville at sea is a one and done for me. But so thankful for that cruise...they were the 1st cruiseline to drop the vax mandates and allow the unvaxed. They need to revamp their ship..have more amenities and go to an additional destination.
If Carnival is Wal-Mart of the Sea then this ship is Spirit Airlines of the Sea. Lol! It's a no for me.
Lol I said that too 😂
No no no. Margaritaville is the hood trap house of the seas that sells alcohol and cigarettes along with illegal drugs if Carnival is the Walmart of the seas. Don't disrespect Carnival like that lol.
You guys are the best! So glad I found your channel. Laughing along with ya😅
That looks like a hot mess of a ship, even for a short get away. Great honest look!
Thanks friends!
I've never seen these guys before. They are great! Keep it up peeps. I wish the world for you! Couple goals❤❤❤
This ship leaves from the port of Palm Beach, not West Palm Beach. It’s from 1990, therefore, it’s pretty old. I personally worked on this ship when it was called the Costa Classica!! They just redecorated the ship but most plumbing is still very old and they have not kept up with it. That is why it smells and they sell it like a cheap cruise but you have to pay for many extra charges.
You guys are adorable. Love this!
Thank you!!
You both are the loveliest couple. I love your videos.
Thank you so much!
Not the greatest cruise video I've ever seen but you guys made it nice to watch and a lovely couple you guys make.
Let us know the greatest one so we can get in on that joy!
Firstly… Laura looks STUNIIIIIIIIIIIING in that pink Co-ord set.
Second.. Just found you guys in my suggested and already big fan after binge watching 4 videos at 0330 in London, UK 🤦🏻♀️🤣
Big love 🖤
If you're traveling with teens and you pay for 2 nights at kids camp they include the unlimited soda package. It's 49 one night $69 for 2.
For Celsius...you take Fahrenheit number, subtract 13 and divide by 2.....so 80°F would be (80-13=67 /2 = 33°C)
So we set out air conditioning around 18 at home during the summer- ❤
🤯🤯🤯 never knew that! Thank you!! So that would be 49 degrees Fahrenheit?
@@TravelSpreeOfficial yes!! 😊
There are farenheit to Celsius and vice a versa converters on Google
Great video! I’d probably try margaritaville if it was free, but I’ll stick to my carnival casino offers for now lol.
I would never ever set foot on a cruise ship, and got very claustrophobic just watching your video. Best thing about the video was how cute of a couple you two are!
Thank you! You might prefer our Portugal or Bermuda videos instead
So happy yall are in Florida now. Hope to run into you on a cruise. They were offering absolutely free cruises for teachers....I still passed on it. It's a nope!
So, that is the business model: lure alcoholics aboard with a name like Margaritaville and then charge them ruinous prices for watered down drinks. They will make a fortune.
lmao😂
Well, I guess I can cross that off my list. I've cruised a lot, and from all that you described (especially the food - that's a big part of crusing for me ), this would not be a cruise for me. Thanks
Wow the price of those shots! You just bought that whole bottle of Patron. I can't do shots.I went on that for my Daughters bachelorette weekend. 4 years ago. It was paradise at seas then. It wasn't too bad. Decor looks much better now. The 2nd day they were grilling brisket and chicken. It was good. The drinks were strong and like 10.00 each. It wasn't bad for a quick getaway.
$10 and strong?? That’s the kind of drink I like haha
The drinks are still super strong. Instead of complaining to a camera he should have asked the bartender for a Stong drink! He would have got a strong drink, believe me! 4 Hurricanes or Long Islands and you will be taking a good nap. Since when is a Margarita supposed to be strong? He needs to learn what to order.
Hey love the Channel you guys are a breath of fresh air love the honesty just to put it out there me and my girlfriend will be sailing the islander on 5-2-25 it would be so cool to sail with you two hope to see you there.
Not crazy about the drink prices or the rooms but I really like the deck
You guys are such an adorable couple! Great vibes, I would hang with you anywhere 👏🙏✌️
Ditto!
You guys are so sweet! I've never seen your videos before - will subscribe now😊
I love Shein. Literally gonna order that outfit you had on at the beginning of video! Lol. Love the vibes of y'all both. Beautiful couple! I'm a new subbie!
