I wasn’t sure if the special dinner would be better on Night 1 or 2, but I’m glad we chose Night 1. We were all fresh and energized and ready to kick off the weekend in style, and JWB Steakhouse was perfect for it. In terms of dining options, the JWB Steakhouse is the premium choice and will set you back an upcharge – but it’s worth it for that special occasion. But if you have recently recovered from the virus, then the rules are relaxed.

Discover the dynamic Mexican duo in reverse, first visiting the untapped beauty of Progreso and finishing with Cozumel, and also beginning and ending with two days at sea. Grand Bahama Island is a haven of gorgeous white-sand beaches surrounded by crystal-clear waters that stretch for miles. Extend your vacation on land and stay at your choice of three premier partner resorts on Grand Bahama Island. Our newest Bahamas itinerary gives you more of what you crave with a full day on the open ocean to splash, dance and play the day away. On the second night of the cruise, I choose to dine at the buffet.

Convenient Port Canaveral “Park & Cruise” Hotels
There was plenty of storage for my belongings, as well as two robes to wear during my stay onboard. There's also a brand-new arcade for children and the young at heart, which can be found on Deck 8. The Fin City Arcade, which is open 24 hours a day, features new games, as well as a simulator and other video game experiences. One of the most interesting recreational amenities that was added in the 2023 renovation was an all-new outdoor Pickleball court located on Deck 12 above the main pool area at the front of the ship. While I was hosted onboard Margaritaville at Sea's Paradise, all the following observations and personal opinions are completely my own. On January 10, 2024, Costa Atlantica arrived at Harland & Wolff's shipyard (Belfast Ireland).
Night Key West & Cozumel
The "Ultimate Paradise Pass" cruises can only be reserved hours in advance. The largest accommodations are the Grand Terrace Suites (525 ft2 / 49 m2, with balcony sized 150 ft2 / 14 m2). The ship has an impressive onboard art collection of sculptures and original paintings, murals and crafts. From strolling Duval Street in Key West to exploring the world's second-largest coral reef in Belize, this 7-night adventure that also features stops in Costa Maya and Cozumel is packed with so many discoveries.
So you’ll board in Palm Beach, cruise out in the early evening and dock in The Bahamas the next day. "To me, the only thing better than being on a beach by the ocean, is to be on the ocean. Now you can follow in our wake..." Climb aboard the completely redesigned Margaritaville at Sea Islander and sail to new Ports of Indecision in and around the Gulf of Mexico. The all-new Margaritaville Casino features high-quality play in an intimate, casual-luxe setting where everyone from high-rolling experts to first-time players can turn up the adventure.
I’ll say that this particular cruise isn’t a foodie experience, but it’s totally reasonable for as fast as the journey is. I recommend checking in as early as possible especially if you want to book reservations for the spa, dinner at Fins or JWB Prime Steakhouse (named for James William Buffett, of course), excursions, etc. Priority check-in is available and it does make things a bit easier. The line is much shorter, so if you want to get onboard faster (and disembark faster on the last day), this option is for you. Margaritaville at Sea is an exciting new cruise line currently featuring two ships, the Islander and the Paradise. The Paradise is currently sailing and the Islander is scheduled to make its inaugural voyage in June 2024.
Picture Perfect P...
Discover the charming and eclectic beaches of Key West and the island oasis of Cozumel on the all-new Margaritaville at Sea Islander. For non-drinkers, the $99 Faster Chill program allows you to skip the check-in madness at the somewhat chaotic Palm Beach Terminal, along with a Wi-Fi package for two and reserved seating at various venues. The rooms on Margaritaville at Sea Paradise were all updated before the ship relaunched in 2022, with tropical décor and accents. When serving Costa Cruises, the ship (Costa Classica) was christened by godmother Emilia Costa (1967-born Italian actress). For the Margaritaville cruise line, Margaritaville Paradise was christened by Shaquem Alphonso Griffin (1995-born American, NFL football player/linebacker).
After sailing onboard the Paradise the first time, I was intrigued to see how Margaritaville At Sea had improved since 2022. It was our honor to be hosted onboard by Margaritaville at Sea, and while we were invited onboard, all of these opinions are genuinely my own. While the buffet may be smaller than other large-scale cruise ships, there is still a decent amount of options to choose from. The Butter Chicken Masala and the Creme Brûlée were my two favorite items at the dinner buffet.

The ship's four-night itineraries will only call in Cozumel with two days at sea. The five-night sailings will feature two ports of call, with options including Key West and Progreso, Key West and Cozumel or Progreso and Cozumel. The Margaritaville at Sea Paradise is your easy-breezy resort at sea, with visual accents that inspire adventure. The ship’s inviting atmosphere is filled with music, lights, island-inspired sculptures, artwork, and more. Lovers of non-stop entertainment can enjoy the Margaritaville Casino, Stars on the Water Theater, and various nightclubs while wellness-enthusiasts can stop by the St. Somewhere Spa & Salon or Fins Up! With pools, a retail store, and so much more, there’s something for everyone.
Enjoy fine wines, craft beers or a cold LandShark at one of our signature bars, or relax in style while you listen to the music and sip refreshing cocktails in one of our uniquely themed lounges. Getting from one end of the ship to another can also be confusing, particularly on the upper decks, where there is no real through access without taking various staircases. We also found odd areas of dead space, particularly the Hangout on Deck 14, which seemed like a sports bar with no bartenders or guests. One way you can tell that Margaritaville at Sea Paradise is not a new ship is by its deck plan and layout. Some of the areas of the ship, such as the Port of Indecision buffet, show their age by being more cramped than what you'd expect on newer vessels.
The drydock refurbishment in 2017 resulted in improved systems and onboard infrastructure. All wetdocks and drydocks (including in 2021/November-December, and 2022/April-May) are conducted at Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport. In March 2023, Margaritaville at Sea introduced the industry's first seasonal pass "Ultimate Paradise Pass". It allows pass holders to embark on an unlimited number of non-consecutive 2-night cruises to the Bahamas (Freeport) leaving roundtrip from Palm Beach Florida on Margaritaville Paradise.
Kick back in comfort with live entertainment and performances, drinks by the pool, games of chance at the casino, and delicious food—always ready when you are. On January 21, 2019, Bahamas Paradise announced a partnership with Viva Travel resulting in a cruise to Cuba roundtrip from Palm Beach Florida. The special voyage featured Cuban cuisine and entertainment, and open-deck concerts (on Feb 16) with live performances by Los Cuatro, Laritza Bacallao and La Pantoja. Our cruise special offers are an irresistible opportunity to sail off into the sunset for an easy-breezy cruise vacation of nonstop fun. The Margaritaville at Sea Paradise is the only 3-day and 2-night cruise sailing from the Port of Palm Beach to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island.
The 2700-passenger ship Costa Atlantica has a 10-floor-high Atrium with glass elevators fringed with flashing lights rocketing up and down. The high-level energy ambiance is softened with Carrara marble and Byzantine mosaics (art pieces of Italy's Roman, Baroque and Renaissance eras) and Murano glass counterpoints. On October 16, 2023, Carnival Corporation (as shipowner) officially confirmed the sale of the 23-year-old Costa Atlantica (through Adora Cruises Ltd) to a yet-to-be-revealed buyer.
Back onboard, we dropped our beach bags in our rooms and met up for bingo and trivia in the Euphoria Lounge, a solid choice for drinks, chilling and entertainment.

This is the cruise line’s drink package, but it works a little differently than what you might be used to seeing. In this case, for $99 you get 10 coupons to redeem for alcoholic drinks. Essentially it’s getting your beverages for $10 per glass, a discount off the regular price.
