She left Costa in 2019 for a planned Chinese brand that never operated her, and Margaritaville at Sea bought her in 2023. After a refit at Harland & Wolff in Belfast she was named by Savannah Buffett in June 2024 and took her first cruise from Tampa on 14 June 2024. At 85,861 GT and about 2,200 guests she has 12 passenger decks, and most cabins have a balcony. Her pool deck has the only three-storey LandShark Bar at sea, the adults-only Tiki Pool and the Caribbean Amphibian splash pool and slide, plus mini golf and pickleball. Fins Dining, the Port of Indecision Buffet, Mexican Cutie Cantina, Cheeseburger in Paradise and Frank & Lola's Pizzeria are included, while JWB Prime Steakhouse, Far Side Sushi and the adults-only Island Eats and Tiki Grill cost extra. She sails four to ten nights year-round from Port Tampa Bay to Key West, Mexico, Belize, Roatán, Jamaica and Grand Cayman. ## Dining 9 venues ### Included in your fare | Restaurant | Type | |------|------| | Cheeseburger in Paradise | Burgers | | Fins Dining | Caribbean & American | | Frank & Lola's Pizzeria | Pizza | | Mexican Cutie Cantina | Tacos & Bowls | | Port of Indecision Buffet | Buffet | ### Specialty dining | Restaurant | Type | |------|------| | Far Side Sushi | Sushi & Asian Fusion | | Island Eats | Seafood Shack (Adults Only) | | JWB Prime Steakhouse | Steakhouse | | Tiki Grill | Tropical Grill (Adults Only) | ## Routes Margaritaville at Sea Islander sails Each route groups every departure of the same trip, so you can compare dates and prices in one place. - [4 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/4-nights-from-tampa-cozumel.md) · Cozumel · 28 departures · from €347 - [5 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/5-nights-from-tampa-cozumel-progreso-merida.md) · Cozumel and Progreso (Mérida) · 27 departures · from €367 - [5 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/5-nights-from-tampa-cozumel-key-west.md) · Key West and Cozumel · 16 departures · from €457 - [5 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/5-nights-from-tampa-key-west-progreso-merida.md) · Key West and Progreso (Mérida) · 9 departures · from €367 - [5 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/5-nights-from-tampa-bimini-key-west.md) · Key West and Bimini · 5 departures · from €457 - [6 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/6-nights-from-tampa-cozumel-key-west-progreso-merida.md) · Key West, Cozumel, and Progreso (Mérida) · 4 departures · from €539 - [5 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/5-nights-from-tampa-freeport-nassau.md) · Nassau and Freeport · 3 departures · from €367 - [5 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/5-nights-from-tampa-freeport-key-west.md) · Key West and Freeport · 3 departures · from €546 - [7 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/7-nights-from-tampa-belize-city-cozumel-key-west.md) · Key West, Roatan Island, Belize City, and Cozumel · 3 departures · from €675 - [8 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/8-nights-from-tampa-belize-city-cozumel-key-west.md) · Key West, Roatan Island, Belize City, and Cozumel · 3 departures · from €812 - [6 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/6-nights-from-tampa-belize-city-cozumel-roatan-island.md) · Roatan Island, Belize City, and Cozumel · 2 departures · from €503 - [7 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/7-nights-from-tampa-belize-city-cozumel-progreso-merida.md) · Cozumel, Belize City, and Progreso (Mérida) · 2 departures · from €613 - [7 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/7-nights-from-tampa-cozumel-grand-cayman-island-ocho-rios.md) · Cozumel, Ocho Rios, and Grand Cayman Island · 2 departures · from €720 - [7 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/7-nights-from-tampa-cozumel-key-west-progreso-merida.md) · Cozumel, Progreso (Mérida), and Key West · 2 departures · from €631 - [7 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/7-nights-from-tampa-cozumel-grand-cayman-island-montego-bay.md) · Cozumel, Grand Cayman Island, and Montego Bay · 2 departures · from €586 - [8 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/8-nights-from-tampa-belize-city-cozumel-grand-cayman-island.md) · Cozumel, Belize City, Montego Bay, and Grand Cayman Island · 2 departures · from €695 - [8 nights from Tampa](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/margaritaville-at-sea/margaritaville-at-sea-islander/8-nights-from-tampa-colon-grand-cayman-island-puerto-limon.md) · Puerto Limon, Colon, and Grand Cayman Island · 2 departures · from €812 ## Upcoming sailings on Margaritaville at Sea Islander 128 upcoming sailings on Margaritaville at Sea Islander.
