Paradise

Margaritaville at Sea announced new experiences aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise, including upgraded dining, entertainment and enhanced amenities.

Sailing from Port of Palm Beach, the updated ship will feature popular venues from Margaritaville at Sea Islander, new ports of call, and improved terminal processes starting in late March 2025. 

“This exciting new lineup of guest experiences on Paradise will match the fun and energy of the new destinations we’re charting this year,” said Anthony Stice, senior vice president of hotel operations at Margaritaville at Sea. “Whether it’s a two-night getaway or a long weekend escape, we’re ready to welcome guests with refreshed dining, elevated cocktail experiences, and unforgettable entertainment.”

Dining and drinks:

  • Hemisphere Dancer Craft Spirits: A craft spirits bar offering signature cocktails in a piano lounge setting, featuring popular drinks like the Mile High with a smoked finish.
  • Far Side Sushi: A specialty dining venue with a variety of sushi rolls, small plates, rice and ramen bowls in a bamboo-accented space.
  • Frank and Lola’s: Now part of the Port of Indecision Buffet, offering handcrafted pizzas, including classic and seasonal specialty varieties.
  • License to Chill & 12 Volt Bar: Renovated poolside bars with new menus, including License to Chill’s transformation into a Key West-style beach bar with ping pong and billiards.
  • JWB Prime Steakhouse: An upscale steakhouse with an enhanced menu featuring wine pairings and seasonal specialties.

 

“In addition to our popular trips to Grand Bahama Island and Key West, we’re sailing to Nassau from the Port of Palm Beach, giving our guests another option to enjoy all the great enhancements we’re introducing aboard Paradise,” said Christopher Ivy, CEO of Margaritaville at Sea.

“Sailing on Paradise captures the same fun and escapism, now with even more outstanding food, drinks, and entertainment, making it a perfect introduction for first-time cruisers and our loyal returning guests.”

The Margaritaville at Sea Paradise will debut new live entertainment with a variety of performers. A new Nassau stop includes the Sail and Splash: Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau Excursion, offering priority access to the resort and Fins Up! Water Park.

Staterooms will receive general upgrades while new facial recognition technology at Port of Palm Beach will speed up arrival and debarkation for U.S. passport holders. Additional parking options will include self-parking and valet.

During the Best Sail Ever promotion, guests can book Margaritaville at Sea Paradise at 60 percent off through Feb. 17, with free fares for third and fourth guests and onboard credit.
