9:20
It's about exactly what I would have expected. This is the kind of meal that like it looks like a stomach ache. We found out that they have a tattoo parlor. I'm just getting flip-flops on my ass. You guys, we danced for so long, we shut down the bar. I've never seen that before on a cruise. Ah, memories. Now, put them where they belong, out of sight. This is being sealed for blackmail, sir, so don't make me angry. That requires like doing things and moving, and that's not what this cruise is about. This cruise is about hunkering down and drinking margaritas. Good morning, adventurers. From another day on board the USA's cheapest cruise. I was going to say beautiful day, but it's it's not at all.
It got cold and overcast. So, if you caught our last video, we boarded the Margaritaville at Sea for a 3-day cruise to the Bahamas. The ship is a bit rough around the edges, and we may have had to switch rooms because there were noxious fumes coming from our bathroom. Yet, considering the ticket price of this cruise was $32 a day, I feel like we can't really complain all that much. So, you might not regret the price tag, but there are plenty of other things to regret on this ship. Y'all, this ship is the chillest, most social, most relaxed that we have ever been on in our lives.
It is 100% not fancy. There are no formal nights. Basically, everyone is in flip-flops 100% of the time. And we actually have two more days on this ship, so we are going to bring you guys along with us to experience paradise at sea. That is the name of the ship, Paradise. We found paradise. It looks like this. Paradise, and the motto is it's 5:00 somewhere. Well, the first thing you got to do on a cruise ship is get yourself some coffee, because you never stayed up too late drinking and dancing. This is the best coffee we've ever had on a cruise ship.
Huge, huge win. The rest of the day can be whatever. I got my coffee. The downside is, whether you have the drink package or not, you have to pay for this. But, we each got a $25 onboard credit, so this is technically free. It is. It's not eating into our I guess you'd call it profit, cuz I feel like we're profiting on this ship. Well, big time profiting. If y'all caught our first video on board, we missed the buffet completely. But, the breakfast buffet is out. We are going to take full advantage of that. And we do not have high expectations. I mean, it's one of those ships where it's like, how good could it be? Yeah. But, maybe it won't be awful. I guess we just got to taste it and see.
Well, I got to admit, it's about exactly what I would have expected. It's basically what you'd get at like a cheap hotel breakfast. All the classic fare. We have eggs, potatoes, dry shriveled up sausage, a little slice of ham, and then of course, French toast. This is the kind of meal that like it looks like a stomach ache. Yeah, doesn't it? Start with the classic eggs and potatoes. I will say this, I've had worse. Eggs like this are always a little nasty because like look how gooey they are. The texture of it is what gets me. Like the taste is fine, but All right, maybe the French toast will redeem it. And of
course, I doused it in a healthy portion of a syrup. That's got to do the trick, right? Compared to everything else, that's the highlight because it's fried up in a way that it still has a nice bit of crunch to it, but it's a little kind of dense and gooey on the inside. And of course, syrup and a little dusting of powdered sugar there. It's really not too bad. Well, I tried to get some more interesting items. So, they have British bangers. Oh. Um, and then this is the vegan option. So, every day they have a vegan and gluten-free option. So, that's good to know.
I stayed away from that one because I didn't like how it looked. Well, It just looks a little gross to me. It's like a chickpea stir-fry, I guess. Taste more like chickpea curry. It's actually not so bad. Hmm, pretty flavorful and I think that's tofu in there. Stick with the little British bangers because I mean look, it looks so much better than this dried up shriveled sausage of mine. It looks way better. Yeah. Vicky won breakfast. Okay, you just lost. You lost. But it tasted really good. That's actually surprisingly delicious.
All right, I have no qualms with this breakfast, sir. That's because you didn't eat this. And I won't. Yeah, it's probably for the best. Well, it's happening, y'all. I'm getting a tattoo on a cruise ship. Yeah, if you guys saw our last video, we found out that they have a tattoo parlor and Allison thought it would be a good idea for some reason to get a tattoo on a Margaritaville cruise. I mean, it's the craziest thing I could think of to do. So, I got to do it, right? Allison always wants to get tattoos on a whim and I always stop her because I feel like you need to give it a little bit
more time to percolate, but she's convinced me this time because this is a tattoo she's wanted for years. Yes. She's already paying for this tattoo, so this isn't really actually a spur of the moment thing. I just want you guys to know that. I'm just getting flip-flops on my ass. Oh, yeah. Yeah, duh. That's the one that you've been wanting for I've been wanting all these years. So, I have a Clementine on here for RV Clementine and now I'm going to get a little Ruby for Ruby Suzuki. So, now I'll have Ruby and Clementine on my arm. All right, I guess tattoo on the cheapest cruise ship in the country. What can go wrong?
Relax. Just relax. That's all you got to do. We're just trying to get the placement right. This is the most important part, for sure. Stencil is on. I think you got the positioning how I want it. Oh my gosh. Guys, this is why I don't get tattoos anymore cuz I'm way more nervous than she is. Yeah. How long have you tattooed for? Uh, more than 15 years. More than 15 years, so That's good. Hey guys, they're blaring I'm proud to be an American. It's It's really funny. While she's getting her tattoo. The best ever. Now you'll think of this moment every time you hear this song.
I did it. I didn't pass out. I took it like a champion. Looks fantastic. Nice work. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. I guess we got to pay now. That's important. This is not included in the $30 ticket price, is it? No, no, it is not. Breakfast buffet was a bit of a fail this morning. It was not good. We're hoping We came back for lunch. We're hoping it's a little bit better, but it is very tiny, y'all. We're used to a big, sprawling buffet with all sorts of options and food as far as the eye can see. Yeah, and this one's much smaller, much fewer options, but hopefully it's a little bit better than the breakfast. at least, yeah.
Cuz that's been the weakest link on this cruise so far. I mean, dinner was okay in our previous video, but so far the buffet, eh. We'll see. We'll give it a second chance. You've got to love jiggly green jello. It's literally shaking with the vibration of the ship. I love it. Can't say I've ever seen this before. They just have these huge like cake logs that they'll cut a little piece off of. Some
of them actually look pretty good. Well, I'm already feeling a lot better about the lunch buffet. Everything looks more delicious, higher quality. And they have a bunch of vegetables. I wasn't expecting that. this will redeem the food. I think so. Maybe we just sleep through breakfast, start with lunch. Well, this looks already a thousand times better than breakfast. Stuff looks like almost fresh, like it hasn't been sitting out for hours. They have vegetables with a balsamic glaze. Yes. The chicken was the highlight last night in the restaurant. So, I figured I'd give that a try on the buffet. I don't know what this green sauce is. It was unlabeled.
Oh, yeah. I think they said it was mojo chicken. Well, it's super juicy and tender. I think it's like a cilantro sauce. And I love that I can just eat as much of this as I want. I never have to stop. For a very small price tag. Very small price tag. I just found out they have a taco stand. All right. pretty good. Yeah, that goes very well with a margarita. So. Appreciate it. Here we go. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the tacos look pretty dang good. Like way better than I would have ever expected.
Forgot to put the lime on. Very important ingredient to a good taco. So, the tortilla is just like your classic store-bought flour tortilla, but the chicken is super tender, very flavorful. And then these are actually little sweet potatoes, like fried sweet potatoes on there. And that's pretty unique, huh? That's sweet. Decent amount of flavor. potatoes Wait. Sweet pota- I said that's sweet. I mean, it's not the most amazing taco on the planet, but I'd say it's comparable to what we've had on all the other cruise ships. They're always a little bit lackluster, but surprisingly delicious for the price. No. We just hopped back into our room and I noticed this suspicious little bottle of champagne. Check this out. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may
have experienced, cuz we had that smell in the room. This just makes me feel bad, cuz usually we're not We'll we'll put up with a lot in a room before we'll change, but you know, the smell was just concerning. It was really bad. And you guys know, we have done a lot of painting and staining and stuff. And we know how toxic those fumes are. This is so sweet. So, not only did they immediately move us rooms and gave us a sea view room, they gave us champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Oh, nice. You guys, we just picked up our photos from our first day. Ooh, fantastic. we are. Best photos ever taken. Oh, yeah.
Souvenirs for the win. Yep. Now, I feel like we got to have children so we can pass these down. oh yeah. Ah, memories. Now, put them where they belong, out of sight. This is being sealed for blackmail, sir. So, don't make me angry. You guys, this is the first time that we've heard Margaritaville this entire cruise. Can you believe that? It's happening. And now, I want to hear it. I feel like I'm at the point where like, yes, it's exactly what I needed. We're going to have a party upstairs.
Okay, we'll be there. Another night at the party. Okay. We will be there. We'll be there. Okay. Hey, hot rod number 201 twitch, man. No love, we out here, man. Behind my DJ moral. Hey. Shout out to the bros. So good. LET'S SHOW THEM THE OTHER TRICKS. YOU GUYS, WE DANCED for so long, we shut down the bar. I've never seen that before on a cruise.
Please, let me in. Now, we're back in the room for the night. Tell you what, small spaces, we just kind of end up making a mess. This isn't that bad, right? Could be worse. I feel like this always happens on cruises where you start drinking, you go to the show, and then when the show is out, everyone starts partying and dancing, and then it just like devolves into insanity. Cruises are so funny because you get people of all walks of life all of a sudden end up together on a dance floor. And everyone has a blast. It's so fun. And Alex was cutting a rug. It was so funny, man. Cutting it hard. Yeah, that kid has some moves. I will tell you that.
You guys, what a day. I got a tattoo on board. It's looking a little funky cuz I've got my like uh What do you call it? Second skin on there? But the artist assured us this is normal. We've never used this second skin thing before. This is all futuristic. But it accidentally got very, very late as it always does when we're doing these cruises. So, we're going to go to bed. Yep. Well, we dock in the morning. We'll have a day off the ship. Our one single port on this tiny short cruise. Yeah, bedtime, please. to bed. Bye. I'm going to put you guys to bed. Go in there.
Yo, we've made it to our first and only port on this cruise, and it's here to Nassau in the Bahamas. This is where we took our honeymoon. How 18 years how long we've been married? Well, we've been spending a lot of time on the ship, so we figured it'd be nice to pop off, explore Nassau, or at least what we can in the brief period that we're going to be here. Yeah, it's a little warmer today, but still windy and chilly. Hopefully the sun will heat things up. All right, so I didn't remember this, but apparently the only way to get into town is through the tourist trap alley.
It is pure chaos. I'm digging the drinks, though. They have the most elaborate coconut and pineapple drinks. They're like works of art. All right, this might be the most beautiful water I've ever seen in my life. Look at that color. What the heck? Perfect. There's no trash, nothing floating in there. Oh, yep. That's That's living in the beach life out there. Well, it took a while, but we finally made it out of that little uh tourist uh gift shop area. But now we are headed to a lovely beach, which will be maybe much less packed and touristy. I don't know. Probably not.
Oh, this is beautiful, huh? Yeah, and if you stand right here, it's like it's our own private beach. Yeah, if I just put the camera here and don't show the millions of people over there. We need to come and like stay here and do some island hopping and stuff. I just love the architecture, like all the old colonial style buildings. Then of course out in the distance you have little outcroppings with islands and lighthouses and stuff. It's a vibe, for sure. It is lovely. When I'm in a group like this, like going towards the gate of entry, I always feel like I'm in like 28 Days Later or Contagion or something. And we're trying to like get out of the city before the virus hits us, you know? I'm
the only one with the virus. Oh, It's a curable disease. Great. You chose this point to admit that to the world. And then these guys have got it now from hanging out with me. You know, we actually just noticed there's no balconies on this ship. I mean, kind of seems right for the price, but I don't know if I've ever seen a ship that doesn't have balconies. All right, we conquered Nassau. So now we're back on the ship and ready to have more fun. Again, there's one thing that we have yet to do on this ship, and we can't do it in these clothes.
Now we're ready. Oh, yeah. We going to the hot tub. We getting in the hot tub. Except maybe we're not cuz only eight people on this whole ship are allowed in at one time. Keep going. I'm enjoying this. As you guys have seen, it's kind of cold here in the Bahamas right now, so we're not going to be actually getting into the pool. We are going to stick to the hot tub, which most people on the ship have said is not hot at all. But, on this cruise ship, a cold hot tub seems exactly right. Let's go give it a try. I think we're done with the dancing.
Don't get me started. you keep going if you want. We just make that the rest of the video. Well, this is the look of sadness. This is a sad girl drinking tequila poolside because the hot tubs are all overrun, and I think there's even a line of people wanting to get in once people get out. some reason, they have the world's tiniest hot tubs. two hot tubs on the entirety of the ship. It's so silly. So, I've got my toes in a freezing cold pool of water. I don't have my toes in it cuz it's too cold. And I'm just drinking my tequila like a sad girl. We are sitting here watching all these other ships that really aren't even that big, but they're way bigger than ours, and they have a lot funner
stuff on them. There's like slides, and I think one of them has a freaking roller coaster on it. Yeah, that requires like doing things and moving, and that's not what this cruise is about. No, this cruise is about hunkering down and drinking margaritas. Final night, final dinner. I'm so excited. I got barbecue pork chops. I got pork the first night, and it was super dry, but this looks way more tender. It's got a lot of barbecue sauce on there. Oh, yeah. So sexy. Sensual. All right. I'm going to say it's good. Not bad, not great. It's good. Margaritaville. What are you saying? I was told never to speak with my mouth full.
It's not good. What did you even get? I remember. Jamaican curry shrimp. It's not very flavorful. Yeah. Stick with the pork. Yeah. Well, it's the last night of the cruise. We've just been kind of like wandering around before we go to bed. What's really funny about this ship is that you have a lot of spaces like this where there's just like music playing to nobody. And it's kind of cold out, so it just has this kind of depressing vibe to it. Yeah, there's not much going on. We often wander into a room and there's like a great musician playing to about four people. Or tonight where
there's like tunes pumping, but nobody's here. Everyone's in bed. And maybe like uh if it wasn't so cold, it would be the case. But it just adds to like going on the cheapest cruise, it just kind of seems like it fits that vibe. And I think we're realizing it's the cheapest cruise at the moment because it is the off-season here. It is wintertime. Yeah, that is true. Like the price fluctuates. Yes, but there has been no rain, so that's at least something. And we're not in a frozen tundra like everybody else in the country is right now. But we really just wanted to get
some fresh air. I think from here we're going to call it a night. I think we have seen and done a lot of things. We've conquered it all. conquered paradise at sea. Now we're going to go to bed. Yeah. Good morning, y'all. We've just have been having like a leisurely morning because we felt like we had a lot of time before we needed to leave the ship. We're actually already back in the port. And then one of the housekeeping guys just knocked on the door and said, "You were supposed to be out 30 minutes ago."
I thought we had a little bit of time. Yeah, but we were supposed to leave the room at 8:00. And we are not even close We're packing. Operation freak out. Yeah. I'm freaking out. All right, we did it. That was a lot of work. My suitcase is horribly packed. It was a pain trying to close it, but we're packed up and we're getting out. I guess we no longer have our license to chill. Back to the real world. You guys, we just got our bill for the cruise. This super cheap $30 a day cruise ended up costing us $428. So, it turns out gratuities are added on, $15 a day per person. There's also
this fuel supplement, another $15 a day per person. We got those goofy photos. I got my tattoo, it was a little expensive. Oh, we bought Wi-Fi for a day, paid some tips and stuff. Yeah. Where would it have ended up fast? So, I mean, we knew we were going to owe some because of what we've done, but that fuel and tip thing is a bit of the old bait-and-switch. I mean, I'm sure it was in the fine print, but we did not look at the fine print. it added an extra, just like if we hadn't done anything else, an extra $105 each. Oh, well. Classic.
Just feels right, doesn't it? It does. Goodbye, Margaritaville Paradise at Sea. We will always remember you. Yes. So, what do you think of your first Margaritaville cruise? It will be my last. But, I will take the memories with me to my grave. Yeah, we were just reminiscing about all the fun we had on board. It was awesome.
No, it was great. If you come, bring an Alex. Yeah. It makes it better. Well, I genuinely loved it. Like, that was so fun. And also, by the end, I like they were like my family, everyone on that ship. Like, I had a lot of love for them. Like, I'd seen them all aboard. I've seen them sleep with this person and then with this person. It was just nice to see the transition of time. All right, we're parting ways with this boy. But, we will see him again. Yeah, hug these guys. Come here, guys. My turn.
This seems like the proper dreary end to this cruise. This is a good representation. It's like I'm detoxing. The world is detoxing from what we've just done. See you. Drive safely. Watch out for those stop signs. Well, I hope you guys had fun coming along. I know we had fun. I hope that it came across. It was probably a little bit chaotic, but that's kind of how it was in real life. It was chaotic and quirky, but a blast. But I think we're going to leave you here. We've got more awesome adventures coming up. Some stuff we've been planning for a while.
Uh-huh. And that's will be up next. Goodbye, adventurers. We'll see you on the road.
