MAS Questions From A Seasoned Cruiser

[RollWave]

A few questions for the folks who have sailed with Margaritaville at Sea!

 

We are seasoned cruisers with status with Celebrity & RCCL.

 

Booked Paradise at Sea for a quick weekend getaway in a week or so - Friday departure.  Have looked through the reviews on this site. The ship is smaller & older but that happens to be what we like in a ship. We understand it is a quick 2 night trip  and that it might have a budget feel. We are ok with this as we are local and this is just an option for a weekend away vs driving to the Keys or Orlando etc.

 

We booked an ocean view cabin on deck five and we purchased the License to Chill package.

 

Questions:

 

1- The package includes a dinner at JWB Steakhouse as well as a SPA credit.

    Is it hard to get reservations at either place? Can they be made ahead of time or only

    once on board?

 

2- Does the ship clear out while in port? We enjoy a quiet ship while in port.

    Wondering if other passengers feel the same and the ship is still busy while in port.

 

3- SPA - any thoughts or suggestions about the spa treatments?

 

4- JWB Steakhouse - any thoughts or suggestions about this restaurant both for dinner and breakfast?

 

Thanks in advance!

1. There is usually a crew member in the cruise terminal trying to sell boarding passengers a dinner at JWB. So look for that crew member before you board about reservations or booking instructions.

 

2. The ship pretty much empties out to go to the beach, day resort or excursions. I don't recall if anything remains open on board during the port-of-call.

 

No responses for 3. & 4.
