The Margaritaville at Sea cruise ship arrived at Port Tampa Bay on Monday. It is set sail on Friday. The cruise is themed on the late musician Jimmy Buffet, best known for his tropical rock song "Margaritaville," with margaritas and “5 O’clock Somewhere,” another one of his hits, interwoven into all the ship’s main rooms.
“Our team has tirelessly been at work, completely reimagining every single space in this ship and we are just amazed at what they’ve been able to accomplish,” said Amanda Travaglini, Chief Marketing Officer for Margaritaville at Sea.

Jimmy Buffett’s daughter, Savannah Buffett, said this ship is an homage to her father’s legacy. “It really just brings to life, sort of all the mythology that was created by my father, Jimmy, and what Margaritaville has done with this brand,” Buffett said. She said the ship is a family-oriented stop for all ages, with amenities ranging from mini golf to live shows, a kids club, a casino, a three-story poolside Landshark bar and more.
