Margaritaville at Sea publishes two capacity figures for this ship — 2,210 in the Quick Reference Guide and 2,680 on the deck plan. The lower number is the usual two-guests-per-cabin basis; the higher one counts every berth, including upper and sofa beds. Both are shown rather than picking one.

About Islander

Islander is the fleet's longer-range ship, sailing 4- to 10-night itineraries from Port Tampa Bay. Her range opens up Cozumel and the Yucatán, Grand Cayman, Jamaica and the wider Western Caribbean — the choice when you want a full week (or more) at sea rather than a quick hop.
