Complete List of Terms and Conditions for Your 2 Night Bahamas Cruise
Ship History of Complete Terms and Conditions for Your 2 Night Bahamas Cruise
Celebration Cruise Line, a value-oriented cruise option specializing in short Bahamas getaways, ceased operations in 2014. The company’s route and niche were soon filled by Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line. Wanting to infuse a fun-loving, laid-back atmosphere, Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line partnered with Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville brand in 2022 for a complete reimagining. The line was rebranded as Margaritaville at Sea, transforming its ship with vibrant colors, island-themed venues, and that signature Margaritaville state of mind.
