Cape Coral Man Arrested For Throwing Beer Bottles At Margaritaville On Fort Myers Beach

Cape Coral Man Arrested For Throwing Beer Bottles At Margaritaville On Fort Myers Beach

Spring Break is a time when things tend to get a little crazy on Fort Myers Beach, but leave to one Cape Coral man who got arrested this week for throwing beer bottles at Margaritaville on Fort Myers Beach.

Now that the snowbirds have left Fort Myers, it's a little less busy around town. The roads are less congested, parking lots are a little less full, but the beaches are still hoppin'. It has gotten hot really quick around here. But less busy doesn't equate less problems and one Cape Coral man seemed to be having just too much fun at Margaritaville on Fort Myers Beach.

Cape Coral Man Arrested For Throwing Beer Bottles At Margaritaville On Fort Myers Beach

NBC2 reports that 23 year-old Connor Michael Thurman from Cape Coral was arrested after throwing beer bottles off the 4th floor at Margaritaville and then refusing to leave. Now, I understand having a good time and not wanting leave, but I'm not sure throwing glass bottles off a balcony is going to do you any favors.

Deputies went up to his room to confront him, but after refusing to answer the door, they went down to a lower balcony yelling up to him to open up. Eventually when he opened the door, police gave him 10 minutes to leave the room, but he decided instead to start an argument with his girlfriend and continue drinking beer. Seeing that that's what started this whole mess in the first place, it wasn't a good move. Between deputies and hotel security, they tried to take the beer from his hand, but he resisted in a way that knocked all 3 to the ground.

Thurman's staycation ended early as he was taken from one resort the another. From the Margaritaville Beach Resort to the Marceno Motel. He is now facing charges of trespassing and resisting officers without violence.

Viral Margaritaville At Sea Cruise Only $50 And It Was Awesome

I've always been a girl up for an adventure, so when I saw the viral Margaritaville At Sea cruise for only $50, I had to do it and it was awesome.

I've been talking about going on a cruise for the longest time. I've done a lot of traveling, but my experience in going to other countries has been primarily to all-inclusive resorts. I wanted to try something new and with a variety of ports within just a few hours drive from Fort Myers, I started doing some research and came across a deal I couldn't pass up. Margaritaville At Sea was on sale for $99- Buy One Get One Free. So I called up a friend and she immediately said "Yes!" How do you pass up a weekend getaway to the Bahamas for $50?! Let me tell you, it was the best decision I made so far this year.

The Margaritaville At Sea Cruise Was Only $50?

It was only after I booked the cruise that I went on Tik-Tok and saw the reviews that have gone viral. "Oh no", I thought, "What did I get myself into?" But I also know with reviews that people are more likely to go on and leave negative feedback than positive.

And boy was I right. I had the BEST time. And it was worth way more than what I paid. Now, in total, yes it was more than $50. You have your port fees, taxes, gas, drink package, excursion, etc. But I was all in for just over $400, which you can't get 2 nights at a hotel for that. Not to mention the fact that I got to check out another country for a day!

The Margaritaville At Sea cruise ship leaves from Riviera Beach and goes to Freeport- Grand Bahama. The food was great, with a variety of dining options, the drinks were strong, the casino was fun (and I won!) and the entertainment was wonderful. Highly recommend the Sail Away party and the shows in the theater. There's even a night club if you want to keep the party going all night long.

I was also impressed with the number of excursions to choose from. Everything from laid back city tours to a day at a resort to adventures like swimming with the pigs, zip-lining and ATV's. I went snorkeling and kayaking at Paradise Cove and loved every second of it.

While I don't have another cruise to compare it to, I am definitely already planning on going again. It was such a blast!

They have deals all the time and have cruises from West Palm Beach and soon Tampa. Check out their website here
