    Ahoy! I set sail for a four-night cruise in December. As I peruse the website and look at my booking, it doesn't seem that I can find what theme nights there will be (if any) or when they might take place. Does that exist on the website?

    Ahoy, Bridget!

    Welcome back to planDisney! I love that you’re already plotting your packing strategy—because as Captain Jack Sparrow might say, “Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.” Sometimes, the real treasure is a suitcase full of perfectly coordinated outfits!

    While I wish I could wave a magic wand and make the theme night schedule magically appear on the website or Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, that information isn’t currently posted before you sail. The good news is, once you’re aboard and connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi, your Navigator app will reveal the full lineup of activities and any themed evenings, so you can be “part of that world” in style.

    Now, I’m not entirely sure which ship you’re sailing on, but using my best Detective Mickey skills (and maybe a sprinkle of Madame Leota’s crystal ball magic), I have a hunch you’re setting sail on the Wish for the December 29th departure. If that’s the case, here’s the current schedule for your voyage:
    • Day 2 (Nassau) – Pirate Night (Yo ho, yo ho, a costume’s life for me!)
    • Day 3 (Lookout Cay) – Optional “dress-up” night (think of it as your chance to “Be Our Guest” in elegant attire)

    But—plot twist!—if my sleuthing is slightly off and you’re actually on the Dream for the December 29th sailing, here’s the current plan for your high-seas adventure (same plan, just different ports):
    • Day 2 (Lookout Cay) – Pirate Night
    • Day 3 (Castaway Cay) – Optional “dress-up” night

    If I’ve truly gone off course and you’re on an entirely different ship, just send a message in a bottle (or in this case, back to us here at planDisney), and we’ll help set your compass in the right direction.

    I hope this helps you get ready for your magical December sailing! Whether you’re rocking your best swashbuckling look under the fireworks or channeling your inner Disney royalty at dinner, these nights make for unforgettable memories and amazing photo opportunities.

    Sea ya real soon as we ride the wave of summer’s final stretch in Disney style,
