Welcome aboard, Kelli! Disney Cruise Line makes it so much fun for guests to enjoy some pirate fun IN the Caribbean when they set sail! You're in for a swashbuckling good time!
Pirate Night is one of the most popular nights on the ships, and Disney plans it out so that all the guests can join in on the fun. You will not miss a thing due to your second seating at dinner. Grab your Personal Navigator that day, which lists the activities and events going on around the ship, and you'll see the schedule for your particular sailing. Though schedules are always subject to change, usually on the Dream, there are pirate games on Deck 11 around 7:30, then the Pirates IN the Caribbean Deck Party begins around 7:45. This is perfect timing because it is after the first dinner seating and before the second seating for dinner, allowing all guests to attend. By 8:15, the party will be wrapped up, and you can head down to your pirate-themed dinner. But, come back on deck later on for the Buccaneer Blast Fireworks! It's truly amazing to be in the middle of the ocean and get to experience fireworks at sea, like only Disney can do! Then, if you're still ready to party the night away, stick around deck for the Club Pirate Dance party, and head into Cabanas for the late night pirate buffet!
If you have little pirates in your family, be sure to check out the Pirate Night packages at
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! My son was transformed into Captain Jack Sparrow there, which was such a special experience for him! My family loves Pirate Night, no matter how many times we experience it, and I'm so excited for you to enjoy it for the very first time, Kelli!
Happy sailing!
