    Hello!!! We are a family of 5 going on a 3 days Bahamian cruise this December 12-15. this is our very first cruise and we are super excited!!! What kind of themed night can we expect? So we can plan accordingly:) thank you 🙏

    Yo Ho, Yo Ho, Maria!

    Welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you will be flippin' your fins on a Disney Cruise Line cruise.  Our family has enjoyed Disney Cruises several times, and getting to sail to the great wide somewhere while immersed in the magic of Disney is always so special.  

    Maria, on the three-night sailings, typically one night is Pirate Night! It's always such a fun evening. Our family always took the plunge - or should I say walked the plank - in full pirate gear, from hat to boot.  It's such a fun way to enjoy a magical night with Mickey, Minnie, and your Mateys! 

    The other two nights are "casual cruise" dress; however, jingle my bells! It looks like you are sailing on a Very Merrytime Cruise! That means you'll enjoy some jolly-good theming and activities on this very merry, magical sailing.  So, while it is not required, I would recommend packing your festive holiday clothing, as many of the Disney characters will be dressed in their merriest attire and will be available for pictures. Also, the big cheese will also be there for meet and greets (and I am not talking about Mickey!) Santa Claus will jingle all the way from the North Pole to sail the high seas on your sailing, so I recommend something fun and festive to capture these special family memories.

    Also, be sure to download the Disney Navigator app to your phone. This is where you'll find out all of the activities taking place each day on your sailing, including the themed night and character meets. Check the app each day so you don't miss a thing!

    I hope this helps you, Maria! If you have any further questions, sail back here to see us and we will be so happy to help you.
