    My family is going on the Disney Destiny 5 night cruise 5/9/2026...is there a way to find out in advance which night is pirate night and formal night? Also is there a schedule now to see what nights each show is on?

    Ahoy there, Tonia!

    Welcome back to planDisney! A 5-night adventure aboard the Disney Destiny sounds like the perfect mix of relaxation and legendary storytelling. Five nights gives you just enough time to unpack, settle in, and still feel like you’re living in your own Disney saga. Let’s chart the course so you can finalize those outfits and continue counting down the days.

    You are absolutely in the right place to start planning your theme night looks. For your sailing, here’s what is currently scheduled:

    • Day 2 (at sea) – Optional “dress-up” night: This is your chance to channel your inner royal or sophisticated sea captain. Whether your family leans toward ballgowns or button-downs, this evening is all about adding a little sparkle to dinner. It’s completely optional, but it’s a fun excuse to elevate the vibe for a night. 

    • Day 3 (Cozumel) – Pirate Night: Arrr you ready? After your fun-filled day in Cozumel, you’ll transform into the most stylish crew on the high seas. Pirate Night includes themed dining, deck party entertainment, and fireworks at sea (weather permitting).

    Now, just like Moana reminds us, the ocean is always changing and so are entertainment schedules. While theme nights tend to follow a consistent pattern, it’s always smart to double-check the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once onboard for the most up-to-date details.

    As for the Broadway-style shows, those schedules are typically finalized once you’re onboard. I wish I had Madame Leota’s crystal ball to confirm it now, but here’s my best estimate based on previous sailings:
    • Day 1 – Disney Seas the Adventure
    • Day 2 – Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party
    • Day 4 – Disney Hercules
    • Day 5 – Frozen, A Musical Spectacular

    I hope this helps as you plan your wardrobe and map out your must-see moments. With Pirate Night, a dress-up evening, and Broadway-caliber shows, your Destiny sailing is shaping up to be legendary.

    Sea ya real soon with a little extra warmth, wonder, and Disney magic,
