Welcome aboard, Adrienne! A 3-night cruise on the Dream will be just enough to wet your appetite for more cruises with Disney! If you like it, be sure to re-book while you're onboard, as you'll be able to take advantage of some great discounts (usually 10% off, only 10% deposit, plus a generous onboard credit).
But first things first! On your 3-night sailing, you'll have three different attire nights. The first night will be Cruise Casual, second night will be
Pirate Night, and final night is an optional dress-up night.
Since the cruise is short, you won't have the official formal or semi-formal night, but the optional dress-up night is a great chance to break out those nice outfits for great photo opportunities!
Of course, you must wear something pirate-y on Pirate Night! Each guest will receive a Pirates IN the Caribbean bandana onboard, and the shops there also offer quite the array of pirate gear. But, if you have a pirate costume from home, bring it along to wear, and I promise you won't be the only ones ! Adults and kids alike dress up for this big night!
I hope this helps with your planning, Adrienne! Let me know if I can help with anything else as you continue to plan!
