    Hello! My family and I are going on a 4 night cruise from Cape Canaveral on the Fantasy on June 3rd. Will there be an optional dress up night on the cruise? If yes, when will it be? Thank you!

    Ahoy, Marcelle, and welcome to planDisney! The countdown to your cruise is on, and it looks like you picked a great itinerary – you'll be visiting both of Disney's private islands, Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. You and your family will have such a great time. Let's talk about the themed nights planned for your cruise!

    It looks like there will be an optional dress-up night on Day 2, when you can wear something a little fancy for dinner. And on Day 3, you can enjoy the swashbuckling fun of Pirate Night. Soak up the adventurous energy with themed activities, a special dinner menu, exciting entertainment, and fireworks (weather permitting). You can even dress up as a pirate, if you'd like! Just keep the costume guidelines in mind when choosing what to wear.

    Keep in mind that schedules are subject to change, so it's a good idea to confirm the timing once you board the ship. At that point, you can connect to the Wi-Fi and pull up the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to view the most up-to-date details. 

    I enjoy the app for other reasons, too. You can use it to send messages to others in your party, which is helpful for a group. It’s also great for finding family-friendly activities, like silent disco, karaoke, and trivia.

    Marcelle, I hope you have the most amazing time on your Bahamian cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy. If you think of any other questions, feel free to reach out – we're always happy to help here at planDisney!

    Wishing you many happy moments with your family,
    Kriss
