Welcome aboard, Nicole!
You'll be partying with Captain Mickey at the sail away party in just a few days - I'm so excited for you! There is
something for everyone on any of the 4 ships - you will surely have a great time.
The
Pirates IN the Caribbean party is a signature event onboard and you're likely already prepared with your pirate gear - ready for some swashbuckling fun with the rest of your buccaneers. Keep your camera handy - and maybe bring some neon glow-in-the-dark accessories to really stand out. Our little landlubber kids love to 'glow'!
Your 7-night Western Caribbean cruise will also include a Dress Up night, and you can choose to go all out (or not) on this evening. The professional photographers will be out at the atrium in the evenings with their Disney Cruise Line Signature backgrounds to take those lovely family pictures - these make great mementos. There is also a Semi-Formal night, and you can choose to dress up once again for this evening. Otherwise, all evenings are suggested to be cruise casual attire. That would be anything you and your family members would wear when you go out on the town for a nice dinner.
Don't forget your bathing suits! You've got to get on the
AquaDuck as well, or you can enjoy the other pools up on the deck. If you have a light sweater or shawl, that will be nice to have with you in the cool evenings when you're gazing up at the starts on deck. If you decide to decorate, you can bring colorful artwork & designs to hang on your stateroom door using magnets. It makes your door easy to spot from a long hallway.
I hope this helps... have an awesome voyage!
