Hi Brittany!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question about themed nights on your upcoming Disney Cruise! I totally understand your excitement—whenever I’m cruising with
Disney Cruise Line, I always want to know what fun themes are planned for each night so I can pack just the right outfits!
To find out about theme nights like Pirate Night, Formal Night, and more, the best way is to check the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app once you’re on board. The app will give you all the details you need about your itinerary, daily activities, and special themed events.
If you’d like a sneak peek before your cruise, you can always call Disney Cruise Line at (800) 951-3532, and they can provide you with details about your specific sailing. Keep in mind that themed nights can vary depending on the itinerary, so it’s always a good idea to double-check closer to your sail date.
Here's some information about the
dinner dress codes. Most onboard dining locations are considered “cruise casual,” meaning you can wear comfortable attire like shorts and T-shirts, but swimwear and tank tops are not permitted. For special themed nights, here’s what you can typically expect:
- 3-night cruises: One cruise casual night, one Pirate Night, and one optional dress-up night (jacket for men, dress or pantsuit for women)
- 4-night cruises: First and last nights are cruise casual, one Pirate Night, and one optional dress-up night
- 7-night cruises: First night cruise casual, three additional cruise casual nights, one Pirate Night or other themed deck party, plus one formal night and one semi-formal night where you can really dress up and take advantage of the onboard photography services.
For those planning a special meal at one of the adult-exclusive restaurants like Palo, a more elegant dress code is recommended. Think formal or semi-formal attire, but dress-casual with a polished look is also acceptable.
I hope this helps you plan for all the fun, Brittany! Have a wonderful time on your Disney Cruise—enjoy every magical moment! If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out again to planDisney.
Bon voyage!
