    Im going on the 3-Night Very Merrytime Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral. Is there a pirate party?

    Ahoy, Gabriela!

    A Very Merrytime Cruise is the perfect way to celebrate the most magical time of the year. I love seeing the ship decked out from stem to stern with twinkling lights and festive decor. Holiday music, the characters in their jolly attire, and themed activities make these very special sailings, so I'm excited you'll be experiencing it all this season. 

    Gabriela, you've asked a great question about your 3-night voyage to the Bahamas on the Disney Wish. You can expect a swashbuckling good time on night 2 of your cruise. Pirate Night festivities will be listed in your Disney Cruise Line Navigator app along with all the Merrytime fun, so download it before arriving at the port to have it all at your fingertips. Pirate's Rockin' Parlay Party is usually scheduled for 10:15 pm (weather permitting) on Deck 11. I always recommend arriving early to secure the perfect viewing location. My crew likes to stand along the railing on Deck 12, starboard. Many Guests don pirate costumes for the evening fun, so plan accordingly if you'd like to participate or schedule a Pirate Makeover for members of your crew at The Pirates League. These can be scheduled at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for an additional fee. With your sailing being 3 nights, your dining venue will not offer the pirate menu on Day 2, so you can experience all three rotational dining menus. 

    It will be a magical 3 days with Disney Cruise Line this December, Gabriela. Santa is typically on board to meet and greet Guests, so this will be a perfect opportunity to get those pictures by the Shutters photographers and share that all-important holiday wish list! The last time my family sailed on a Merrytime cruise, we took our Santa pictures in matching Christmas pajamas! These make for some memorable moments onboard.

    It was a pleasure assisting you with your question. Please let us know if you need further help with your magical holiday plans.
