Hi Amber!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Can you believe that your Disney Cruise Line vacation will be here so soon?!?! The countdown is ON!
Pirate Night is one of my family’s favorite nights onboard…it’s so much fun to dress up and participate in the fun pirate-themed activities. And, the deck party can’t be missed! We went on many cruises before we were able to make it out to the deck party due to the ages of my boys, but boy, oh boy, now it’s a MUST DO when on the “Mickey Boat”! My boys also love and look forward to their Pirates League makeovers where they are transformed into swashbuckling pirates complete with an eyepatch and sword and are ready to take on any enemy pirate that tries to board their Disney Cruise Line ship.
It appears that currently Pirate Night is scheduled for your day at Castaway Cay (another favorite of ours!) which you will likely spend a good portion of your day at, but if you are willing to try to come back a bit earlier (remember the deck party is usually fairly late and if your boys are like mine, a full day in the sun will exhaust them!), you may want to consider inquiring about moving up your reservation. If nothing is available online now, I recommend checking once onboard as they sometimes can fit you in a little earlier. The schedule of the evening event’s is not confirmed until onboard, so the timing of your appointment may not even be an issue depending on the schedule for your specific voyage. My boys always love their makeovers so much that we tend to do an earlier appointment (mid-afternoon) so they can enjoy their new look for longer! Because pirate makeup in the morning is SCARY!!!
Wishing you and your buccaneers a fantastic adventure at sea,
Stephanie
