Pirate Night on Disney Caribbean Cruises

 

Most Caribbean cruises on Disney Cruise Line will feature a Pirate Night.  It will depend on what cruise you book.  If you book an ordinary Caribbean Cruise, you should have pirate night.  The exception is for some specialty cruises, like Marvel Day At Seas cruises.

So what is Pirate Night?  It is a night where the entire ship becomes a pirate ship!  You are encouraged to dress in your pirate gear and will find a special bandana in your room.  Mickey and his friends also get dressed up so be ready to take pictures as you will only see them in these costumes on the ship!  We have seen people who go all out to dress up for pirate night and we also have seen people who just will wear the bandana they get.  It really is up to you how much you want to put into it.

When my kids were much younger, they loved getting in pirate costumes.  As they got a little older, we opted to get matching shirts made and just use the bandanas we got with them.

Pirate night is a lot of fun because they have special shows and events around the ship.  Just make sure to check your navigator for times so you don't miss out.  There is a special fireworks show on deck towards the end of the night.  Following that there are special Pirate's Night snacks in Cabanas.
