Lisa I found this about the Flying Dutchman on CC:

Disney Adds Flying Dutchman To Cay
Out of the mists of Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Cay, humming otherworldly, floats a barnacled-covered, ragged-masted, rotting apparition, moving purposefully towards a dock-tied Disney Wonder. Through a seeing-glass, aimed squarely on the murky object, the image becomes clearer.

Could it be? It is! By the cask of Bluebeard's body, that's a pirate ship matey! And not just any ship ... a ghost ship.

And just in time -- can you imagine the coincidence -- Disney, in conjunction with today's launch of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," has brought a massive prop from the movie to Castaway Cay, the cruise line's private Bahamian island. The Flying Dutchman is a 175-foot pirate ghost ship commanded by the half-man, half-sea creature, all-ill-meaning, Davey Jones and a moist, homely crew of over 200 lost souls (latest Cruise Critic estimate).

According to Disney's announcements, passengers have an exciting and dangerous opportunity to rent a boat and get a first-hand look at the Flying Dutchman -- but we're not really sure what that means ... exactly ... and calls to the cruise line's P.R. folks yielded a web of voicemail boxes.

Still, the ghost ship is a sight to see. Even if newly built for the flick, it appears as if for hundreds of years it served as a vivacious eco-system at the bottom of the sea for both the living and the undead. And if guests wield a modicum of tasteful pirate vernacular at their disposal, they may be rewarded by a chance encounter with Captain Jack Sparrow, the mysterious recluse and nemesis to the tentacle-bearded Jones.

Tonight, the Walt Disney Theatre in both Disney Magic and Disney Wonder will hold a PremEAR at Sea of the new film. Prior to the showing, passengers of Disney Cruise Line will receive a portion of the booty from a newly unburied treasure chest, including a commemorative button and official pirate tattoo.

irate Ghost Ship Sighted at Disney's Castaway Cay: Disney Cruise Line Guests Get Up Close with Hollywood's Newest Star
Wednesday July 5, 5:12 pm ET

CELEBRATION, Fla., July 5 /PRNewswire/ -- A mysterious pirate ship has landed at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, providing Disney Cruise Line guests with a swashbuckling photo opportunity and a sneak peek into movie- making magic.

Starting in early July guests sailing on a Disney Cruise Line vacation will discover a 175-foot ghost ship anchored at Castaway Cay. The ship is the Flying Dutchman, which makes its silver screen debut on July 7 in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. The Flying Dutchman's commander is the legendary Davy Jones, who serves as nemesis to the infamous pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, in the upcoming film.

"The Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise is extremely popular, and having the Flying Dutchman ship at Castaway Cay is something truly unique that only Disney Cruise Line could offer guests," said Disney Cruise Line President Tom McAlpin.

The intricate film prop is unlike any other pirate ship -- with ragged sails and a barnacle-encrusted bow, the ship looks like it was raised off the ocean floor to haunt the open seas for eternity. The Flying Dutchman will provide a scenic photo backdrop, and guests renting boats on the island will be able to get an up-close look at the ghost ship.

While visiting Castaway Cay, guests should also be on the lookout for the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. With the Flying Dutchman lurking just off the shore, the eccentric captain may be spotted around the island. Guests are encouraged to approach the hero and hear his tales about adventure on the high seas. The charming pirate graciously accepts requests for portraits and autographs -- if guests can manage to track him down.

Disney Cruise Line will also hold a PremEAR at Sea of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in the Walt Disney Theatre of both the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. On Friday, July 7, guests aboard Disney Cruise Line will receive commemorative buttons and pirate-themed temporary tattoos and will be invited to view the premiere of the film at 12:01 a.m.

The addition of the Flying Dutchman to Castaway Cay will enhance what already is a highlight of a Disney Cruise Line vacation. This summer, Disney Cruise Line is offering special rates for Florida residents, making it even easier for them to experience the excitement of a Disney cruise. On select sailings throughout the summer, Florida residents can take a 3-night cruise starting at $499 per person and a 4-night sailing starting at $649 per person.

Reading the second one esp. what I highlighted-it sounds like anyone renting a boat can get up close and personal with the ship!
