My girls did the GF Pirate cruise in January of 2007. I would think they still offer it in January. It was a cooler, wet day the day they went. I just bundled them up in their (light) jackets and off they went. I think the foggy weather added to the "piratey" mystique! If it had really been raining, they would have offered us a refund or an alternate adventure inside the GF.
