Dressing up your husband for Pirate Night?

I ordered DH a pirate t shirt and he'll wear that each time we cruise. Our first cruise, I had a full pirate costume and was disappointed by how few people dressed up. Now I just wear a black and white striped dress and the bandana.
 
I have a full pirate costume that I wear each time, but honestly there are less and less folks dressing up - especially guys.
 
Hello, friends! We are planning our very first Disney cruise on the Wonder this December, and I'm wondering what to get my hubby for Pirate Night. I have a pirate costume, my 5-year-old daughter will have one, but Daddy is not the kind of guy to dress up in a costume. Should I just get him a pirate t-shirt and call it good? He's not likely to swashbuckle himself up in a flowy white shirt or scarf on the head. He is very good natured about this stuff, so he'd probably humor us a little bit. What do the Dads/grown up guys usually wear to Pirate Night? Thoughts? Thanks!
I went as Mr Smee. Super easy and comfortable.

This will be our first cruise, and while me and my 2 girls are dressing up, the hubs is wearing a bandana and a pirate patch and jeans or shorts with a Goonies t shirt I made him. We love the Goonies movie so the their pirate skull logo was perfect!

My husband wears jeans with a Pirates of the Caribbean or "Dead Men Tell No Tales" t-shirt. If we happen to have an eye patch he'll wear that some times, and he'll wear the bandana that DCL gives us. I usually just wear my pink jeweled t-shirt from the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop at Disney World.


In 2004 Pirate Night was fairly new (at least to us!) so I wore a tropical print dress and my husband wore a black shirt and the pirate bandana from DCL:

The shirts that my then-teenaged sons and husband wore on pirate night in 2006:

Here I am on Pirate night in 2012. The words "Pirates of the Caribbean - Walt Disney World 1971" are in rhinestones on the left sleeve, just like the skull on the front:

I think for next year's cruise we'll end up buying some new shirts pirate:
