Pirate Night????

[DMLAINI]

What time to you get dressed for Pirate Night? I wasn't sure if you dress up most of the day or just for dinner. Any Pirate Night info/tips would be appreciated.

We dress for dinner. I stay in costume for the party.

 

[Erica1016]

We do late dining. I dress up before the show so that I can enjoy the atmosphere between that and dinner. Stay dressed up through the show/fireworks.

 

[Cruising Engineer]

We get dressed for Pirate night about 30-60 minutes before dinner and stroll around the decks before preceding to the MDR.

No one will stop you from dressing like a pirate all day every day. Most people will typically put on pirate costumes before the first dinner or show.

Every cruise we've had a pirate day on has had pirate day on a port day, so most people are off the ship during the day.

DCL Newbie question: Do they do Pirate night on the very merrytime cruise too?

 

[diznymom]

The room hosts leave Pirate Bandanas on the bed (1 per person). We dress for early dinner and stay that way for the rest of the evening.

Yes, they do.

The only exceptions (that I am aware of) to the Pirate Night and fireworks are the Alaska and Northern Europe cruises.

 

[Arianabtd]

I usually do late dining, but I dress up around 3 or 4pm to hit all the characters in their pirate outfits before dinner.

Yes, they do. The only exceptions (that I am aware of) to the Pirate Night and fireworks are the Alaska and Northern Europe cruises.

This is true, there are no pirates in Alaska, but the Wonder does a Frozen night.

I dress up just before dinner and immediately visit the areas to take pictures with the various characters.

Meeting characters in their pirate outfits will be listed in the Navigator, correct?

Sorry to hijack but I asked in another area and didn't get an answer. I understand there is a pirate night on Mediterranean cruises but what about the longer ones - like a 12-night cruise... would they possibly do 2 special parties, like 2 pirate nights or add a Frozen night?

We bombed pirate night big time. FYI, the pools are closed all night and the lifeguards have training. It seemed like most people dressed mid-afternoon, before dinner. We skipped everything because my daughter was more interested in swimming. We showed up at the end of the pirate party thinking they'd open the pools after the party...wrong. The only good part was that the aquaduck had no line so my daughter and husband rode it, but the water was freezing so my husband refused to ride it any more. We'll get it right next time.

I believe the northern Europe cruises had Frozen night (not Pirates). I don't think any longer cruises have more than one Pirate night (or Frozen night). There are additional (different) menus/shows on the longer cruises, though.

We dressed up early around 3pm and my kids called me to pick them up from kids club because they were embarrassed they were the only kids in pirate costumes. Closer to dinner was what most other people on our cruise did. When we got to main dining, the room was full of pirates.

Just to clarify... The pools are closed because the cover comes over them for the stage/dance floor. So they take advantage of that for the lifeguards to get required training in. They are not closed so that the lifeguards can have training.

On the Halloween cruises, is Pirate night and the Halloween party separate events or the same?
