Anyone dressing full pirate gear for pirate night?

I'm intending to see what we can pick up at WDW or The Character Warehouse at The Prime Outlets on I Drive. I don't think I'm going for the frilly shirts and tights look.

ok thats your story and your sticking to it...

So Nassau is my only real concern about the cruise I have read so many people say just stay on the ship! Anyone ever been?

 

[DCLMan]

ok thats your story and your sticking to it...

I am.

I spent the afternoon sorting out my holiday clothes and making sure my smart clothes are suitable.

 

[jajomo0118]

I'm still have no idea how dressed up my fellas will get this time.

We followed the guidelines pretty close on the Magic...they worn kahkis and polo shirts most nights, but they might just wear jeans and polos this time and khakis with a dress shirt for "dress-up" night.

 

[Zach's Mom]

I lucked out and picked Zach up a black polo type shirt with the jolly roger emblem all over it. Unfortunately as much as he enjoys the Pirate movies he isn't big on dressing up. Now myself anything with Will Turner and I am there.

DCL Man, Wear your tattoos and pirate ear ring and be proud Mom and I are trying to figure out how to get my dad and Travis into anything theme related and are not succeeding.

Hey guys! Not sure what we're going to do for pirate night.

LOVE the new name & the roll call on the first page.

As far as Nassau.....I *think* we're going to do the Atlantis Waterpark. Instead of spending all the moolah on the Disney excursion, we may do the Comfort Suites deal. Anyone with any more ideas, tips, it would be appreciated???

 

[Zach's Mom]

I think we are just going to wander around Nassau for a couple of hours and then hang out on the ship.

I kinda want to see the straw market but I'm not too keen on lots of people in close quarters though. I would love some opinions from anyone who has been.

I'm kind of hung up on Nassau too. I've never been so I really want to go to say I've been. And I'd like to see it too. My friends who just did this same cruise for New Year's went through Nassau and picked up the freebies that she found out about on the navigator thingy and they shopped a little. Her kids stayed on board the entire time while she and her mom shopped. I'd like to see the Straw Market too, so I'll probably browse around and do a little shopping, but no excursions. That will probably be the best time to be on the ship too.

I had intended to stay on the ship - but someone, somewhere mentioned that you can go to ?Diamonds International? I think...and get a charm bracelet for $5 and a free charm at every DI at different ports that you go to. Don't know where to find that info...I think I saw it in a thread somewhere. I would LOVE to do that for my DD7 as I intend to continue cruising to different ports because I just know that we are going to love this!

So...that said...I might get off to get some bracelets for myself and my daughter but I bet the kids just stay on board. They would love the dolphin excursion, but at ages 5 & 7, I might just wait a year or 2 before we do that. I'd like them both to be old enough to remember it. And I have no memories of being 5...or at least very very few...

Good Morning All.
So whats everyone got planned for this fine day...lol.

I'm headed to the bridal shop to get fitted for a dress "that I'll be able to wear again".....YEAH right!!! I can't believe brides are still trying to tell us that. I tried that line on my own bridemaids 14 years ago and didn't work then either. O well maybe it will this time. Her colors are red and black. I'm really hoping she picks black for the dresses, but its her wedding so i'll just smile and pay up....

I'll ask my friend what exactly they were able to get for free, where and how she found out. But I am sure it was a navigator that was in her cabin when she got on the ship. In fact if I remember correctly, there was a map showing you exactly where to go and what was free. I'll make sure though.

We've never been but I want to say I've seen something of it.

We are going to get off the ship, have a wander round and go back to the ship for lunch and spend the rest of the day relaxing onboard.

Yeah, that's pretty much what we're doing. I want to be back on the ship for lunch or shortly thereafter.

I think that we may do the island tour on Nassau, mostly since it will be the first time my kids will have been out of the country. The only thing I really want to purchase is a hand-made doll - I've been collecting them for DD for a while and would love to get one from there for her collection.

I contemplated the pirate museum, but we just may head back to the ship and enjoy it for all it's worth!

For pirate night, we're gonna pull out our Halloween costumes - I'll be Elizabeth Swann, DH Jack Sparrow & I still need to make something for the kids. But here is a pic of us at MNSSHP a couple of years ago...

And now you know what we look like ... kinda...

 

[Twinprincesses]

AWWW I am missing out on some good coversation.... Sorry I have not been on. So our game plan so far is to do the big shebang at Atlantis, since it will be along time before we do the 4 day again. My kids would absoluty love it there judging by the photos. When we did the 7 day we tried to browse Key West and do the store thing and at that time we relized the kids loved the beaches.

If you guys have not been before Castaway Cay is an absolute treat, it is paradise!!!!!

I cannot wait to go!!!!
