The food was also high quality and delicious although we felt a bit cramped, hot and claustrophobic downstairs in the eating room. Although there were plenty of kids on board and most seemed to be having a great time. 100% professional!!! I found the whole experience a little too focused on alcohol and drinking, which made it feel less appropriate for kids. Had a great time on the Jolly Roger Pirate Ship! The highlight was the Entertainment crew!!! WOW! Amazingly talented musicians, band, actors, acrobats, set and stage lighting/sound. I can’t imagine how fun it would be with a group. After the show, dinner was served and then after that, dancing resumed on the main deck compliments of the wonderful band. I’m posting a couple pictures of pirates that I was able to capture. The dialogue was in both English and Spanish and lasted about an hour. After the band wrapped up the show began. He worked so hard refreshing drinks throughout the night and serving dinner later in the evening- really professional and fun guy. Our “personal pirate” was Rasta and he was incredible. Once we boarded the boat, we were seated and the show began with an amazing band that played everything from Latin to American classics. We arrived a little early so we had the chance to see the pirates milling around posing for pictures and always remaining in character. I’m not sure who was better the band (amazing!) or the cast of pirates (hilarious and rarely broke character). This show was so much fun and they immediately had the audience involved. I had low expectations- thought this would be a cheesy pirate show - similar to what you’d see at Disney. The tour dock back in port about 9:45pm, and our personal transportation arranged in our package was on site which allowed us to leave by 10pm. We actual sailed for about 2.5 to 3 hours in the sea, so if you get motion sickness there is a possibility. The show got the audience to participate as much as possible by engaging us to stand at our seats and dance, recognizing origin of countries represented in the audience, and 4-6 audience members will be recruited to be on stage. The meal was somewhat disappointing, so I would recommend not upgrading as it is an additional cost in which the value is poor. If were up to the food, I would have just rated it a 3 star, as we upgraded to a premium package for the meal choice, and the New York strip in the photo appeared to be at least a 1.5" cut of meat when in actuality it is a thin 1/4" cut. The show had a few surprises that I was not expecting which helps the rating into a 4 star experience. He would take our order and bring the drinks back in a timely manner. William Connor did an excellent job of seating us and ensuring that our group of about 15-16 enjoyed the open bar. The sound, light effects, and action were surprisingly good in such a confined space. The show itself was a simple story line of a trader trying to overtake the captain's command. The ships crew began the show before we boarded which helped make the wait pass more quickly. We boarded the ship around 6pm, but were entertained by the ships band in the garden area in front of the ship. The next step was to meet our personal pirate, William Connor. We had purchased our show from the resort, so we only needed to pay our dock fees ($12/person), declare the type of main course for dinner, and obtain our wrist band (wristband color indicator of which meal you have selected). We were immediately greeted by a pirate as we stepped out of our transportation, which he directed us straight to the ticket counter. The cast and crew of the show were very talented and stay in character the entire night.
