Staff are hard working and professional. They kept the drinks flowing. Plus the 5 seconds of fireworks at the end. Hence, the 2 stars. Theyre the saving grace of this sh*t show tbh! Its already 842pm and we just had dinner. Came here with my partner, 7 yr old and 16 yr old kids, and my yelp elite bff and her husband, we all were bored & uncomfortable. No real show. Wasnt even expecting a broadway production to begin with. This was all about selling, besides the 290 cdn I paid online for the steak dinner option x 3. Had to pay 70 usd upon checking in. Food was horrible. Fast fry piece of seasoned meat and overcooked veggies. Shouldve read the reviews here in Yelp. Will never believe the paid reviews of google. I'm usually a positive and patient person but this was a COMPLETE WASTE of time and money. Everybody in my group got hangry & couldn't wait for this to end. If we were docked, we would've walked out. Honestly, I think going to a time share presentation will be less painful... This is definitely NOT for kids -unless yours love to dance to club music and go to raves. 5 hours of our lives we will never get back. Neverrr again.

Let's be real: it's the Medieval Times of Cancun, but here you are in the middle of the action and the only horses are what they say is steak. No, actually, the food was good. I've done the cruise twice, happy to have once splurged on the lobster choice. It is so buttery and tender that your throat hurts less when throwing up later. From the drinking, of course. For the most part, except for the pirate ship interaction, the "entertainment" is a bunch of puns, insults, and lame drinking games more suitable for a hotel pool party, like "hey! who can collect the most shoes?!". So, don't expect something awesome like a fire dancer or a juggler or that guy who ties four black dummies to his arms and legs and pretends to be the Jacksons or anything. I recommend it. Even though, unfortunately, most of the athletic effort from the pirates is spent less on choreographed fights and more of lifting and waving tip boxes.

A H O Y M A T E Y S ....... What an entertaining evening! I arrived at the pier early as my ticket stated, and am I glad I did. I got to talk to " Capitan Hook" , and see his incredible costume/makeup up close. Very professional, as were all the costumes on all the crew. ( Am I in Vegas?) Moving on to the ongoing show, it was hysterical. There was a lot of audience participation, and even moi was selected to be part of the festivities. Good memories. There was dancing, and loud music, and the crew worked together like a well oiled machine. I'm glad I posed for the professional photo upon boarding, and yes I spent $20 on the framed 8 by 10. It is in my office and all find it appropriately cheesy. So there. Moving on to the food, it was superb. After 40 + years in the hospitality business, I can tell you that it is not easy providing a meal off site for that many people. However, we were served a tasty meal, including grilled lobster for me, and it was accentuated by the fact that we caught the aroma of grilling steak and lobster before we went through the buffet line. All of the crew were both actors and servers. Our guy brought us drinks in a timly manner, and more rounds without prompting. I left pleasantly full, and slightly tingly. Sure, the lobster tail was on the smaller side, but the tenderness and the grilled flavor was incredible. NO REGRETS ! Kudos to the chefs for grilling for that huge crowd and nailing it. Moving on to the anticipated finale - a mock fight with sister ship The Jolly Roger. So our crew were not only showman & servers, but sword wielding athletes jumping from ropes and from ship to ship. Our job was to cheer at the top of our lungs for our guys, as that would determine which ship won the fight. These fellas had huge swords that produced SPARKS when struck. It was like being on a set where they were filming a scene from the viking era or Spartacus. Quite thrilling really. Then as we pulled into port, our very own personal FIREWORKS! Just like Disneyland.. The only thing I didn't care for were the small children, and I mean small, small kids. I don't think strollers have a place on this kind of dinner cruise. Maybe not for kids under 12. Why not get a babysitter for the night and go out alone and have a relaxing evening out, like a date?????? So recap ---- I'm on a Pirate Ship in the Gulf of Mexico check It is dark out and the ship is all lit up check Ongoing entertainment check Cocktails galore check Lobster Dinner check Sexy crew check Professionalism all the way check Ends in fireworks check I L I K E B E I N G I N T H I S F A N T A S Y L A N D ! We don't have this in Minnesota..........

I tried leaving my honest review on the ship's website and it wouldn't let me.

Not very happy!!! The staff is very friendly and professional. The food was good. Better than some of the stuff they feed us at the all inclusive hotels. The show was not very entertaining. We where mad because we never left the dock because of rain. But the ship next to us the Jolly Roger did go out to sea. I couldn't wait to get off!!! Would not recommend it. You are packed into the ship! There is zero social distancing. Dinner was served down stairs in an enclosed room with no windows. Yes there was many people not wearing masks and sneezing and coughing!!! Staff do there best but some people just don't listen.

Dancing on the boat.

Okay overall. Pros: crew worked hard to keep us engaged. They took temps at the entry. Hand sanitizer was given out. Signs to wear masks posted. Waiters did good getting our orders out. The food was good given the cooked for 80 people on a ship. Cons: we were packed in. No social distancing. Mask rule was not enforced. Jokes were for adults and kids didnt get them. Games were drinking games you would find at the hotel pool. Tip: Spring for the VIP section as you get you own area.

Holy ..... This is a complete experience that you should not pass up! I took my family here when I…read morevisited Cancun and cannot believe how amazing this venture was. From the entirely edible menu, literally edible, to the smoking drink, the steak that melted in my mouth, to the breathtaking show, that had movement at every eye angle. Young, to the wise, will enjoy this. Note, I was planning on going to the Coco bongo show, unknowingly, thinking it was a Las Vegas type of show, to finding out it was a party venture, so I swapped that out for the Cirque du Soleil and it was the best decision of our entire vacation in Mexico. Yes, it may cost a little bit more, but it is totally worth every penny! The staff was super friendly and helpful with my mother, who was unable to walk long distances. So definitely handicap, accessible and friendly. They have wheelchairs to get family members that have disabilities up to their seats and elevators as well to help.

What an amazing performance! It's bilingual Spanish/English and the dinner/ Show ticket's are worth…read moreit! We arrived and were greeted by a beautiful young lady in amazing makeup. She escorted us in for a quick, private vip cocktail show. Afterwards we were seated right in front of the stage where live music was being played as they served us dinner. The service was excellent and the food was a visual performance in itself! This is a must see if you are in the Cancun/ Riviera Maya area.
