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.

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.

Really nice show! I had an amazing time I 100% recommended. I had so much fun. The only thing that I did not like is that the waiter(tortuga)kept telling us at least 4 times to give him a tip. At the end we left $100 pesos in the treasures box and our waiter at the end of the show when we were walking off the boat he ask us if we again if we had anything extra for him so annoying. Captain Jack was the best he is such a good performer. read more

Purchased this pirate dinner show two days to departure . The weather was bad and it wasn't safe to go in the sea witch is understandable for the safety reasons but when I asked to get a refund because the show wouldn't be complete without actually being in the sea and actually experiencing the whole show the way it supposed to be , I was told that there is no refunds due to the weather conditions, the only option I was given was to take a credit that is good for 1 year . Also they charge me and my 6 year old kid $20 disembarkation fee that I couldn't believe I was charged because the ship wasn't leaving anywhere . Then I asked for the manager and was told that I still have to pay this fee because this was a promotional rate and whether or not we re actually taking of we still had to pay. This is Mexican mentallity. They don't think about repeated business. No ifs or buts ,no refunds and that's that. The show is very weak . Defiantly not what I expected. Very little action and drinks were very watered down and really sucked . The food was okey and . The waited named dolphin was nice and gave very good service. No complaints there. Maybe other more expensive ships are nicer and have allot to offer but I felt cheated on this ship . By the way , I almost never right reviews, I'm a very reasonable and humble person but this company defiantly cares about nothing but showing this package down your throat and there is no if's or buts , if the weather is bad , too bad , you ain't getting your money. Enjoy the show being docked and pay $15 per person disembarkation fee. Insane . My advice, if you really want to go see the pirate show, pay more and use other company . Stay away !!! read more

Our ship ride was fun, entertaining and the food was good. We were lucky enough to get a spot with actual seating rather than having to sit on stools, just get there early enough to be at the head of the line and you should be able to get a good seat. They had a very efficient way of getting us in line for food and while it was a buffet style you still got to sit down at an actual table to eat, so I don't know why people are reporting that they had to eat on their stools... read more

Looking for something to do other than bar hopping for three hours? Captain hook is more than that. You get unlimited drinks and drunk pirates to entertain you on a boat . The food? Meh... You're basically on a booze cruise that is pirate themed. The price was a bit steep but overall it was a good time if you like drinking and dancing. read more

Last week I had one of the worst experiences of my life. From the extremely rude staff lady at the entrance to the extremely rude staff on board this was a complete waste of money and time. They over crowd the boat on purpose and that leaves one wait staff for about 40 people. DO NOT WASTE any time and money on this ridiculous experience. read more

This is Cancun's ultimate dinner show and party boat. The staff is lively and engaging. The food consists of steak, lobster or chicken. Reasonably priced for food and entertainment. I would highly recommend planning an excursion while vacationing in Cancun. Kudos to the captain and pirates. read more

Do not buy tickets for this. First of all, it was too expensive. The dinner was just basic, we had lobster and steak and it cost us $124 each. The boat was hot and humid and the show terrible. Complete waste of money and even worse time. 3 1/2 hours of good vacation time gone to waste. There were people there that had been there a year ago and said it used to be good but they even admitted that it was terrible this time around. Too many people on it and you can't really see anything. Save yourself a big waste of time and money. I give it a real zero rating! read more

How this has less than 5 stars is beyond me!! I have been to Cancun 3 times and I have NEVER had this much fun there! The ship is amazing! Our "waiter/entertainer" was "Monkey". He provided better service than I have ever had in the states in a restaurant, much less on a full fledged acting ship! The entire evening was phenomenal! The food was absolutely perfect, best meal that we had on our 5 days in Cancun! I don't want to give too much away about the entertainment, but there are some really cool surprises. Lots of action! Do yourself a favor and take the time to book the adventure! We booked through our hotel and it was $40! read more

This was a terrible, terrible waste of money! We had 2 kids 10 and 5. The tour states, family friendly! B.S.!!!!!!! The target market is 21 -maybe 30 and 50 and over, with no kids! Very, very hokey, TERRIBLE food, I mean TERRIBLE! Drinks with no alcohol, I mean NO ALCOHOL! Music from 1999, no kidding, or earlier erras! How stupid do they think we are? Fool me once, you really pi**ed me and my family off, you will NEVER DO IT AGAIN! Please people, I am honestly telling you that there are better ways to spend your money! I miss Mexico from 15 years ago! I was truly hoping to give my kids a great experience and even my 5 year old saw how LAME and BAD this tour was going to be 15 minutes after it began! When we were finally freed from this HELL ship, many of us were venting to each other about how TERRIBLE it was! Save yourself from this disaster and find something different to do! A Siesta on the beach would be time better spent! To the lovely lady I vented with getting off this ship from hell, did I beat your Mom to Yelp? I already posted on Trip Advisor! My Husband plans to vent in the morning! It was a pleasure venting with you and the lovely Canadian friends we spoke with! BTW, none of us were sharing fond memories of this tour! Take your money elsewhere! read more

We were in Cancun last week and my husband signed us up for this. What was the entertainment? I have no idea as it was just this fat guy in a pirate suit with a bunch of waiters as his cohorts acting stupid. My kids were STARVING as they kept us hostage in a cramped box on the side until it was our turn 2 hours into the show. The food was crap - my kids as hungry as they were could only eat the baked potatoes. Then the seating to eat was limited -some woman had three handbags sitting on chairs and wouldn't let us sit. Where were the wait staff to help us? Instead of serving us they had to do the show so it was buffet style garbage food and NO service. Did I mention that sitting on those chairs was TORTURE? By the end of the nightmare my butt was killing me. My husband will never live that decision to sign up for this b.s. EVER. My kids are still upset they wasted an evening of their vacation. The worst part is if you want to leave - YOU CAN'T - you are stuck for the duration of the evening. Just reliving the experience by writing this review is making my blood boil. read more

Overall, the pirate dinner was very interesting for me. At first, me being a Chinese male, I was very uncomfortable with the new culture of Cancun. However, after the crew went on and on (definitely not stalling) about how we are all Mexican or something like that, and I listened to some songs I didn't know, and heard the shared culture of Japan, my eyes were opened that I really really had no idea what was happening like I was lost the whole time. (Spoilers) Im glad the story incorporates real life legend jack sparrow, and I learned a lot of accurate pirate history that I hadn't known before. My favorite part was definitely the stereo that was not fit for the strength of the mic, and the body heat of many adults and children jumping around. read more

It was raining on the evening of this activity but they did not cancel? They covered the ship with black tarps and you're squished on a small deck with a bunch of people. Don't waste your money. They make you sit on stools! So uncomfortable! And the food is bland! The entertainment is corny. Save your money and go out to a nice restaurant instead. read more

This was a very disappointing experience. My wife and I booked and arrived at the boat about 6.00pm. The line to get on was super long and took about 30 minutes to make it to the entrance of the boat. Once on the boat I felt we were being herded like cattle (there must have been over 150-200 people in line walking through tight enclosed spaces). The boat was in rough shape to say the least, not a replica as promised, and the diesel fumes from the main engines we strong. Passengers where crammed into row seating in front of sticky grease laden narrow bench style tables. We were told loudly to stay standing in line to have our picture taken. We told the lady we did not want to have our picture taken and stated we would prefer to sit down. She ordered us to remain in line. Asking for a third time just to be seated, and once again being refused loudly, picture or no picture stay in line. We decided that this experience was not going to get any better as the night went on. We jumped out of line, exited the boat and returned to our Resort in a Taxi. Our loss their gain. read more

My experience on this trip was so bad that it actually prompted me to join Yelp just so I could try to prevent others from wasting their hard earned money on this travesty. It was so bad that on several occasions my wife and I debated how difficult it would be to jump ship and swim to shore. That's because once you get started there is no way off. We were picked up at our hotel at 5:30 and returned a little before 11:00. That's hours and hours of sitting on an uncomfortable stool just hoping that the boat will spring a leak so the coast guard will take us off sooner. I was expecting something like Medieval Times but with pirates. Don't let yourself be fooled. The first hour of the journey consisted of the captain telling incredibly bad/corny jokes. Now, I love corny jokes and tell them all the time but spending big money to listen/watch them is another story. Entertainment consisted of kids playing musical chairs (yes, honestly this went on for at least 20-30 minutes), screaming which country you come from, a slow motion fight scene that went on way longer than should have (yes, they pretended to fight in slow motion like when you were 8 years old). We opted for the steak and lobster and in all honesty this was BY FAR the worst steak (grey meat) and worst lobster (burned) I have ever had. The side dishes were no better. We're talking way over cooked broccoli and potato salad. At the end of the trip the crew went around soliciting tips from everybody and then asked for tips again as we tried to get off the boat. After dinner the entertainment was mostly dancing to mostly really bad music. The Captain screaming into the microphone almost the entire time (reminded me of the Office where Micheal Scott tries to DJ). There was a small fight scene when other boats come together and this definitely a highlight but by then I really didn't care and just wanted to get off... read more

I was very disappointed during our last visit. This show was one our family favorite shows in Cancun and made it a ritual to go every time we visited Cancun. Since the first time I went 10 years ago, the entire family has enjoyed it from the youngest to the oldest. Even last year, we managed to enjoy it even though we didn't like the idea of purchasing a bottle in order to get a better spot when the show is all inclusive. My family and I went to the show last week (party of 19) and had to buy 3 bottles of the most expensive tequila in order to get the "VIP" area that had supposedly a better view to the show. To our surprise, they placed a family in front of us blocking our view. The food was mediocre, I am thinking this is due to the 2x1 special. The show lacked enthusiasm, professionalism and organizational/acting skills. To conclude the night, our server was discontent with our 22% tip and asked for an additional 5% making us feel very uncomfortable. As we walked out we noticed that the family sitting in front of us left their bottle behind, we grab it and rushed to catch up and give it back. Our server rushed behind us and begged the family to gift him the bottle. This whole situation was just embarrassing and disappointing. I hope this comment can help reinforce the quality of the show. It is sad that such a great show can leave such an ugly impression on people that come from all over the world to have a good time and enjoy this beautiful place. read more
