    It works if you have kids only or are going for the open bar. Out of it you'll be bored out of your mind. We got here at 6 and the boat left at 7. We basically waited until everyone took pictures with the pirates (that took an hour or so). Dinner was good it was a lot of good buffet style. Pretty good food and drinks. Basically the crowd paying for the show are the entertainment.... I'm writing the review as I watch the show (that's how bored I was). The show ends at 10 so my bf and I are stuck here until 10. Overall if you have kids you'll enjoy it. We're just 2 adults so if you're in a crowd of adults only we wouldn't recommend it. For kids and family yes. It's really cute before getting on the boat. There are many places for pictures.

    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.

    This show was amazing. Now I will say I booked through the hotel which probably could've been a…read morebetter deal booking on own as you can book directly through the site with transportation to and from your hotel. The only reason why I recommend that is because I was able to take a ride share to the venue however coming back taxis were the only option and it ended up being double the price of a ride-share. With that being said the whole venue is set up very nicely. You get there plenty of time to check in walk around the grounds. They have a lovely open air bar area and plenty of things to look at while you're waiting for the show to start. I ended up buying the VIP dining experience which includes a pre show cocktail ( with mini bartender performance), the three course meal along with half of a bottle of champagne and an appetizer as well. Every part of the meal from start to finish really was a presentation. Started off with a beautiful round plate that had an interactive portion with a flower that had edible petals. You took off the flower petals and then poured the dressing on top of it and mixed it up, which was one of my favorite things for the evening. The plates themselves were definitely custom-made as each item had a little indentation to make sure that they were properly aligned in the exact same spot for every single person who received. The main course I selected was the beef short ribs, which came out in essentially a rock covered plate that once lifted off, you could see the lovely presentation of the beef. The veggies were presented in a small bone and then also the sweet potatoes were in a ramekin that had a lovely lid on them. Last, but not least the desserts came out in a book that when you turned it and opened it, presented four different dessert options three of the four were ok there was one I was just not a fan of. The venue itself was set up so almost every seat in the house had a really good view of the stage. Upon entering the venue, they had live music with a quartet on the stage that had a harp of all things, and that was super amazing. The quartet played while the main portion of dinner was served and then right when the desserts came out was when the show started. From start to finish, the show was extremely entertaining. I can't believe that the 80 minutes went by so quickly you blink and the show is over with. Although I do not speak Spanish. It was easy enough to follow along the theme of the show as well as a lot of it really is the acrobatics and showcasing the talent of all of the individuals as part of the production. I really enjoyed the fact that they have three platforms inside of the seating area and the show really does take up the entire space of the venue multiple layers, multiple levels and multiple different activities going on. It really made you feel like you were in an immersive experience. Every section of the performance really gave you a great respect for the talent and the energy that it takes to create their craft but also how precise they are doing so. There is even one part of the show where an audience participant got pulled up on stage, which was quite hilarious and the whole thing was just so entertaining. Since everything's already prepaid, once the show is over with you're able to depart without any need for waiting around for a check Only downside is that there are not a lot of restrooms in the venue itself. The ladies room had three stalls and one of which was accessible so that made for a long line after the show was over. If you have the ability to go see this, I'd highly recommend taking the time and pre-booking your transportation to make it a little bit less stressful.

    Overall it was a decent show. Definitely have seen better ones. I agree with others viewers that…read morethe story line was weak and most of the performers were okay. Impressive yes, but nothing that wowed me like cirque du soleil usually does. Additionally, the start time of the show is misleading. Tickets state 8pm start time but that's not the case. Show didn't start until 9:15pm. You had to wait in an outdoor lounge in this humidity. Lastly, I would be weary of the food. I purchased a ticket that came with appetizers and oh my god. As soon as I ate them I started feeling awful. Fast forward to me throwing up several times that night. God only knows how long the food was sitting in that humid theater for. Overall, not worth the $200 ticket price.
