From the minute the pirates call you down to get on the boat until the minute the cruise ends, it's fantastic. Our pirates were Captain Barnacle and Capable Kyle. They were both engaging and fun. There were lots of activities and Pirate Pop on board. They always had a few tricks up their sleeves too. I cannot give this cruise enough praise. By far our most favorite thing we did on Gulf Shores vacay.

The crew was energetic, stayed in character, and clearly worked hard to make the experience fun for…read morethe kids. That said, I think it's important for parents to know that this may not be the best fit for every child. There were several moments that seemed overwhelming for some of the younger or more sensitive kids. The crew repeatedly joked about "walking the plank," and I noticed more than a few children become upset or cry during those segments. While it was intended as playful pirate humor, not every child interpreted it that way. The biggest thing to be aware of is just how wet you can get. The cruise includes frequent water games, water fights, and bucket dumping. The crew does mention that guests may get wet, so this wasn't completely unexpected. However, I was walking back from the restroom (coming through the dry covered area) when an entire bucket of water was dumped on me. We were planning to go straight to dinner afterward, and I happened to be wearing a nicer dress and carrying a handbag. Thankfully my bag was water-resistant, but if I had been carrying paperwork, electronics, or a less durable purse, it could have been a problem. I understand that getting wet is part of the experience, but I do wish there had been a little more awareness of guests who were clearly dressed for plans after the cruise or a quick warning before a full bucket of water was poured. Especially just walking through the splash area from the restroom. One additional note: we've previously done the pirate cruise in Panama City Beach and personally preferred that experience. If you're expecting something similar, be aware that this cruise has a much heavier emphasis on water play and soaking guests. I'd also say this is much lower budget. The Panama City Beach cruise felt more focused on pirate adventure, storytelling, and character interaction, while this one centered much more on quick water games and pirate jokes. My recommendation would be to wear clothes you don't mind getting soaked and leave anything valuable or water-sensitive behind. If your child loves high-energy activities, water play, and pirate silliness, they'll probably have a great time. If they're more sensitive to surprises, getting splashed, or the idea of "walking the plank," this may not be the best fit.

I ordered the steamed crab legs-they were very good but the potatoes were delivered after the rest of the meal because they were still being prepared. The potatoes centers were still raw when they were delivered to the table. The corn on the cob was still frozen in the center so additional corn was brought out but it was the same situation-still frozen in the center. Our server, D, was gracious throughout the situation. The manager took a small amount off the bill for the vegetables but it seemed like more could have been done by management. They didn't come to the table to attempt any effort to make the situation better. There are so many restaurants in the area to choose from so I recommend you skip Shipp's.

But I decided to try their fried shrimp and added the fried shrimp app (five shrimp) to the order. We were amazed. I wrote here on Yelp that this rivals an unnamed restaurant that promises, "The best fried shrimp in the entire civilized world". Well I tried it a second time a couple days later. Meh. And then a third time. Better but still not as good as the first time. So, today we hit Doc's. OK, this is without question indisputably THE BEST FRIED SHRIMP IN THE ENTIRE CIVILIZED WORLD. Perfectly battered, perfectly fried and succulently juicy and moist. This is the gold standard. The consistency over the many years we have enjoyed it is insane. How does a kitchen do this? I dunno. But they do. We order the shrimp a la carte. No sides. A dozen each, except today I had six and a fried soft shell crab a la carte that was spectacular. We love this joint.
