We LOVED the Jolly Roger Pirate show in Cancun and would highly recommend it to anybody here. We booked it not knowing exactly what to expect, and were pleasantly surprised at what a fun crew, shows, band, dinner, unlimited drinks, and experience it would be. The crew seemed like professionals from a major production company, and the views of the bright turquoise waters and sunset were amazing. We aren't easy to surprise with thrills, but this was amazing!! read more

It was so much fun!!! This was our second time and it even surpassed the first!!!!! High energy from the staff and the show. The Food was very good. Will go again the next time we are in Cancun!!! read more

Very entertaining we had an excellent time. The crew were great about including everyone. "The Captain" of the ship was very funny along with all that were part of the show. Bonnie was our server and kept the drinks flowing and the surf and turf dinner was unbelievably good. read more

This was a great evening activity! I originally booked this for my husband who loves pirates, and the gentleman who we booked with via phone made me excited for this by time I ended the call; his actual words were "I'm a local and I recommend it!" First of all, the show is kid-friendly, but don't confuse that with it being a kiddy show, it's not. The entire crew is dressed in theme and the ship is truly decked out (even the restrooms are decorated!). The food was delicious; we got the deluxe package and I had the langostino lobster (comes with 2 lobster tails) and my husband had the surf and turf (lobster tail and steak), unfortunately I didn't get any pictures but it really was very tasty! It is a very audience interactive show and that helps to make it over the top. If you need an evening activity, I definitely suggest trying the Jolly Roger Pirate Show! read more

We booked a show tonight, received incorrect address from Google and Uber. We called for a refund and they told us to come and they would get us on the ship. They sent the rescue boat back for us and took us to the ship and treated us great! This was the most fun of all the things we did an Cancún. They were also the only place that made a mango margarita on the rocks for my lady, and, she said it was the best she's had. 5 stars to the cast and crew for going ABOVE and BEYOND for us. It made our vacation! read more

Pirate Show Cancún - Some of the fun. - Performing Arts Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Two hooks up. Until the finale, the show was pretty sophomoric and low-rent, but fun. The finale was dope. The food was great. Recommended.

This was the only tour that was available on our last night in Cancun. It was nice that they also provided transportation to and from our hotel. When we arrived, we had to pay the docking fee and choose the main entree for our dinner. My friend and I both chose the surf and turf and then waited to board the ship. During this time, some of the crew members will play around with you or try to scare you LOL. Non alcoholic drinks were also provided, so I tried the tamarind agua fresca. You are appointed to someone that will be taking care of you on the ship, so make sure you remember which "team" you belong to. Once you board, they take a professional photo of you with the captain while the lived band plays some familiar tunes. We decided to get a couple of margaritas to start with and then the show began! I liked that they speak in Spanish and English during the entire show. There was a lot of action packed scenes and a couple guys even jumped in the water! Beware that there were some gory scenes, so it might not be appropriate for little ones. When it was time for dinner, we were escorted downstairs. We made a line to get our side items with our main course at the end. The whole process was very organized! I also got to take a photo with the band, which was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed my dinner and was stuffed! For dessert, I tried the cream puff and it was pretty good. Afterwards, our server/bartender made us some kind of slushy, which was refreshing! At the end of the show, you can take photos with the cast, so that was pretty cool. I recommend on attending this show if you are looking for something different and fun to do while in Cancun. read more

Excellent service! Bottomless drinks! Food was very good!!! It's a long show but good show. Very enjoyable! Captain Jack talks through the entire show . Getting on the ship was a bit irritating. A lot of the locals behind us would push to the front and were very rude. As we were getting on, we decided to skip the pictures and just go sit down. we went upstairs to sit down and we're chased out because it was for VIP only which starts at about $75 in addition to the $110.00 2 for one meal which is an excellent deal But we didn't want to pay $75 because with the $75 you get a bottle of liquor and we were pretty liquored up. lol!! We had an excellent waiter, and I wish I had captured his picture, but he kept the piña coladas and the shots of tequila coming to us as we sat downstairs on deck. The rest is all just a big blur. We were so happy with this show, food liquor service that we tipped a whopping $50 which is the biggest tip we've ever given in our lives. It's a world record.!!! but the tip was well worth it being that all the drinks were free. I don't know how many shots of tequila we had but it was so much fun sharing with our new friends. I had about four piña coladas. My friend, had about four piña, coladas, and six shots of tequila, something like that anyways! read more

Awesome night of entertainment very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend getting the VIP package and you'll be treated like a king and a queen. Highly recommend. Not necessarily good for children I would say. read more

This evening exceeded my expectations! 6 people, 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 2 kids (5-1/2 and 12), had a ball. Extremely organized. Covid protocols. Food, not very good, but, with unlimited drinks (alcohol included), didn't matter. Your waiter is also part of the cast. What an amazing show!! Starts with a great rock band, guitarist was incredible. When the show begins, non stop action! The story, humor, athleticism and ability to switch seamlessly from English to Spanish was amazing. Who wouldn't love pirates, treasure, sword fighting, walking the plank!! Then add fireworks and a great dance party! Great entertainment for the whole family! Special thanks to Logan, who took such great care of us!! read more

This is our first time attending the Jolly Roger pirate show in Cancun. All the staff was amazing at accommodating to us; each worker had an x amount of customers to cater and grab drinks for. We had Logan and he was excellent making sure we got enough drinks throughout the show (when he's in the show himself). He was extremely nice and during dinner he made sure to seat us. I must say the service was excellent! The show was full of entertainment and they get the crowd involved as much as they can. In the beginning and end of the show they have music to get everyone to dance on the ship. I don't want to go into details about the show and ruin it for people who have now seen it. We've done all the other main excursions already the first time in Cancun 1.5 years ago. I'm glad we didn't to do the Jolly Roger. This show is for all ages as well. read more

We booked on the Jolly Roger at the actual pier and the guy who booked us was very kind and didn't try to up sell us at all which I appreciated. When we got to the ship, they were very organized and also had safety protocols in place for Covid. They provided everyone with face shields to make it easier to eat and drink. The show was impressive and the actors clearly care about their jobs. After the show we went down in the ship for dinner- I had the steak and my husband had the shrimp tacos, both of which were cooked to perfection! Our waiter (who was also part of the show) was extremely prompt and professional- we were very satisfied with his attentiveness to us even in the midst of his acting in the show. After dinner and dessert we went back on deck and were treated to a dance party while we made our way back to the dock. At the end of the trip the captain did an ask for tips for both the waiters and the actors which was done in a very professional manner. Because we went during off season and in the middle of Covid, there were probably only 60 or so guests. I think the ship can hold a couple hundred guests and I'm not sure it would have been as enjoyable had the ship been packed. All in all we had a great time. read more

Just wow!!!! We were on the Jolly Roger and it was a fantastic show that was fine for adults and kids alike. The food was good, and the staff was excellent well worth the money! Where do it again in a heartbeat read more

See all

The Jolly Roger experience overall averages 3.5 stars. Also don't pay full price for the show, see tips below for details! Food (2 stars): the food was cafeteria style dinning with buffet quality. You get your main course item slapped on top of a bunch of sides that everyone else gets. Ergo, the upgrade for the lobster or lamb is not worth the money. Drinks (3 stars): the drinks are "premium" and abundant, but don't get carried away ordering fancy mixed drinks. Any mixed drink with more than 2 ingredients won't taste right. However, they do make good blended drinks. The Pina colada and Mangonada are worth a try. Also shots are like triple the amount of an American shot...drink responsibly. Show (3 stars): The actors do put in a lot of effort to make the show interactive. However, the actors first say the line in Spanish and then say the same line in English. Although most people can follow the plot, a lot of dialogue is confusing and the jokes aren't as funny when told that way. Regardless, it's still entertaining and overall a good experience. Service (5 stars): the pirates are very friendly and definitely do try hard to make sure you're always attended to. Whatever you ask, if reasonable, they'll try to make it happen. Pro tip: try to be seated in the front row of the second deck. It has the best view and often has more privacy (i.e. less crowded). It is worth sliding a few bills for those seats on a busy night. If you want more interaction though, by all means, sit on the bottom deck. Also, spend time doing research to get the best price and definitely don't pay at the door. The cheapest tickets we found (the day of) was actually on their website. You can also call them (if you speak fluent Spanish) and negotiate a deal. However, if they sell out of tickets on their website, you can still try Tripadvisor. They some times have pre-purchased seats (although a little more expensive). Of note: feel free to tip your waiter throughout the night, but there's a designated time at the end where they go around collecting tips and all the workers split the tips evenly. All in all, the show is entertaining and an enjoyable night when you're with the right people. The show probably is a good place to take the family or just to chill with friends and a few drinks. But definitely not for dirty-30s or bachelorette parties. There are many other ways to celebrate the latter while in Cancun! read more

It's fun for the kids. And the actors put a lot of work into the Jolly Roger show. Drinks flow as well. And food is good. Dancing for everyone read more

This was my first time in Mexico Cancun and I came to Jolly Roger Pirate show in Cancun and it was definitely worth it. I paid 102$ per person plus 11.00$ per person for port fee that Mexico requires. The show is for all ages. Alcoholic drink and non alcoholic drinks are included, food is included and the show. The crew on board are so friendly, kind, super funny and wonderful hospitality. You can tell they honestly love there job and enjoy making people happy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in Cancun Mexico ! Thank you Jolly Roger read more

This tour is worth every cent as far as the entertainment portion. From sound, light, to the pyrotechnics everything hits its ques. From the moment you check-in and receive your wristbands you are now a part the extravaganza. The actors and waiters are out on the pier to introduce themselves, take pictures, and get to know each guest. Our personal pirate(waiter) Lucas even went as far as to take out drink orders so that the wait wouldn't be long once we were on board. This is customer service at its finest. The only reason that this tour isn't receiving 5 stars is because of the food. The food portions are bountiful, but the advertised food did not match the food received. More specifically the steak options. It is advertised as a New York Strip steak and we received a piece of steak that was not close to a New York Strip Steak. I ordered surf and turf and did not eat my steak. It was not what appeared in the advertised picture. Other than that minor setback, I would DEFINITELY recommend going on this tour! read more

This show was a ton of fun for the whole family. Staff were very attentive to our needs. Our glasses were always full. Unfortunately I had to take away a star because we had to wait a long time to eat as the galley can only hold a portion of the ships patrons at a time. Also the food was still just meh. My salmon was good but my husbands steak and lobster were both over cooked. When you order your food they ask how you want your steak cooked but it's sort of a joke because all the steaks are served from a pan so you get what you get. Anyway the show itself was very entertaining and the staff were awesome. Despite the food I totally recommend it. read more

We have done both Captain Hook and Now Jolly Roger. This is by far superior! The entire experience was a highlight of our trip. Our personal pirate was Drogon (Sp). What a great service professional and fantastic with the kids! The entire cast is that way but wow did he stand out at the top. We certainly would do this again. Kids did t want to leave. Amenities are fantastic. Super clean ship. Restrooms like the hotel. Great drinks and wow what a meal. Not over cooked and not buffet. Truly a great dinner with tons of food. I had lobster which was better than Lorenzillos the previous night which cost double with no entertainment or service near as good! read more

The show itself was awesome. Great story line. But the atmosphere of children and really drunk adults was inappropriate. It even made me and my boyfriend uncomfortable. The food was okay, I wouldn't go again but it's really great for kids. read more

The Jolly Roger Pirates Show was great! My son 13 and my daughter 9 had a great time! They enjoyed watching their parents get taken away by pirates. If you show up early enough you get to interact with the pirates. We met Barba Loca (Crazy Beard) who is one of the funniest stars of the show. The show is in both in Spanish and English so everyone gets to enjoy it. If you sit in the top deck you may have great views, but if you're at the bottom deck you are front row and become part of the show as soon as we discovered. The food was good, better than expected. The kids had chicken nuggets and fries and my daughter had spaghetti. My wife had surf and turf and her steak was tasty. I had the lobster and was surprised as how big the it was and how delicious it tasted. You also had access to salad and steamed vegetables as well as other sides. Our waiter was Kraken and he was very accommodating bringing everything we asked from the open bar. It's not just plastic liquor but it's top shelf and so Ron de Zacapa was my poison. The show was great and at the end they represented all of the different countries if the people on board which we thought was a cool move. read more

Pros: (1) HILARIOUS show (2) Good variety of tasty drinks (2) Friendly/attentive staff (3) 4 hour activity in total, reasonably priced, 85-100 depending on your meal selection Cons: (1) Pasta dish is a step down from lein cuisine, my friend said the lobster/steak meat was tough and too $$, my other friend recommended the fish dish (not able to comment on the chicken dish) (2) The backless wooden benches you sit on for the majority of the night become very uncomfortable - if you can bring some type of cushion, your booty will thank you :) Recommendations: (1) Bring a hat or hair ties as you are in the open, windy air majority of the night (2) Eat something prior as drinks are served well before dinner which is towards the end of the night (3) Bring money to tip your drink server and actors (choose which pirate suited your fancy :) (4) If you wear a dress, note there are steep stairs to be mindful of (commando may not be the best route, for you!) read more

This is a great show to see. It's suitable for families with kids of all ages. The food was actually very good. The portions were huge. Honestly some of the tastiest we had during our stay in Cancún. If you book your tickets through your hotel or third party vendor. Make sure you go to the box office first to pick up your physical boarding passes. The show is exciting and their is a great surprise towards the end. Actually amazing how well they pull everything off. I would definitely recommend seeing if your are in the area. read more

I really enjoyed the pirate show. Its obvious the show's actors love their job. They did a great job of keeping the crowd entertained and engaged. The service was excellent as well, our package included unlimited drinks and they made sure to round frequently ensure the guests were served.

One of the top things to do in cancun!The show was great and the food was fantastic! The service and attention you get from everyone is top notch!

This was the most fun I've had in a long time. I didn't expect to laugh and dance the night away! A huge shout out to Grace and the entire pirate cast for an outstanding performance. The food was very good for vegetarians (me), but looked great for the carnivores. A great time overall, but I would not recommend for children read more

I almost never write reviews on Yelp, but I have to give it up for the Pirate Show Cancun. My family and I went to Cancun for vacation last week and we saw this show on Saturday. It was truly an amazing experience! Our pirate/waitress was Chapiz (sp). She was so friendly, sweet, and attentive to my family and me from the moment she introduced herself. Definitely made the whole experience more enjoyable. I also need to thank her for helping me (try to) learn the dance steps when the pirates randomly dragged me on stage and incorporated me into their show. lol I think all of the pirates in the show are super talented. They all act well, dance beautifully, speak fluent English and Spanish, serve food & drinks, interact with the audience, and put on a terrific show. Honestly, what they do is tremendous and worth watching at least once if you're ever in the area. I highly recommend it! Special shout-out to Crazybeard. He was my favorite pirate in the whole show. Very funny, perpetually drunk (lol), and one of the coolest guys I've ever met. If he sees this, I just want to say it was nice meeting you and...Cowabunga! :-) read more

Really fun enviroment, the food was okay not the best. The staff is really attentive and fun! We enjoyed our Jolly Roger pirate show and dinner. If you want to sit on top decks then when they say " lets make a line follow the pirate" make sure you are one of the first. If you want to be more part of the show and sit in the bottom deck where all the action is at and where you will more than likely participate then be in the back part of the line. Dinner goes in phases and show continues, top decks eat earlier and low deck eats last around 9 pm . read more

The Jolly Roger was amazing! Definitely a must do while you're in Cancun! The show was hilarious, the food was good. At one point in the show they took the kids away to "look for treasure" when the humor was more for adults. Parents got a break for a bit and my kid came back ecstatic with chocolate coins. We had an amazing time and so did the kids! They even have a tarp over the seats so you're not getting burnt during the show and the seats were spacious. read more

Pirate Show Cancún - Amazing show! - Performing Arts Near Me - Cancún, ROO

We did our first pirate cruise in Puerto Vallarta so we wanted to check out how the pirate cruise was in Cancun. There were a lot of great things about the Cancun show that made it a fun experience. First, just like our cruise in Puerto Vallarta, the food was amazing. Without the upgrade, you have a choice of salmon, chicken, or steak. You can also upgrade your entree to get lobster. My sister and father got the chicken, my husband and I got the salmon, and my mom got the steak. My father said it was some of the best chicken he has ever eaten. I loved my salmon and my mom thought her steak was pretty good. With your main entree, you also get scalloped potatoes, noodles, a shish kabob, a salad, and a roll. All of the sides were delicious. I'd say the only disappointing thing about dinner was the dessert, which was a bald cupcake. Other than that, it was spot on. Another thing I liked about the cruise was the service. You are assigned a pirate for the night who fulfills all of your drinking needs. My drink never went empty the whole night, which was awesome. Given the food and the amazing service, I wanted to give this cruise 4 stars. With that said, I wasn't really impressed with anything else the rest of the night. The show was OK. It had a lot of lewd humor in it, which is fine.....except for the fact that they solely relied on crude jokes because they didn't have any better ideas for humor. The show gets far worse after dinner. It isn't that it is absolutely horrible....it is more that the script just can't survive that long. Furthermore, they weren't doing the best job translating. My sister is fluent in English and Spanish....and she noticed that a lot of the time the pirates were only speaking one language and neglecting to translate. In addition to the poor show, the fireworks were a little disappointing. They had about three go off, which is fine....but then don't say you have a fireworks show. Finally, although it was an open bar, the drinks were pretty weak. I'd recommend switching to wine, beer, or shots if you want to take full advantage of it. Some helpful hints. First, bring cash for tipping your server and performers. Second, you can park at the church down the street for free (rather than paying the fee in the lot next to the dock). Third, bring money for the port fee. In sum, excellent food and service, but I don't think I would do it again unless they improved the show, the weakness of the drinks, and the "fireworks." read more

I have been on both the Jolly Rodger and the other one and the Jolly Rodger is WAY better. The show is better acted, the food better tasing, and the people seem to care about your experience. I felt like the other pirate show people got too drunk, it was too hot and the food was horrible. read more

Amazing entertainment, great food, great service, and an open bar makes for a fantastic evening. Most importantly, the whole family was laughing along with these wonderful and multi-talented performers. I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun night. read more

Fuck this place we came for our daughters birthday paid for steak and they gave us chicken or tried to. Then they also charged us a port fee for leaving the port whitch we did not leave on account of the weather. Then when we asked to be let out it took them an hour and a half to let us off then they wouldn't give us our money back even though we didn't eat until I made a commotion which was followed by at least three other parties got up for the same reason. They were unprofessional and it ruined my daughters birthday dinner. Never would I recommend this place to anyone. Waste of precious vacation time. Pass this place the fuck by find something better to do while in Cancun. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed the entire experience from the show, to the music, to the food, to the drinks. The only reason why I would give them a 4 star is because we were asked several times to tip. I'm all for tipping but it is very aggressive when all the staff walks around asking for tips. read more
