Excellent service! Bottomless drinks!…read moreFood 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!

We LOVED the Jolly Roger Pirate show in Cancun and would highly recommend it to anybody here. We…read morebooked 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!!

3hr night club with 15mins of sword battle sold as a Pirate Battle cruise. AVOID…read more This is NOT Medieval Times on a boat. It is literally a loud 3hr night club with a forced humor comedy show. Only at the last third of the trip do we have a pirate battle. First, i want to say the performers did their best to entertain. I want to commend them for putting in the effort (hence the 2nd star), but this cruise fails miserably to give you an entertaining pirate show with action and story while you eat. You depart at 6:30pm and from departure to 8pm, you listen to the captain (Jack Sparrow in our case) try to run a comedy show involving audience participation, games, karaoke, and music and dancing... A LOT of music and dancing. With extremely loud club music and strobe lights. At 8pm, you finally eat. The food is so-so. The surf & turf is a lobster tail with a large cut of carne asada, not fillet mignon, not ribeye or NY steak. Carne asada. All this for $120 USD/person. Then comes the ship battle which is the main event sword fight among various characters. It lasts for about 15-20mins. It's good, but then more loud night club music as you make your way back to the dock and arrive at 10pm. CONCLUSION: This is a cruise for young people and/or for those who LOVE clubs. I am 45 and have always hated the loud cacophony of clubs. I tried my best to get to quieter areas of the ship, which is hard because the ship is so small and there are a lot of people all over. Many dancing, some hunched over drunk with vomit on the floor (they serve unlimited alcohol up until a certain hour). This is NOT the place i wanted to take my kids at all. IMPROVEMENTS: I would have liked this cruise more if it was more like Medieval Times where there is an actual story told from start to end, and you get scenes with action/battles acted out during the cruise. I feel bad for the performers. They are doing their best, but there just isn't any cohesion presented in the show that interests anyone who doesn't like dance clubs.

Oh such a horrible horrible experience, we went on this ship thinking we would enjoy and it was…read moresuch a drag, first of all it wasn't a pirate show it was more of Iike a rave party and they were even talking in Spanish so we couldn't understand a thing they said. The waiters were really nice but it was just pure nonsense. The food was horrible and there was barely any place to sit down. They served dinner at last 8:30pm we were so hungry and we were also with kids who were so hungry. Save your money and do not go here, it's a waste of money and time! I think a time share video would be better to sit and watch.

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.

6/8/24: During our first trip to Cancun, we stayed very close to this place. We wanted a bite to…read moreeat, so we figured this would be a good option. We went inside and were greeted immediately. They were pretty dead, so we thought our service would be quick. It wasn't. We were sat at a dirty table with sticky/mildew-smelling menus. I wanted to leave, but my fiancé wanted to give them a chance. I cleaned the table myself. The server came to take our order & it eventually came out as requested. I ordered chicken strips thinking it was a meal that couldn't be messed up. They had no taste at all. None! My fiancé loved his burger and ate his fries and mine. The chicken went to waste, unfortunately. All in all, it's an ok place to try if you're looking for American food. I just didn't enjoy my experience. When we left the restaurant and walked towards the street near the ice cream shop, the photographer from this restaurant ran after us and asked us to buy our photos. She was so far away from the restaurant & I was shocked that she followed us just to make that sale. My fiancé felt sorry for her and bought a photo and let her keep the change. Everyone has a hustle there. That's for sure.
