Caption: Pirate Night with Mickey Mouse and his friends on board Disney Cruise Line.Continuing with my adventures on board Disney Fantasy Cruise, another highlight of this trip was Pirate Night. This day is inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, so everything on the ship (shows, restaurant menus and dress code) is fully themed with pirates.
To start the day, as I ́ve left my cabin and headed for breakfast, across the hallways, I could listen to the pirate soundtracks, so this means that as soon as you wake up all the atmosphere sets you in a playful and lively pirate mood.
I enjoyed my breakfast with the gorgeous views of the green mountains and the crystal clear water in Tortola Island, which is the largest British Virgin island in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, at noon it was rainy and cloudy, so I 've decided to stay on the ship and go to all the on board activities. I had so much fun with the pirate games and trivias. I love that there are several activities for all ages, so if you don't want to explore the port or the weather conditions are not friendly, you still can have a great time exploring the ship.

All the characters are dressed up as pirates and they look so cute! This show has the special appearance of Captain Hook and Mr. Smee. We sang and danced to all the pirate songs, and then we went to dinner. All the restaurant staff were dressed for the occasion (as pirates) and they welcomed us with a cheerful “Ahoy matey”. The restaurant menu resembles an old treasure map and the food options are inspired by Caribbean cuisine. You can tell that every detail adds up to the full pirate experience.

Their costumes are so cool, everyone is so committed to embracing their inner Captain Jack Sparrow. Additionally, every guest receives a complimentary pirate bandana to enhance our outfits. The atrium is also a meet and greet point to take pictures with all Disney characters, my favorite ones are Donald Duck, Stitch and Mickey.

The show must go on and at 10pm we all went back to deck eleven where Captain Jack Sparrow and his fellow pirates took us into a journey to discover a sparkly treasure in the sky: FIREWORKS! Yes, to wrap up a perfect pirate night we enjoyed a breathtaking fireworks spectacle.
