When we first arrived, two 50 year olds with no kids, we though this may be too kid-ish for us. Not what we were expecting. We were met on the docks by Charlie a pirate who offered us some upgraded seats.... if we bought a bottle of booze. We really weren't interested in a bottle of booze but the better seats sounded great, so we went along. It was so worth it, we had a great view of the main floor without being too crowded on the main floor. Charlie stuck with us the whole night. He really made the cruise fun. The food was excellent, the open at was nice, the personal attention was great. The evening started with a lot of kids activities, but as the evening went on the kids were so tired they were falling asleep and the parents were coming alive. We joked this was turning into a Rave. Loved all the dancing and the Latin music added a lot to feel like we were in Mexico. The two ships battling was fun and the pirates were climbing over our heads. I would highly recommend this cruise to kids of all ages, even in their 50's. Ask for Charlie!
