Pirate party question

[pickle2010]

Just wondering where the best spot to watch from is? Looks like you may be able to watch from balcony or ground floor? Do you need to go early to get a good spot. If so, do you have time if you are late diners to go early? If you don't go to dining, can you still get pirate head gear somewhere? somehow?

You will have plenty of time to go to late dining and still be on time fo the pirate night festivities. Where to watch depends on what you want. If you want to dance on the main floor--be there. We like to watch from the starboard "balcony" as this is the best spot for the fireworks IMHO.

This.

we watched the fireworks from the forward starboard Deck 12. The fireworks actually start about 15 minutes after the show starts. Quite late, especially if the night is chilly. :)

The shows are different depending on the ship, so the best watching point will depend on which boat you are on.

My friend said the best view of the firewworks on the Dream was while she was riding the aquaduck with her son. :)

I'm sure you could watch them from your verandah if you were on that side of the ship. I always go up to the pool deck to watch them and have a great view.

They don't have fireworks for the Alaska cruise...They don't do ANYTHING fun! No pirate party, no fireworks, no midnight dessert buffet...BOO! Oh don't worry, we still had an AWESOME time!

We got a letter in our cabin asking us to be sure that there were no items left on our balcony and to NOT watch from the balcony due to risk from a stray spark. Besides, the view is better from the open decks.

 

The dessert buffet has been eliminated on all ships; the official excuse was that no one came and there was too much waste. Of course the reason people didn't come is that it was so poorly advertised--only the regulars knew about it. Fireworks are not possible in Alaska due to government regulations.

They had the Dessert Buffet on the 2/1/14 Fantasy.

The Dinning room staff advised us of it at dinner . Yes poorly attended .

 

Plenty of time to attend the deck festivities after late dinning.

 

Beware of those kids swinging their plastic swords around at the party .

Saw many close calls for eye injuries if not actual injuries.

Yeah! Maybe they have re-instituted it...at least on some cruises. They have a few items that are not served at any other time on the cruise and are really yummy.
