Jolly Roger Pirate excurision

[Sandy Smith]

We will be in Barbados on the Golden Princess in February, considering the Original Jolly Roger Pirate Party excursion. Has anyone done this? If so, what are your thoughts? Didn’t see anything related to transportation from the ship.

Sandy, Did This About 4 Yrs Ago. Had A Good Time. Lots Of Rum Punch

You Get On The Jolly Roger Right At The Pier Where Your Ship Is

Have A Good Time

Sandy, DW did this April 04 and had a great time. This particular pirate cruise had a wide range of age groups. Families with young children to approaching senior citizens. In addition to the ever flowing rum punch, you also got a nice cruise around the island to a quiet beach. While anchored, they put out the 'plank' for people to jump off as well as a roap swing into the water. We went to the beach to relax.

 

On the way back, the rum mysteriously found it's way into my cup more frequently. DW and I were remarried "Pirate Style".

 

Very fun day, but do not make any plans for that evening back on ship.

If you haven't done the Jolly Roger yet, don't miss it. We have done it twice. Had a great time. You will be transported from the cruise dock to the marina where the JR is docked.

My experience is that the pirate ship docked in the pier area right by our ship (Destiny). I saw folks coming off the Jolly Roger at the end of their trip and many of them were completely blotto. Not all from the same group, either. Some missed dinner.

 

Now, I'm sure the experience can vary widely based on the individuals. One gang of young adults I recognized from bars on the ship -- they were prone to having a good time but were hardly rambunctious. They were careening into the walls once back on the Destiny.

 

Wish I'd gone!

Did you book Jolly Roger on your own or from the cruise line? I e-mailed JR directly and have not gotten an answer . What's the best way to do this? Thanks

[heid5]

I would book with the cruise line. They will make sure that you make it back to the ship.

We went on it off the Legand in Jan 2006.....it was OUTSTANDING!:D

 

I remember the first 3 hrs...gotta love rum punch...lots of drinking, rope swinging, drinking, plank walking, drinking, and I Love You Man's!

 

The last thing I recall is the run punch being put away...I have no idea how we got back to the ship, but i was told the 4 of us held hands and sung our way tru the crusie terminal back to the ship...I think my friends mom was trying to hide from us(unsucessfulLy from what I was told) in the terminal.

You will have a great time if you like to have a good time with fellow drinkers!

I was thinking about doing this one for me and dh and ds (age 6).

My ds is not shy and I don't have him being in front of adults having a party - heck he is used to my family ;)

I read above that there were families of all ages - is is okay for me to take ds age 6 on this?

 

Does the crew dress like pirates?

[hookedup54]

Also - dh is not a strong swimmer - would that be an issue with this excusion? Thanks again!

I just tried to book this with Carnival - no can do - the minimum age is 21. Guess I'll have to book independently.
