Just went today with 2 friends. Wasn't really sure what to expect, but came in ready for fun... and it was really fun. The appetizers before the show were okay. Come early for lesser/no lines lines. They let you in 2 hours before. They had a variety: chicken wings, cold meats (turkey, ham) and cheeses, vegetable sticks, pasta, and some others. The chicken wings were really good, but then they ran out and had meatballs instead... not as good so I went to get a midori sour. Cocktails are $8 in the smaller plastic cups or 16 in a glass souviener cup (12 for plastic). The preshow starts about an hour before the show... but I missed most of it to go out and get friends, so I'm not really sure what was going on. They then start to seat you by the color of your ticket, green and blue are the sections way on the sides... so I am not sure how good the views are from there. It is a small place though. All the other sections I'm sure have awesome views.
At the beginning I wasn't really sure what was going on, but had a great time cheering and getting into it. I even participated!! It's true what people say, get into it and it will be sooo much more fun. It's cheesy but good fun. It is true that there is a lot of singing that goes on... probably why I wasn't sure what was going on at the beginning, but then about halfway through, there's more fighting. Show is about 1hr 45 min. The food was not bad, chicken was really tender. I had the shrimp with chicken, that was pretty good... I didn't try the beef and chicken combo, so I can't say for that one. At the end, they recommend giving a $5 tip for adults and $3 for kids.
Bottom line, come in ready for some cheesy fun and you will have fun...I mean c'om, you've got alcohol, pirates, friends... you can't really go wrong :)
