First, I will say that I was very surprised by this excursion. When standing in line I saw a lot of families, which kind of made me worried being that we were a early to mid 20s couple. I decided that I was going to make the most of our time there and I can say that that made ALL the difference. In the beginning it was a little tough to get drinks because our waiter was also trying to put on a show, but we then realized that we could just go to the bar ourselves so we had plenty of alcohol. The show was very entertaining, I even thought that at times it may not have been so appropriate for children (but only for somewhat uptight parents). Dinner was really nice, the food was good and we sat right next to the window and had a great view. There were some people around us that didn't look like they were having a great time, but as soon as we started trying to engage them (and get them to drink), they had a blast.
Takeaways:
Additude is everything. The show is entertaining, but you have to get involved and try to make it fun yourself.
Don't expect a romantic cruise or any nonfictional glance into the life of a pirate. Like others said, it is like a disco.
Unless you are a really fun person naturally, it probably won't be that fun for most people unless you take advantage of the open bar and have fun with other people taking advantage of the open bar.
If you're not planning on dancing in a somewhat cramped environment, then I would suggest something else.
