That said, I think it's important for parents to know that this may not be the best fit for every child. There were several moments that seemed overwhelming for some of the younger or more sensitive kids. The crew repeatedly joked about "walking the plank," and I noticed more than a few children become upset or cry during those segments. While it was intended as playful pirate humor, not every child interpreted it that way. The biggest thing to be aware of is just how wet you can get. The cruise includes frequent water games, water fights, and bucket dumping. The crew does mention that guests may get wet, so this wasn't completely unexpected. However, I was walking back from the restroom (coming through the dry covered area) when an entire bucket of water was dumped on me. We were planning to go straight to dinner afterward, and I happened to be wearing a nicer dress and carrying a handbag. Thankfully my bag was water-resistant, but if I had been carrying paperwork, electronics, or a less durable purse, it could have been a problem. I understand that getting wet is part of the experience, but I do wish there had been a little more awareness of guests who were clearly dressed for plans after the cruise or a quick warning before a full bucket of water was poured. Especially just walking through the splash area from the restroom. One additional note: we've previously done the pirate cruise in Panama City Beach and personally preferred that experience. If you're expecting something similar, be aware that this cruise has a much heavier emphasis on water play and soaking guests. I'd also say this is much lower budget. The Panama City Beach cruise felt more focused on pirate adventure, storytelling, and character interaction, while this one centered much more on quick water games and pirate jokes. My recommendation would be to wear clothes you don't mind getting soaked and leave anything valuable or water-sensitive behind. If your child loves high-energy activities, water play, and pirate silliness, they'll probably have a great time. If they're more sensitive to surprises, getting splashed, or the idea of "walking the plank," this may not be the best fit.

The Pirate Ship Adventure is definitely geared toward kids, and the crew does a fantastic job…read morekeeping them engaged. They play games, tell stories, and stay in character the whole time, which makes for a fun and interactive experience. The little ones especially enjoyed the pirate hats and treasure at the end. For adults, though, it's a bit on the cheesy side. The boat ride itself isn't much--just a short trip out in front of some beachfront hotels before turning around. If you're expecting an actual sightseeing cruise or something more adventurous, this might not be it. That said, if you're looking for a break from the beach and something different to entertain the kids, it does the job. A few things to know: Kids 8 and under must wear a life jacket, which they provide or you can bring your own as long as it's Coast Guard approved. Also, expect to get wet! We dressed the kids in swimsuits, and even my spouse and I ended up getting splashed. Overall, it's a fun way to mix things up during a week at the beach, but it's definitely more for the kids than the adults.

Chilled water was set out when we arrived, trying to get more water after that was like asking for money out the servers pocket. I never got a water glass, then had to ask two more times before getting one. Then got a cold stare when I asked them to clear off the 6-8 empty water bottles and bring some more water. The only redeeming features of the meal, the mojito and old fashioneds were great. The wedge salad was great. The crab bisque tasted good just wish there was more than 2-4 bits of crab in it. My wife's steak was cold. The Pontchartrain grouper, green beans, and mashed potatoes were cold when received. As was 4-6 other people's dishes at our table. I asked to heat my plate up and they were baffled someone would complain about poor food quality. For a $200 dinner, it was disappointing. There was 12 of us, at least $1200-1500 was spent on this meal and so many people were not satisfied.

Inconsistent Service & Unacceptable Attitude…read more I visit this UPS Store regularly, and every time feels like a gamble. Some days the employees are friendly and helpful, but more often than not, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells. Today was by far the worst experience I've had. I walked in with returns while an employee--either Kirsten or Kristen--was vacuuming. From the moment she approached me, her attitude was hostile. No greeting, no professionalism--just a sharp "How can I help you?" in the most irritated tone, as if helping a customer was a burden. I'm sorry, but if stopping vacuuming to help a customer is such an inconvenience, maybe this isn't the right job. This kind of treatment is completely unacceptable in any customer-facing role. If I had another option in town, I would take it in a heartbeat. This location seriously needs to work on customer service training. The attitude from this employee was rude, uncalled for, and honestly embarrassing for a national brand like UPS. Do better

My advice, find a seat, have someone order at the order window, then head to the bar to order drinks. The wait to order food took about a half hour. It was very quick to get our drinks. We were able to snag a couch area on a platform. It was so comfy and we loved the views. A heads up- if you snag a couch like this, kids will get up on the platform and jump off of it. People will step up on the platform and walk extremely close to you. I had to ask a kid to stop throwing sand by us because we were eating our dinner. It was a little chaotic. We were extremely patient and understand, but I could see some people being very upset and annoyed. After ordering, our food came out pretty quick. I started with the coconut grouper bites and they were phenomenal. Light breading, lightly sweat, and flaky. I had the Gulf Grilled Cobia and it was phenomenal. The fish was tender, flaky, and light. No fishiness at all. The sauce on the fish was also delightful. My husband and son had the fajita skewers and both enjoyed them. My husband also had the peel and eat shrimp and said they were amazing at The Gulf. Our drinks were okay. We had better drinks at other places during the week, but they weren't bad. We would return, but try to come on an off-time that wasn't so busy.

It's the food folks go there for. The oysters were fresh and served in a simple appealing way. The fish was white and firm and delicious. The grilled shrimp they are famous for do not have a savory flavor, tastes more like they were grilled with honey on them. We were not expecting that at all. We did not like the 30 dollars worth of sweet shrimp. It does come in very generous portion if you like that type of flavor. Hush puppies were pretty darn good, light, nicely seasoned with good flavor. The Cole slaw was excellent. All portions were generous. Overall they are friendly, the service is personable and efficient! Ambiance is that of a local diner style, not fancy just comfortable. We liked everything but the sweet grilled shrimp. We are from the north and maybe it is just a southern style we aren't familiar with or used to consuming. The gumbo is pretty good too. They have great mixed drinks and they have one that is a salted caramel flavor that is really excellent. Overall: would highly recommend for a good meal and friendly service.
