Pirates vs Knights

Two nights.  Two dinner shows.  One winner.

Who would have the better show?

Andrew and I have both seen a Medieval Times show before and thought it would be a fun dinner/date night so we planned and bought tickets before leaving for our honeymoon.

We liked the idea of a dinner and show {more bang for our buck} that we decided to also see Pirates Voyage.

The pre-show was almost just as amazing as the actually show!

We were all learning to talk like pirates

Salty the Sea Lion

This was only the beginning...

The stack was taller than him!

We had great seats

Once our cups were filled, there was never less than the rim, it was like magic.  

Me Harties Feast!

Simply put, the show was amazing!

Red pirates vs blue pirates, we were the red.
Each team's captain was trying to find the treasure.

There was always something happening.  From pirates, mermaids, sea lions, acrobats and more no one ever lost interest.  Everything was done very {very} well. Kids were even picked to be in different races to help their teams. Everyone from guests to the stars of the show appeared to be having a great time. 

The food was great, service even better and the show was the topper!

The next night we went to Medieval Times...

We got there early, really early, and there was NOTHING nearby to explore so we walked around the castle and took silly pictures. 

 Once inside, it was unfortunate but we immediately were not as impressed as we were when we walked into Pirates Voyage. 

It was still pretty inside, but with no pre-show it just felt like a long wait. 

The bar that sold drinks that cost an arm and a leg and were gone in one sip

The green, red & yellow, and blue knights were all in alliance

Metal plate and bowl with no silverware, because in Medieval Times there was no such thing.
But Pepsi...I guess there was Pepsi.

They spent LOTS of money on those fancy hats.   

Seats for this show were pretty awesome as well

We should have seen Medieval Times before Pirates Voyage.  I think we would have enjoyed Medieval Times more.

The food was good, service was poor, and the show was sub-par .

There just wasn't as much going, the knights appeared to be exhausted and not having fun, and from one activity to the next time just seemed to drag.  I just don't know what to say, we were disappointed in the show and ourselves for having such high hopes.

I was disappointed because I remember having so much fun when I had gone before, but like I said had we done the shows in reverse order I think we would have had more fun with the knights.  The pirates would have still won our vote for best show but knights may have had more of a fighting chance.

All in all, both nights were fun.  We had dinner and a show for one price and we did it together.  Anything together is better.

What is your favorite dinner show?
