Captain Jack Sparrow swings down upon the gang of pirates overtaking the ship. Swords clash before he calms the rumble and they celebrate with fireworks bursting above.

Sound like a scene from the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” flick? It’s actually a night on the Disney Dream, one of Disney Cruise Line’s fleet. This take-it-to-the-next-level mentality permeates the cruise experience.

A year after its maiden voyage, the Disney Dream sails the same course, blending state-of-the-art technology and amenities with a heap of Disney magic. The 1,115-foot long ship with 1,250 staterooms and suites hauls as many as 4,000 passengers, alternating three- and four- night cruises from Port Canaveral, Fla., to the Bahamas and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. Four- and five-night voyages are offered during the summer months.
