Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I don't think it is still there. We went on a cruise Dec. 2010 and it wasn't there. Our friends went on one this Jan and it wasn't there. But I'm sure Soarin can confirm for sure.

When we were at Castaway Cay November 2011 the "Flying Dutchman" was absent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaway_Cay

Two submarine-ride vehicles from the now-closed 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage ride at Walt Disney World lie underwater in the snorkeling area. The Flying Dutchman pirate ship, from the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, was on display in the lagoon. As of the final week in November 2010, the Flying Dutchman had been removed and taken to another location on the island where it was being dismantled as pictures show below.

For all those out there who have done both Disney and any other cruise, Two adults who want to relax. Which would you do? Disney Cruise does look amazing but can you have time for just adult entertainment. We are looking to cruise next february. :?

I've never been on either...but I have friends who have been...and I have asked them this same question.

They told me that you pretty much cannot get a nicer cruise than a Disney cruise. But, for your money, you're better off going with another one, especially in February. Besides, vacations have more to do with who you are with rather than where you are. All that said, combining a Disney cruise with a few days at WDW would be hard to beat.

I think a Disney Cruise is excellent for adults, the kids can be avoided much easier then at the parks. I talked with some people on other cruise lines while in port, P&O and carnival, they were jealous of our ship and its activities. When I told them about the "Pirates IN the Caribbean" deck party and fireworks they were extra envious.

There is so much to do for adults on a Disney Cruise. If you can afford it I would always chose Disney over another cruise line.

I would have put money on nature taking it apart before people. Didn't that happen to the submarine they had out there?
