Advantages: Good family entertainment. Unlimited sangria, beer and soft drinks.

Disadvantages: Possibly the food although it was ok.

I've been to see the family show, although there is also an adult version. The family show usually starts at 8pm but on nights where there's the adult show the family one starts at 6pm. I've heard a lot about how great this show is - and it lives up to expectations. I went last year and there was a special offer on so the tickets were 45euros, I'm not sure how much they are usually. Many of the tour operators have an excursion there though. There are two prices, one for the main deck, where we were and one for the quarter deck, which is a bit more expensive but the food is better and there are goodie bags for the kids. You are sat at a long table with bench seats although they have a back so it's not too uncomfortable to sit there for a couple of hours. The food was sausages, chicken, chips and beans followed by ice cream. It wasn't anything to write home about but you do get unlimited sangria or wine and soft drinks all night. The story was about pirates (obviously) trying to steal the treasure. There are 4 captains defending it and the audience are divided up into sections to support each captain. Our section had the female captain so the blokes were happy and probably supported her and cheered for her rather more than they would have done for the other captains!!! The actual show left us open mouthed, with acrobats and fire eaters doing things that you didn't think possible. You haven't seen anything until you've seen a man balancing another man on his head WHILST climbing a rope ladder!!! A photographer goes around taking pictures and these are currently charged at about 12 euros each. There is also a stall for buying souvenirs and prices vary there. The buses stop nearby and taxis are reasonably priced (it was 5 euros from Palma Nova) to get there. It is also only a short walk from the main centre of Magaluf. It is a must see during your stay in Majorca. One tip is that if you go dressed up as a pirate people come round as you're standing in the queue to go in and if they like what you're wearing you get taken in and upgraded to the quarter deck. There were a few people that came looking fantastic and they went in and were upgraded but you'll have a good time no matter where you are.

Summary: Don't try this at home - like you could....!!!!!
