This set was expertly designed. It has an engaging build, even for someone who has experience; if you don’t have much experience, it is easy to follow the instructions.
I wish there was an extra pirate mini figure, and some more barrels than the one it comes with (there are empty spaces in the front of the ship that could fit barres perfectly), but these are wished more than gripes.
It is a great display set, and personally I think the pictures don’t do it justice with how ornate the ship presents itself. Great parts pack, too.
I purchased this as a gift for myself. I just had my first job and will attend my graduation ceremony this month. Playing this Lego is so enjoyable, it was my childhood favorites but I was unable to afford it. Now my dream comes true, I am so excited and proud of myself. As a Lego beginner, it took me 10 hours to finish it, but I was enjoying the whole process and surprised by every little detail. It’s a Awesome Lego set, and I may try the inn and island in a few weeks.
"It's 1260 pieces, and this one is a pirate ship and i don't have any other ones that are a pirate ship. You should buy it because its not too hard and it's not too easy. It's easy to build but hard to break." - a 5 year old who received this as a gift.
The ship is pretty cool and the build was satisfying enough, but I’ve got two complaints, both about the cannons. First off, I wish they had included four canons- there are four canon ports, but they only give you two guns? That’s kinda lame, but not a deal breaker. The second issue, a little more significant, is that the canons don’t really function how they’re supposed to. The firing action is really cool, but the single-peg plates that they use to secure the canons don’t actually hold onto them tightly enough to pull the firing plunger. Every time I try to fire, the canon just comes detached from the ship. This was easily remedied by replacing the 1-peg 2x2 plates with standard 4-peg 2x2 plates, but I feel like Lego should have just designed it so it doesn’t have to be fixed by the consumer. Oh well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for letting us know there's trouble on the high seas! We suggest making sure the cannons are firmly pushed down into both plates and this should make them secure enough to be fired without coming loose. If that's not the case, get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV so our expert shipwrights can take a look!
The pirate ship was very interesting.But, This was very hard to build but I think it was worth it with the zip line and the Captain steering the boat. Also I like how the plank is designed on the bottom of the boat. And I think this was very hard but whoever decided to make this up was very smart to do it because I’m impressed with all the ropes holding up the mast with the seals on it and the lamps. So I’m very thankful for this Lego set
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the sets, although I have one question, what do I do with all the extra pieces from the tavern, it feels like I skipped a step or two.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When building a Creator 3-n-1 set, you'll always have more extra pieces than other sets since it includes parts needed for all three builds. If you feel you might have missed something, get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV and we'll be happy to take a look with you!
