In the 2nd movie when Jones freed Orlando's dad after Barbossa sank him to the bottom of the ocean tied to the canon. He was cursed and couldn't die until Jones came and offered him his deal thus breaking the curse.

He still couldn't die once he became a part of Jones' crew. He said he was unable to move at the bottom of the sea because of the crushing pressure but he could never die either. He was trapped in eternal darkness. Jones saved him from that. Jones allowed him to become one of his crew in return for releasing him from the canon.
But that's an interesting point. Did becoming a member of Jones' crew override his original curse or was he double cursed? Either way nothing was ever said about Bootstraps' original curse ending, just that he was saved from the bottom of the sea
I would think that it id seeing as how being a Skeleton ment they were kind of trapped in this world as an undying thing but once you join with Jones you and the crew of the Dutchman could travel to the Next World, even though Jones had been shrieking that part of his job.

Right but Jones' crew were still technically alive. Part of his sales pitch is "hold off death for 100 years". And to be fair, Turner, Swan and their crew was able to go to the other world to rescue Jack without dying or being cursed at all. You just have to know the way
