Recommended Posts

From John Heald's Facebook Page:

 

 

Halloween is on the 31st October but this year Carnival has chosen to add an extra massive dollop of Halloween fun.

 

We will have full Halloween celebrations on every ship for cruises staring on October 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th and through the rest of the month.

 

Book now, call your travel agent, call carnival and get your Vampire, Witch and chubby grey haired Brand Ambassador costumes ready

 

More information coming soon

 

PLEASE SHARE

 

cheers

John

 

 

Pretty excited, as we've been booked for October 14th for about 500 days now. lol

We always try to do a Halloween cruise, More excitement and the costumes are really unique. This could be the start of longer American seasonal activities aboard Carnival ships. Seems Carnival realizes the holidays are festive for their customers so their making those events longer , bringing more money to the Carnival table . Even sending out their LIP man to advertise it. ;p

I wonder what they will do? Two years ago we had a cruise that ended on Halloween and they did NOTHING. I thought something would be going on but the only thing they had was a dance lesson to Thriller (which they did other times of the year anyway), so nothing special. Hopefully we will see something new this time!

Yep. I’ve been on 17 cruises and they were all Carnival. I know my way around the ship so I feel I would have seen something.

 

Yea you should have . Every Carnival ship I have been during Halloween was decorated as stated in my previous post . But they took the decorations down fairly quick around midnight . Tons of Fun if your into it .

I just assumed since we were debarking on October 31st, they saved the decorations for the people coming onto the ship that day. I was kind of disappointed except I was on a cruise and who can be disappointed on a cruise!! We were on the Victory and it sailed Oct. 26-31 and we usually go on longer cruises. I just figured they didn't do halloween stuff on the shorter ones.

This is what they have done the last few years, you missed it by one sailing.

I wonder if they expanded it to take advantage of the popularity of this summer's Hotel Transylvania 3, which takes place on a cruise ship?

 

(Yes, it was my 8-yr-old who came up with that idea, but I think she may be on to something...)
