Happy Halloween Cruise..........

Here is 1 idea.

I have been on 2 Halloween cruises.

There have been some elaborate costumes.

One one cruise there was a family who dressed as a pirate(dad), parrot(young child who dad tossed on shoulder for photos), ship captain(uncle?) and a mermaid(wife).

When my neice graduated from hs my SIL had a party for her and neice wanted a "theme party." She said everyone has to come dressed up as someone from a movie. I went as Rose from Titanic! :p I wore a long gown and long gloves (actually I went to the $ store and bought a pack of fishnet knee highs. Cut out the toe area and used them as gloves! :D GENIUS!) I even had a beautiful necklace that was "costume jewelry" from my grandma that looked like the necklace she had in the movie. I bought a child's swim ring and put USS Titanic on it with magic marker and carried that as a "lifesaver." :rolleyes: Just an idea...have a great cruise!

How about Gilligan and Mary Ann

These were not on a cruise...but each year we go to the costume party at the Legion where my husband is a member. Here are a couple of photos from some of our costumes...so far we have won the costume party every year!:D

I looked on line for Titanic period gowns and they were really expensive!

Ken and Barbie are cute!

I'm putting together a "cave tube" costume, complete with Butts Up! Hope it comes together! Up for suggestions!

One of the things I love about cruising in the fall is the Halloween costumes! I have seen some very expensive theatrical costumes and some homemade ones. Some of the most clever I have seen were from Pinterest ideas. Whatever the costume every one seems to have a good time! Sad this year, even with two cruises I will miss Halloween on board.

If you have a thrift shop/second hand store in your area, you could go there for clothes to make a costume. For Titanic/Rose you could even wear a lacy long nightgown! :D Ken and Barbie are adorable! Can't figure out what a cave tube costume is! :confused::confused:

We went as Titanic passengers who did not make it into a lifeboat. We put a lot of work into our costumes. I studied the makeup from the frozen bodies at the end of Titanic and bought professional theatrical makeup to try to replicate actual frostbite. We got a kit to put 'ice' crystals in our hair. I made Titanic style life vests using white pillowcases. I made a Titanic life ring. We sewed plastic icicles on our clothes (sat in the buffet all day on Halloween doing that last minute). We got our outfits from eBay and Goodwill. You can get tuxedos cheap on eBay. I will try to put pictures below, but I haven't ever done that so I may screw it up.

Looks like my pics didn't work. Here is a link to the set on Flickr

Check here for inspiration: http://www.cruisecritic.com/slideshows/?ID=48. Slide 11 is me dressed up as a towel animal! (It's an old slideshow -- apologies for the few broken pics.)

I've got a "fake butt in a bikini", inner tube with signs "Butts Up!", big bat attached to tshirt saying "I survived cave tubing", light up "noodle" hair, water shoes etc. Very goofy.

Aimee, those Titanic costumes are really fabulous!

That cave tubing costume is very original and sounds like it's going to be really cute!

All the pictures of the costumes are awesome. Y'all did great jobs! Funny, we were on RCI Voyager of the Seas many years ago over Halloween and noone dressed up at all. Has anyone thought of dressing up as a whale tail! :D:D

...or Freddie! Saw a fat boss blow up costume--someone could use as it to be John Heald, not that he's as big as the costume. Kathy Lee Gifford would make a neat costume but might not be understood by many...

This was last year on Princess.

During the day....

During the night...

I'm a haunted house actor and I wore my full gear on the Carnival Triumpth 2010 Halloween Cruise. Going back again but wearing my chain spiked pants and jacket with same face and claws.

Not really out to win a contest even though I won a few back in the day. I noticed the winners of the cruise contests are those who are in themed groups anyway. I'm just there for the fun.

Ill be on the Inspiration this year, here is the costume Ill be wearing that i sewed.

Its from Starwars

Whole family will be in starwars garb (i think) I dunno.. i have multiple costumes for all my family, kinda fun to do group stuff though!

We've seen some really elaborate costumes over the years...my faves were a dead couple from the Titanic (they won the costume contest on the dream in 2010), a group dressed up like The characters from the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland and a group dressed like the love boat characters. Absolutely my fave time of year to cruise ;)

Last year we were on the Explorer of the Seas for Halloween. The cruise it self was the worst cruise ever (Hurricane Sandy) but Halloween was fun. I made my husbands and my costumes, he was the Grinch stole Christmas and I was the Cat in the Hat. They gave out prizes for individual costumes and group costumes and I don't remember the individual who won but the group of 4 that won were great - They were Dorothy, The Scarecrow, The Tin man and the Lion from The Wizard of Oz. Wish I was cruising this Halloween can't wait to do it again.
