We were on the Spirit (how appropriate) last year & our last night, October 25, we had a Halloween party & costume contest. It was a blast & I don't usually even like Halloween. The costumes were great & quite a few people dressed up. I was so glad that we decided at the last minute to take costumes. Some of them were very innovative. A woman dressed as a Carnival towel animal won. She was adorable! They decorated the ship that day. It was one of our favorite memories of the cruise!

We were on the Glory last Halloween and it was so much fun! Lots of people were dressed up. They had special deserts at dinner and the party was a blast. We have great pictures and wonderful memories!

I had the same question... I'm on the Legend sailing ON 10/31. I finally broke down and send John Heald a message yesterday on his blog asking what the schedule would be, considering we sail ON Halloween, and who knows when luggage will show up.

 

Will let you know what I find out (in 3 weeks!)! :D

Last year on the Valor they had a costume party, and trick-or-treating for the kids in Camp Carnival. It was alright, (my opinion) but nothing to write home about. :)

I read somewhere that Carnival decorates and has Halloween planned events thru out the Month of October?? Anyone vouch for this .. I am going on the 11th...

Last year we were on the Pride and Halloween was on Saturday night. Carnival had a party on Friday the 30th (everyone packing to go home on Sat), but it was fun. The ship was decorated nicely and a LOT of people were dressed up. They had a dance in the main lobby of the ship and chose the 20 best costumes...then moved to the show lounge where the audience chose a winner. I went in thinking this would just be some small thing and picked up a costume in a bag at Party City, but there were a lot of really creative, homemade costumes. The winner last year....Urkel!!
