Halloween costumes

[FutureMrsDiaz]

My son just got this Costume.. I read they couldn't have weapons so he couldn't be the ninja he wanted to be.. I guess I totally skipped where they can't have masks. So do I have to disappoint him and try and find another?? It's our first Halloween cruise so I don't know how strict they are about it.

 

Thanks!

I did not even know there was a policy....I've seen adults in full wolf costumes...my guess would be it want be a problem.

Here is what is on the Carnival website, so I would take this as the official policy.

My two cents is that they probably won't strictly enforce the mask part of the policy, especially for kids. However, you can't say you weren't warned if they do choose to enforce it.

Could you bring some facepaint as a backup if you can't wear the mask?

 

I'm guessing, on children, mask is just a safety issue. If there are waves that day, walking around the ship can be hard enough- they don't want vision obstructed too.

The rules say no masks and the bio-hazard mask is a key feature of the costume. Target has some costumes without masks so that's an option.

I've seen adults in full wolf costumes....

Yeah, those three day booze cruises are something else!
