Rare Rewind Posted July 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2022 We did a TA back in 2015 on Allure that was over Halloween. There was a costume parade / competition down the Promenade and voting on the best costume. I don't remember much but there was one lady who brought a full victorian hoop dress. It looked great but my second thought was "how in the heck did she pack that in her luggage"? Seriously, the bottom hoop was about three feet in diameter. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted July 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Only did one a long time ago, and they decorated the promenade and there were a lot of people in costumes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted July 6, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I dressed up as Alan, from "Hangover" one time on a cruise. Other passenger's really got a kick out of it. People were laughing like crazy and commented I had the best costume onboard. Was neat popping out of the elevators wearing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miraflores Posted July 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 6, 2022 On QN-class ships, I've seen the production cast make and staff a haunted house in the Music Hall. Always really cool. Usually a kid's Halloween movie up by the pool as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually the case for me. I wouldn't say I'm not a Halloween person, but booked Harmony OTS for October 30th without really thinking about it, but now I'm pretty excited to see what it's like! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted July 6, 2022 #16 Share Posted July 6, 2022 My cousin always books a Halloween cruise, and she and her husband go all-out with their costumes. I was only on one Halloween cruise years ago, and we dressed in costumes. A fun time all around! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the bottom hoop was about three feet in diameter. Many hoops like that can be folded. It looks like folding and twisting those collapsible sunshades for a car window if you are familiar with those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelife Posted July 7, 2022 #18 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I've been on many. I always wear a costume and they celebrate big time! This is a crew member - not me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks All Carnival every year except one. Did a Royal. They had everyone crammed in the Atrium for the final win. Terrible. That was a few years ago Do not remember the ship. Carnival does it the best for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not you must not have impressed all that much.🤣 We dressed up on our TA on the Symphony. Lots of people loved our costumes. We didn’t do the Hook R walk, trying to get votes. It is a really fun costume party, and a highlight. I highly recommend going on a Halloween cruise. JC<———— hates dressing up for this, but his DW likes it a lot, and I like her a lot, so I do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunseeker20 Posted July 7, 2022 #21 Share Posted July 7, 2022 We were on Serenade for Halloween in 2019, and a lot of people dressed up! They also had a haunted house set up that was really well done and fun to go through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx121 Posted July 7, 2022 #22 Share Posted July 7, 2022 All depends on the cruise director. Some go all out with decorations, dances, haunted houses, costume parties, etc. Others have done the bare minimum and put up simple decorations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted July 7, 2022 #23 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) We boarded GR on Halloween several years ago. They were decorating but just in the Centrum and that night there was a party in the Centrum with a parade. The next morning, decorations started coming down and were gone quickly. So, unless you are on on the actual day, they don't do anything. We didn't dress up but I'd say about 30% of people did. We drive to Baltimore so I could have brought any costume I wanted to but we chose not to. We watched from a couple of decks up.
