Halloween on HAL

[rnnyce]

I have sailed with RC for Halloween and they had a costume party. Does HAL? Need to be prepared!!!!:)

Yes - from what I've read they do have a halloween party. We will be on the Westerdam during Halloween and plan on bringing our costumes :D

Last time we sailed on Halloween was Volendam 2006 and there was a Halloween Party after dinner in the Crows Nest. Lots of folks wore costumes and they gave prizes.

We weren't 'costumed' but had a good time at the party. :)

This is good information as we will be on the Halloween cruise aboard Massdam. We have a good costume store nearby we will have to start checking on what we will be.

The Most popular costume is the "Lido Schlepper"

Halloween aboard HAL, an added bonus! Yes, be prepared for a costume filled evening.

We sailed aboard the Noordam last October and were treated to a Fun Costumed Halloween Party in the Crows nest. And yes there were children activities throughout the day. I came prepared for the little beggars, but did not see any around the ship L. There were children in our Cruise Critic group; I had made goodie bags for each of them. I even decorated our Cabin Door with a Pumpkin!

Since the party was later in the evening, we dressed normally for dinner. We went back to our cabins and changed into our costumes, some folks did wear costumes to dinner. Get to the Crows nest early, you will want a good seat, you’re in for a fun show! Our little group, well we all had good costumes, but as we watched some of the partygoers arriving, we knew we would not be a big winner; there was some really cleaver, over the top costumes. On our cruise critic board, people asked for suggestion, I gave several and of course they were winners! We were served ghoulish drinks, there were prizes and everyone was entered into a drawing for a prize, just for dressing up! Regardless if partygoers dressed up, or had good costumes or not, everyone had a good time. Enjoy the evening, a special way to celebrate Halloween:D.

We have been on HAL cruises a couple of times during Halloween. There was a costume party in the Crow's Nest -- 10:30. Some people wore costumes -- others didn't -- prizes were given out.

My only regret I have about Hollween is that I did not mask. The party was a blast on the Maasdam 2008. If I am ever sailing another October I will have a costume.
