Sailing on Halloween

Do the Carnival ships have Halloween costume parties? Thanks

Yes and they're fabulous!

We sailed over Halloween and people did wear costumes. I'm sure there was a party somewhere- we didn't partake.

Many passengers look forward to wearing their costumes.

Do the Carnival ships have Halloween costume parties? Thanks

Yes they do.

A few years ago, a friend and I were on the Glory during Halloween....Ghost Hunters (the tv show) was supposed to be on that sailing due to some rumored 'haunted cabins' on that ship....My friend and I decided it would be a blast to wear Ghostbuster costumes....I got the jump suit with the backpack thingy and she was Slimer....Ghost Hunters canceled their plans, but we were a huge hit at the party and won a bottle of champagne....

Many people dressed up for the Halloween party and it was alot of fun...

We sailed on Halloween a few years ago. I dressed up as Grumpy and DH was Snow white, yes you read that right. We had a blast and he got many compliments on his legs...

Please tell me someone has photos to share?? This sounds amazing!

I was on the Miracle last Halloween. The ship was decorated, they had a costume contest, there was candy throughout the ship. The dining room had special desserts. It was very cool. I would guess probably 40 percent of the passengers dressed up.

We sailed Princess (which is under the Carnival brand) over Halloween and it was a blast! Tons of people dressed up, there were parties, contests, parade and more.

The pumpkin carving was phenomenal too.

We sailed with 3 kids so took them trick-or-treating in port as well :) Several people were passing out candy on the ship as well but I don't remember if that was a scheduled thing or just random people having fun.
