Halloween festivities on the Star Princess?

[mghmld]

We just booked a cruise for later this year and we'll be onboard over Halloween. Never done that before - do cruise lines plan anything special? I know it's a long way away, but just wondering if we should pack costumes?

 

I'm assuming they would host some type of Halloween party, but just wondering if anyone has any first-hand knowledge.

 

Always wondered what it'd be like to be on a cruise over Christmas or New Years too - might be fun!

On our Golden cruise last Halloween there was quite a big Halloween party in the Piazza. Lots of people in costumes, dancing, music, etc. They even had a haunted house put on by the crew members.

We have been on Princess a couple of times for Halloween. The staff dresses and there is a passenger costume contest.

Its a great time, lots of decorations/costumes and parties. :D

We've been a few Hallowe'en cruises and they are a lot of fun! We bring our costumes and some of the staff dress up as well. There is a special party in one of the lounges or the Atrium with a band and dancing. A costume contest as well.

 

It's also nice to see the Hallowe'en decor around the ship; the Atrium has a nice display of carved pumpkins.

 

Cheers.

Got to agree, after three years in a row cruising on Halloween, it's a lot of fun. Bring a costume and have a blast.

Awesome - thanks everyone, looking forward to it!

Does anyone know do you dress up in the dining room for Halloween as well?

My DH and I wore our costumes to dinner in MDR. The Maître d was dressed along with a few other passengers.
