vandrefalk Posted August 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Question for those of you who have done the fall crossing before -- when Halloween occurs on the crossing (as it will this fall), do the crew dress in costume? The guests? Just curious! Vandrefalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted August 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi Karen. Just a thought but y'all could all dress like Ho-Hum for Halloween. Now that would be scary!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought but y'all could all dress like Ho-Hum for Halloween. Now that would be scary!:D A ship load (a SHIP LOAD Jim, please read it more carefully, we are not at "The Ronald Reagan Memorial Gun Club" now) ......... A ship load of Hums ! Truly a ghastly scenario ! The ladies would be driven crazy ! Runnning, screaming, hither and thither ......... for the lifeboats !!! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander courageous Posted August 21, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The last time I checked, Jim was shopping at the Big and Tall Girls Boutique in Las Vegas and shipping the goods to Hum's manse wrapped in brown paper. Does that give you a hint of his Halloween attire? Good God, will trick or treat ever be the same! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm buying these for a friend"......"Sure you are"......"No really this English country Baron"........"Oh well, that explains it"......."Want to add a greeting card?":eek: I tried to tell him in an earlier post that pantsuits are better for his "shape". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps -- we'll see. No, Jim -- I could never aspire to dress like Hum -- t'wouldn't be proper! However, I can report back to you on the success of your shopping for him :D Vandrefalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeignetBoy Posted October 10, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Question for those of you who have done the fall crossing before -- when Halloween occurs on the crossing (as it will this fall), do the crew dress in costume? The guests? Just curious!Vandrefalk I just saw this posting, and I must say that Halloween is one of my wife's favorite holidays, and she has costumed on every crossing that we have done over Halloween. And she will do on this year also. She will force me to do so also, :(and although I don't have a good "Hum" costume, I do have something that might work. But no promises on it resembling Mr. Hum, but then nothing would do him justice. As for the crew, Jeff wore a mask on a crossing that we had with him, and on several years, the various crew departments had a "Jack-O-Lantern" decorating contest that was placed outside of the lounge.

vandrefalk Posted October 11, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Well, sadly, it seems likely we will miss the crossing :-( Hurricane Matthew has caused us to cancel our France river cruise. We are still homeless (in ATL currently) and will likely relocate to JAX the remainder of the week. House appears to be ok but yard is a disaster. So crossing appears not doable. So disappointed -- looking forward to good company -- good trivia -- and good costumes ( we were coming as ourselves --figure it out :-) Also have a present for Blondie but will have to get it to her later! So, life now and then sucks, but it does go on! Vandrefalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
