Thanks so much for posting that info Smile

I can't decide on something spooky or funny to wear for Halloween. My first Halloween cruise.

Do alot of the adults dress up?

It is a little hard to figure out what to do and what you can pack.

Thanks,
IslandCruz

I think it was on a Royal Caribbean cruise that they had a costume night, it might have been Carnival. But anyway, I went as a Freudian Slip. The ship gave you some items, like crepe paper, scissors, glue, markers. I took the crepe paper and wrote some Freud buzz words, like Id, Ego, Mother, etc. I won second prize. There was a couple that won who dressed up like tables and had their heads sitting on platters. It was a real blast. Then on Costa (maybe) they had Toga night, where you take the sheets from your room in a Toga. Maybe this will give you some ideas as to what you can wear using items on the ship. Best wishes and have a wonderful cruise!

Penny, That is so funny and inventive Lol

Thanks for the ideas. Instead of trying to out scare everyone with the creepy, I think I am going to try to find something that is funny like that and easy to pack.

I was thinking of wearing my Jimmy Buffet concert garb, grass skirt, lei, shirt and crazy hat. And pretend to be more stupid than I am and say I did not not know was Halloween and I heard JB got on the ship in Key West!

After seeing that idea on screen, it is pretty stupid Lol

LHP,

Thank you so much!

It is always a pleasure reading your informative posts Smile

Got my grass skirt today and found a cool parrot to put on my hat. Taking along the trusty Wal*Mart make yourself look like Dracula kit just in case.

Halloween's always FUN with Carnival..
We've gone to 2 Halloween cruises before and it seems like the Drag Queen costumed guys somehow get the laughs while they shake their boote', score high in the clap-o-meter & win the 24k plastic trophies.

Hava great Halloween cruise, Island Cruz!!

Thanks Life,

I will keep a watch out for those Drag Queen guys while in my go to Buffett Concert garb Smile

Don't want them to get the wrong idea by my grass skirt!

Actually even the real Drag Queens don't bother me at all. Have taken my cousin a few times on cruises and we went to the bars with him on Key West and had a blast. I will prolly stop by one of the bars on Duval and drop a few bucks in their bucket for the Fantasy Fest Fund Drive.

Thanks for the heads up, and wishes. It should be fun. Heck just going on a cruise is fun for me without all this extra entertainment Smile
