HOTHS Question

[adawnrob]

We booked the October 31, 2025 7-night itinerary out of San Juan. I'm curious, does anyone know if the Halloween theme will be just that one day, since day 2 is November 1st, and Halloween will be over. Or, will the entire week still be themed?

Halloween is just on one day anyway - after the Halloween day on the 6n Bermuda last year the characters were in normal outfits and the music went back to Disney music. The only things that remained were the decorations.

Yes. Everything will be over. I have been on many HOTHS. We are on the Oct 31, 2024 cruise. Halloween will be the first night, and then it will be over.

I was on that cruise too!

Yes, understand Halloween is just one day. I was curious if the decorations and themed music ended after that first day. Looks like it does.

Thank you!

We were on the Fantasy several years ago for Halloween. We left on Saturday the 29th and the party was on Monday the 31st.

It was the last Halloween party for the season and if my memory is correct they left the pumpkin tree in the atrium up during the entire seven day cruise.
It was a while ago and I do not remember if there were other decorations around the ship at the time.
Although things can change at any time.

Hi all. We'll be on the cruise before HOTHS cruises on the Fantasy. Does anyone know if we might see the decorations being put up towards the end of the cruise? It would be nice to see them since I've never been on that themed cruise.

Decorations are normally put up and taken down on disembark/embark day by a team that comes on the ship just for that meaning everything should stay up til the end of the cruise and are not visible until the actual first hoths. The only exception I ve experienced is the gingerbread house for the merrytimes

Not to hijack, but does anyone know on the 3 day HOTH cruise if there is both a Halloween night and a pirate night? I see that there are pirate makeovers offered the second night at Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. Thanks.

We are sailing on a 3-night on 10/11 and Pirate Night is day 2 (Nassau) and Halloween is Day 3 (Castaway Cay).

NOTE: although the 3-night cruise does have the pirate deck party and firework, they do not have the pirate themed dinner. Many will still wear their pirate outfits to dinner that night.

What about on a 4 night HOTHS sailing? They should have both a Pirate night and Halloween night, but would it have the pirate themed dinner? Also, I read Disney's costume guidelines and it says something along the lines of no costume weapons allowed so I assume the pirate swords have to stay home? Thanks!

Yes, on 4-night cruises you will have the pirate themed dinner on pirate night. Plastic toy "pirate" swords are allowed (see exceptions below).
