    Hello, I am sailing on my first 7 day cruise on the Halloween on the High Seas sailing, September 27th to October 4th. From what I've read we have a formal night, Halloween night, and pirate night. What night can I expect each event to happen?

    Ahoy there, fellow Floridian! Thanks for sailing by planDisney.

    You are going to have a frightfully fantastic time on your upcoming sail! Halloween on the High Seas is one of the best themed cruises around. From the ghoulish decorations to the fiendish activities, there is a cornucopia of haunting fun waiting around every corner.

    Let's sail into your schedule, so you can start packing your frightful costumes! While the schedule is subject to change, these are the nights you can anticipate on your sail:

    • Night 1 (All aboard!): Cruise casual - feel free to wear anything, but swimsuits and tank tops aren't allowed in the rotational dining restaurants.

    • Night 2 (Sea Day): Formal - jackets for men, and dresses or pantsuits for women. Don't be surprised when you see your fellow sailors in tuxes and full-length gowns; some people go all out!

    •  Night 3 (Sea Day): Cruise casual.

    • Night 4 (Tortola): Pirate night - grab your scalliwag swag and party like a pirate! (This is also pyro night!)

    • Night 5 (St. Thomas): Halloween night is the night to go ALL OUT! Adults and kiddos can dress up like their favorite characters and enjoy the hauntingly hilarious activities across the ship. Take advantage of the fantastic onboard photographers on this night. Your family decked out in costumes would make a great holiday photo card!

    • Night 6 (At sea): Semi-formal - not as dressed up as your formal night, but still a chance to teach the kiddos how to "dress for dinner."

    • Night 7 (Castaway Cay): Cruise casual - your final night to chill after your spooky sail.

    When packing for your trip, make sure your costumes are family-friendly and follow Disney guidelines. If you don't want to bring a whole additional costume for pirate night, rest assured, you will have pirate bandanas delivered to your stateroom, so those, combined with a white/black/red outfit, are perfect!

    Darlene, you know where to find us if you have any other questions. I know you are going to have a fantastically spooky sailing!
