In the Halloween cruises that I have been it has the tree in the middle and the characters dress up (some of them). They have different areas for trick o treating. I seen also the kids club having some fun stuff for them when I drop off my son. The also did like a scavenger hunt a costume contest and group contest. I thought it was pretty fun! I also booked again this year as I love the Halloween cruise as I can take some vacation time. Just ordered my Halloween decorations again over the phone as I didn't see them online but they have them for sale. This year for the first time they are doing a cool throw and pillow with it... can't wait to see it! should be a fun cruise again.
