The kids are excited, the adults are scared: tomorrow is Hallowe’en… a frightful tradition popular in the United States and increasingly haunting households around Australia.
In the spirit of the day guests onboard Carnival Cruise Lines’ Australian-based ships will be treated – or tricked – to a “Frightfully Fun” celebration of Hallowe’en.
Dressed-up ghosts, witches and zombies of all ages onboard Carnival Legend and the aptly-named Carnival Spirit will be thrilled by a night of frights including Frightfully Fun Trivia, face-painting, a dress-up costume parade and spooky cocktails like Green Goblin or Vampire’s Kiss.
There’ll also be trick-or-treating fun for the whole family, with maps provided to guide spooks to candy stations hidden around the ship, while a gala Hallowe’en-themed dance party will top off the fun with a hair-raising menu including Scary Cheesecake and R.I.P. Chocolate Pumpkin Pate.
For adults keen to get into the spirit at home, follow this recipe to create Carnival Cruise Lines’ Witches Brew cocktail:
· 40mLs Bacardi white rum
· 15mLs Dekuper Razzamatazz (raspberry liqueur)
· 90mLs ginger ale
Combine all ingredients with a wedge of lime and serve over ice for a chilling sensation!
