Having now departed over the weekend
for its new home in Miami, Florida, the
MSC Divina last week started getting its
crew ready for the customs, holidays and
traditions recognised by their new American
clients, hosting a multitude of Halloween-themed
events onboard last week.
Staff also got into the act, recreating some
of the most famous scenes from the most
well-known horror movies in preparation for
a wild Halloween horror costume party!
Prizes were given out to the best costume
on board among the passengers, while
special arts & crafts sessions were held to
make a number of Halloween items to give
to friends and family as souvenirs.
Kids were not left out, with a children’s
costume parade held in the theatre for all
the little vampires, zombies and all the minimonsters,
limited only by their imaginations.
The spookiness wasn’t limited to the
Divina, with all ships at sea on 31 Oct also
being decorated
from bow to
stern with black
cats, pumpkins,
witches, with
haunting music
playing over
loudspeakers
and ship bars
serving a range
of creepy, chilling
cocktails and
drinks (see right).
