Halloween on a European cruise?

[hp_slash]

I'll be sailing through the Adriatic on Brilliance of the Seas in late October, and heading to Split, Croatia on Halloween. I know Royal has big to-dos on board Caribbean and U.S. based sailings for Halloween, but do they do anything on European cruises? I know European nations don't celebrate Halloween like in the US. Just want to know if DH and I should be shopping for costumes!

Not sure for a Europe Cruise, but wore this once on a Caribbean sailing.

FWIW, I was in Amsterdam boarding a Uniworld Rhine River cruise last Halloween.   No reference to Halloween anywhere.  We will have just disembarked from a Med cruise this Halloween and will still be in Lisbon but I am not expecting anything.

Symphony of the Seas Halloween 2018 in the Med.  They also had a awesome haunted house set up in Studio B

Did a transatlantic a few years ago leaving from Barcelona and they had a lot of Halloween festivities.  There was a surprising amount of passengers in costume given nearly everyone had an international flight either there or back home after.   Huge costume contest/party on the promenade and it was certainly hundreds in costume.  I’d imagine they will have festivities, but it would be hard to know for sure beforehand.

This is a popular myth with Americans.  You would be amazed at the Halloween festivities in Europe
