lesliew Posted July 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Two questions.... First time on HAL, we are sailing on Statendam Oct 21/07 (Auckland to Sydney).. Just wondering, will there be any kind of Halloween celebration on board? If so, what might it entail? Second question, does anyone know if they offer a Martini Clinic? We attended one on NCL previously and had a wonderful time. Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bout2c Posted July 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I was on the Statendam last Halloween. They had a party before dinner out by the covered pool. The dining room had wonderful decorations. The cruise staff had a costume party in the Crow's Nest in the late evening. All in all it was a fun day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted July 11, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2007 We were on the Maasdam last Halloween and there was a costume party at the Crow's Nest--what fun! Our anniversary is Oct 28 so we often travel around that time--I always pack an "easy" costume so I can dress up if there is an event--so I was in luck. Some people had REALLY elaborate costumes!

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 11, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 11, 2007 One year Halloween fell on formal night - not too many people dressed for that. That was on the Statendama couple of years ago. Only party was the one in the Crow's Nest - a few decorations in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 11, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Just saw your other question - on some of the ships that we have been on there has been a Martini class -- not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDRMark Posted July 11, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Just saw your other question - on some of the ships that we have been on there has been a Martini class -- not free. But you get to drink your mistakes. :) Major Haloween costume contest/party on Westerdam (HAL-O-ween DAM group Cruise 2006). Some very elaborate costumes. Group members won overall!

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 11, 2007 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2007 We did one once -- that was the fun part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh2zed Posted July 11, 2007 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Usually a Martini Clinic on HAL cruises. Some $$ for the drinks but N/C for any after effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patnjohn Posted July 11, 2007 #9 Share Posted July 11, 2007 We are taking our first HAL cruise in March 2008. We have done the martini clinics on Celebrity & NCL. On NCL you got to taste 10 (small) martinis. I went back to my cabin after the 1PM tasting & slept for 2 hours, got up, took a shower, then fell fast asleep for another few hours. That's when you really appreciated "anytime" dining!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted July 11, 2007 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Halloween was on informal night for us (which HAL doesn't have anymore, I guess). But I brought a headband to wear as a devil and had an outfit (red dress) for formal or informal/casual, depending on what dress code was for Halloween I could still wear my devil costume: Did I mention I really love Halloween??
