Margaritaville at Sea invites brave cruisers to ‘Sail the Spooky Seas’
From Oct. 7 – Nov. 1, 2024, Margaritaville at Sea will lure passengers to its “newly haunted” ships with wickedly fun activities for all ages and devilishly delicious drinks and treats.
Passengers can “Sail the Spooky Seas” on the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise sailing 2-, 3- and 4-night cruises from Palm Beach to the Bahamas and Key West, or the Margaritaville at Sea Islander sailing 4- and 5-night cruises from Tampa to Mexico and Key West.
The Halloween sailings will feature trick-or-treating, tongue-tingling cocktails, desserts to die for, thrilling entertainment, scream-a-longs, and scary-good fun. Spooktacular celebrations, and maybe something sinister, will haunt every deck. Passengers are encouraged to pack their creepiest costumes to participate in costume contests planned for each Halloween sailing.
