Carnival Cruise Line is celebrating Halloween with “Frightfully Fun” festivities fleetwide this month. Highlights include the debut of Patch the Pumpkin Pirate, a 12-foot-tall swashbuckling seafarer who will greet guests as they board.
During the cruise, kids can gather around Patch to listen to Scary Story Time hosted by the cruise director.
