Get ready for a spooktacular adventure at sea!
The upcoming 2026 Crazy 4 Causes Halloween Cruise is officially open for booking.
Sail away with us on a 4-day cruise from Tampa, October 22–26, 2026. The ship sails Thursday afternoon and you are off the ship early Monday morning usually before 8am. It’s the perfect mix of tricks, treats, and tropical fun—all while supporting your favorite charities.
Carnival only allows us 60 days to get the room deposits in. After that date our group rate will change…..and the scary thing is the rates never go down.
Deposits:
$25. per person based for double occupancy; $50 per person for single occupancy. Cannot choose stateroom type or location.
Full deposit is $150 per person for double occupancy; $300 per person for single occupancy (see exact dates below) Can choose to get the full deposit at booking (recommended) to choose your room type and location.
Group rates will only be for double occupancy staterooms
If someone in group wants a triple, quad or specialty stateroom it can be added to group but must be fully deposited to add.
Stateroom type and location will not be assigned until fully deposited. Another great reason to take full deposit at booking so guests can choose location early.

FAQ
Is there an added cost for supporters? No. The $32 per cabin is paid by Carnival, not the traveler.
Why are the rates so good? Carnival gives our group a discount because we sell a large block of rooms.
Who handles bookings? Mandy, our trusted travel agent, manages the full block and tracks which charity each cabin supports.
What if I don’t have a charity? You can still sail. You’ll be able to pick from the registered causes at booking.
