This years Momento Mori pays homage to the pitch and roll of traveling by ship be it cruise liner or funerary barge. So let our porters port your luggage to the very grand and spacious El Presidente Suite on the Promenade Deck. There you may unpack your Halloween posts and virtual costume and slip into your cruising slippers for the languid sojourn south to balmy Honolulu. |

Right this way your stateroom is waiting, don't mind the dampness we have a little leak, nothing serious mind you. Built in 1913, the Ghost Boat is much older than she looks, with six hundred and sixty six staterooms and two life boats with space for 16 passagers each, I'll let you do the math. The luxury cruise ship is a legend in luxury ocean travel, as far as you know.
But no worries, you have booked the El Presidente Suite, which has one of the only two life boats on board at it's exclusive disposal. The Ghost Boat, christened the Pacific Princess, has enjoyed a storied career in shuffle boarding the glamorous Hollywood beau's and belle's of the big screen, far and wide over seas for decades. The Staterooms on the Promenade Deck have been outfitted with the most luxurious and finest fixtures and fabrics to ensure the ultimate comfort of our exclusive first class passengers.
Halloween is that special time of year to poke fun at life's terrifying reality, to make light of the heaviness of our own mortality, and to consume our emotions with handfuls of sickening sweets and candy. It's the time of year where we can be the contrarian, ironic self, or sexy librarian we always wanted to be or not to be. It's a time to answer the question, is it worth all the slings and arrows? Hopefully, the answer is yes and being able to laugh at the inane around us, helps with the seemingly asinine aspects of modern living.
Do you pay attention and act upon your intuition or do you let fate take the wheel and pilot your vessel by hell or high water? Do you ever get the feeling that things are about to turn for the worse but are powerless to change course... |

It appears we have overbooked, we apologize profusely but the exceptional El Presidente Suite is no longer available! No worries, we have a dank birth for you in steerage, excuse me, the Corral Deck next to the casket racks, perfect for catching up on your eternal Zzz's, pay you no mind to the sweating bleating livestock and sloshing bilge water and focus on your adventure of an after-lifetime! |

We have dispensed with the lifeboat drill as we have removed most of the lifeboats from the ship to make room for the band performing at the Haunted Masquerade and Costume Ball. Billed as electrifying and explosively loud, the Death Metal band Siren Song, known for it's frightening cover of The Morning After, has a lot of high voltage sound and extremely flammable pyrotechnic equipment being stowed in whatever space available so watch your step and for heavens sake NO SMOKING! |

The midnight buffet in steerage will feature last weeks catch, as well as, hard tack, boiled cabbages, and canned beans before it's fed to the hogs, Corral Customers have first dibs on the high felutin scraps before the swine dine. We apologize in advance for the inoperable portholes and mild mold infestation in the lower decks. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to an unexpected labor shortage (botulism) we will be operating with a skeletal crew (literally).
Enjoy your trip to Tropical and Sunny Honolulu Hawai'i... Oh, wait one moment please. There is a message from the bridge, it seems we have had a sudden change of course and we will no longer be heading to Heavenly Honolulu but rather to the Abyssal Plain and the abysmal bottom of the ocean... |
