The dark spirits that linger on the Queen Mary arose early this year to welcome guests aboard the majestic ocean liner's first Sinister Circus Costume Ball. Halloween enthusiasts brought their A-game to the boat's top deck while mingling with some of the newest characters of the Queen Mary's popular October attraction, Dark Harbor.
