Cruise Themes

The themes have not been announced yet for this cruise but once they are we will be sure to post them.

Pre-Cruise Details

It is always recommended that you arrive the night before the cruise to ensure that you do not miss the boat. For those of you that wish to follow our recommendation, we will make arrangements at a Fort Lauderdale hotel for a group rate to stay the night before the cruise. We'll be hosting a pre-cruise Meet & Greet Reception to give everyone the opportunity to start getting to know the others that you will be sailing the open waters with. Finally, we will be offering shuttle service from the hotel to the port only.
