What to Bring
- Shirts and shoes are a must for all cruises. If you're joining the Dinner Jazz Cruise, opt for “dressy casual.” Skip the jeans and go for dress pants, a skirt, or a nice blouse. Guys, a collared shirt—button-down or polo—adds a polished touch.
What’s Not Allowed
- This is a smoke-free cruise. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the boat, inside or out.
Accessibility
-
The cruise is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible.
-
Guide dogs are more than welcome aboard.
Additional Information
