WHAT’S IT LIKE TO celebrate ON THE WATER? Your cruise experience will vary slightly based on your boat and the time of day, but here’s generally what you can expect from your celebration.
1 GATHER YOUR CREW
Celebrating with lots of friends or family? Your party will be seated together so long as you have one person make the reservation, or reference the first reservation number when making additional orders. Afterward, you’ll receive an email with directions and tips on what to wear.
2 TICKET PICK-UP
Before boarding time, you can pick up your tickets at the booth near your boat.
3 BOARDING
As you board, your group will have a chance to take a professional photo together. The prints will be available for purchase later in the cruise or at the end. Just like a restaurant, a hostess will greet you and take you to your table.
4 WELCOME
Setting in, meet your server and get ready to cast off! You can help yourself to the buffet at any time. Your server will dismiss you to the buffet, and afterward you can help yourself throughout the rest of the cruise.
5 EXPLORE THE SHIP
No need to stay stuck in your seat. Feel free to explore the ship at any time – especially the rooftop lounges and outdoor spaces! Sip on a cocktail while relaxing on the outdoor deck, or snap a photo with the city’s skyline as your backdrop.
6 DANCE AWAY
Typically there’s a DJ on each deck, and during the cruise he or she will acknowledge all those celebrating something special like a birthday or anniversary. Feel free to submit your song requests, and keep an ear open for the couples’ dance.
7 SOMETHING SWEET
Finish off your cruise with a sweet dessert. Those celebrating with us are often treated to something extra sweet.
8
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
Once the boat docks, no need to hurry off. Relax as you savor the last song, finish your dessert or get your boarding photo before our crew wishes you well.
FAQs
WHAT’S TYPICALLY INCLUDED FOR MY SPECIAL CELEBRATION?
A buffet-style menu with multiple courses. DJ Entertainment with a special occasion shout-outs. A celebration dessert for the Guest of Honor. Coffee, tea and iced tea.
HOW CAN I AMP-UP MY SPECIAL OCCASION? Pre-purchase a bottle of champagne or a favorite wine to have waiting at your table.
Upgrade your ticket with a bar package for each guest. Consider a celebration package with special touches
like commemorative champagne flutes or a bouquet of flowers waiting at your table.
WHAT CAN I BRING ON TO THE SHIP? We want you to make the cruise your own! You’re welcome to bring small table decorations and party favors aboard. You can also bring gifts and a personalized birthday cake (as long as it doesn’t need to be stored in the fridge.)
WHAT’S THE DRESS CODE? On Spirit, lunch attire is more casual while dinner is dressier. Dark-wash jeans, nice sandals or dresses all work well. Please avoid ball caps and athletic wear.
WHAT IF I WANT MORE PRIVACY AND CUSTOMIZATION? While your party will always be seated together, with a traditional ticket you’ll be sharing your space with other groups. Private spaces and decks are available to rent out at an additional cost.
ARE THERE SPECIAL RATES FOR GROUPS? If you’re planning on having more than 20 guests, talk to our team about the special group rates that are available!
WHAT HAPPENS IN BAD WEATHER? Our fleet can cruise in rain, shine or snow all year round. Each deck is climate controlled, and the weather will not affect your cruise. In the case of severe weather, the ship will remain dockside for the length of the event.
