Hosted by: Sasha Niveole, Kristin Insley, Jon Jon, Ana Gala, Tony Au, Steve Shaft, Gabriella, Emma C and Jeff Button.

Boarding at: Pier 29 - 262 Queens Quay W
(Just east of Sherbourne St)

BOARDING BEGINS AT NOON
Departure at 12:30 Sharp

*** IMPORTANT - CHANGES TO THE BOARDING PROCEDURE ***
YOU NEED A WRIST BAND TO BOARD THE BOAT. WRIST BANDS WILL BE HANDED OUT PRIOR TO BOARDING TIME AT THE DOCK (this means the DOCK, not the parking lot!). AFTER THIS TIME THEY WILL NO LONGER BE HANDED OUT, SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, YOU ARE NOT GETTING ON THE BOAT. THIS WILL PREVENT THE BOAT BEING DELAYED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE SHOWING UP LATE. SO GET THERE EARLY AND GET A WRIST BAND!

::: A Message from BEATS AHOY! :::

So here is the truth about late departures on boat cruises.. We want to do everything we can to leave on time. Unfortunately a few bad apples spoil the bunch and the cruise companies have been aggressively supervised by the AGCO and Toronto Police because some patrons do drugs or drink too much on the cruises. The cruise companies, in effort to protect their liquor licenses and the safety of everyone on board, are spending more time processing people to get on the boats. And rightfully so. This means thorough searches upon boarding because some people can't figure out where to draw the line. It's an unfortunate situation, but we support their efforts because people who get out of control, ultimately ruin the fun for everyone else. We do not enjoy the negative reviews and publicity from these incidents. We don't enjoy watching people overdose on drugs or alcohol. We especially don't enjoy having unsatisfied customers after working hard to present what we think will be a special day under the sun.

So what has been happening is that the late comers keep making the line up to be processed longer by jumping in late. Say there are 2 more people to get on board.. then a group of 10 runs around the corner and they now need to get on, then 5 more.. and so on. It doesn't end until everyone on board is already pissed that the boat is leaving late. So the people who show up on time get punished for being on time, and the people who come late think it's cute that the boat waited for them.

You're fed up, so are we.

This year, Beats Ahoy! will be implementing a wristband boarding policy. Everyone will receive a wristband upon arrival to the dock (the parking lot is not the dock!). We will give these out until boarding is closed. Anyone arriving after the boarding time will not receive a band and will not be allowed to board the boat. No exceptions. You will not be allowed to leave the docking area once you've received a wrist band. Get on the damn boat, and let's get to it! The cruise companies will be supporting us in our efforts to leave promptly, just as we support theirs in keeping people safe. Please spread the word and help us help you have maximum fun this summer!!

That said.. here are some other things to consider for cruises this summer..

- Avoid bringing purses and backpacks. These items are subject to searches and slow down the boarding process significantly. If you must bring extra clothing etc, consider sharing a pack with someone else in your group.

- Different boats have different policies, but bottled liquids are generally not permitted. THIS INCLUDES SUNSCREEN on some boats (River Gambler for example). But don't fret.. BEATS AHOY! cruises will always have sunscreen available for you if you need it. Check near the dj booths or ask a crew member to grab some for you from the Captains deck. We'll have some available at both spots. You can always ask a host to help you too.

- Enjoy yourself RESPONSIBLY and remind your group of this. Don't over do it. Drink lots of water. Remember you're in the sun, not in a club at night. If you know someone overdoing it before the cruise, chances are they're going to mess things up for everyone else once we leave port. Remind them to be smart & safe.

Looking forward to seeing you out May 30 & Canada Day! Make sure you show up on time.. tardiness wont be tolerated this year!
