:: A Message from BEATS AHOY! :::
So, as some people may or may not be aware, there have been some major issues on quite a few boat cruise in terms of seriously late departures. While BEATS AHOY! Thankfully hasn’t really experienced this to the extent of others, we thought it best to take some steps now to make sure it doesn’t happen.
Essentially what’s been happening is that a few bad apples have been spoiling the bunch. The cruise companies are now being aggressively supervised by the Toronto Police and the AGCO (Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario). 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 don't enjoy having unsatisfied customers after working hard to present what we think will be a special day under the sun.
Adding to the fact that searches are taking longer, late comers keep making the line up to be processed longer by jumping in late. Say there are 2 more people to get on searched.. 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. These wristbands will be given out upon arrival at the dock (the parking lot is not the dock!).
So here’s how it works:
Upon arrival you will be required to make your way towards the dock to “Check In” and get your wristband. “Check In” begins at noon and wristbands will be given out until12:30PM to ensure we receive a full 4 hours on the water. If you arrive after this time, you will NOT receive a wristband and will not be permitted to board the boat. No Exceptions. As the tickets say, PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY (It's really not that difficult!) There will be one line for ticket holders, and one line for “will call” for online ticket buyers. After “checking In” you will proceed to the dock to line up to be processed for boarding. Once on the dock, you must remain there. Just 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. 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 as well.
- Enjoy yourself RESPONSIBLY and remind your group of this. Do not 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! |
