If you are one of the lucky individuals who purchased a ticket for "The Boat Cruise" on Saturday, September 29, we just want to update you about a few important things.
First of all, boarding time begins at 6:30 pm and the boat departs at 7:00 pm. If you arrive after 7:00 pm, you will be out of luck, sorry! So please plan enough time to get there.
Secondly, please bring ID. If you plan to purchase alcohol on the boat, ID will be required (and you must be at least 19 years of age).
Finally, if you attended a boat cruise in prior years, please note that the docking location is NOT the same. (In prior years, people boarded at a pier at the foot of Yonge St.) This year's boat is operated by Pioneer Cruises and the location is at 333 Lake Shore Boulevard East, at the foot of Parliament Street. The name of the boat is the "Pioneer Princess."
