Alcoholic beverages. Is there a charge or is it included?

There is no charge for alcoholic beverages, be sure to drink responsibly.

What if the weather is bad?

What if I have limited mobility?

At check-in, guests with limited mobility will be directed to board using the skywalk to gain access to the second and third decks for duration of the event.

Transportation is not provided by the College, to or from, this event.

Where should I park?

To access the terminal parking lot in Lewes, utilize the second entrance on Cape Henlopen Drive. Please note, this is not the toll booth entrance; this entrance is marked with a blue sign that says, "Foot Passenger Parking Lot." Signs will be posted for parking.

No. We suggest "cruise casual.” Flat soled shoes are best to keep your sea legs steady. Be sure to bring a jacket or sweater in the event there is a chill. And of course, Delaware Tech swag is encouraged.

No. All alumni and their guests must be pre-registered. In the event you "missed the boat" we will see you in 2024.

Heavy hors d'oeuvres, will be served at no cost. Heavy hors d'oeuvres is neither light fare nor dinner, just enough to fill you up and give you time to mingle with your fellow alumni.

Weather permitting, the Captain will sail the vessel along the Delaware Bay.

Will there be entertainment?

Exciting musical entertainment will be provided by The Funsters!

Can I volunteer for set-up?

YES - We will need all hands on deck! Please Contact Christie Caris, (302) 857-1582 or ccaris@dtcc.edu, if you are interested in volunteering.

No, all registrations must occur before September 1.
