Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the time for your cruise. Also included in the price of the ticket are homemade cookies and apple cider served at the DCA building.
Tickets will go on sale November 15th and will be available at J & W Seafood and Nauti Nell’s in Deltaville. Tickets can only be purchased in person starting on November 15th. No phone orders or pre-orders, although we will hold tickets if you call to say you are on the way to pick them up. Payment is by cash or check only made out to the DCA. Only 40 seats will be available for each time slot.
