Setting Sail
Captain's Orders: Upon arrival, swing by check-in to scribble your name on the Parade Float Rider Waiver. It's like a pirate code, ensuring everyone plays fair and has a swashbucklin' good time.
Dress Code: Don your "The Krewe" costume – it's your Mardi Gras passport to revelry! Think vibrant colors, dazzling masks, and beads galore. Remember, the flashier, the better!
Yar, Mateys, Beware!: While we try to keep all crews together, sometimes larger groups might split into different dining parties and floats. But fear not! New friends await to share the Mardi Gras merriment.
Charting the Course:
Mind the Clock: Arrive 15 minutes before your dining reservation, like a punctual pirate reporting for duty. Then, 30 minutes before the parade sets sail, be ready to join the pre-party festivities. Remember, parade times can shift like the tide, so keep an eye on the horizon!
Identity Check: When you reach your port of call (the restaurant), whip out your valid ID like a secret treasure map. It confirms your party name and ensures smooth boarding.
