Who says you have to be a college kid to enjoy a good ol’ booze cruise?
With Star Party Cruises, you can float around gorgeous-by-night-only Long Beach Harbor and Naples for four hours, all the while dancing along to live reggae bands aboard the MV Star.
Reggae has developed an unfair negative connotation these days with the mainstream. You think of reggae, and you think of fraternity-hosted house parties and college freshmen hanging really bad Bob Marley rasta-colored tapestries in their dorm rooms. But reggae first came along in the 1960s as a music genre for the working class, developing from the rocksteady genre. And trust us when we say there’s more than to it than “I Shot the Sheriff.”
So forego watching the ball drop from your living room couch and head down the 405 to Long Beach. Admission includes two flutes of champagne and party favors.
So, seriously, get a babysitter, leave the kids at home: It’s time to relive your college years (at least) one more time for 2010.
New Year’s Eve Reggae Cruise, Star Party Cruises: Thurs., Dec. 31, 6:30 p.m., $45. 140 Marina Dr., Long Beach, 562.799.7000. Reservations are required.
