Blue Angels Fleet Week

I’ve been doing this cruise for 10 years and love it every time. The food is terrific and they have free flowing champagne and a no host bar. The vantage point to watch the Blue Angels is terrific but some spots are better than others for picture taking. It’s not cheap but worth the money. A few tips, they start boarding at 1:30pm but don’t sail until 2:30pm. Seats are preassigned so you don’t have to hurry on. Most of the early boarders are hungry and fill their plates and tummy’s. Also the sooner you eat the sooner you can get to your vantage point for the show.
