QueenVee Entertainment throws boat-based bashes that soak costumed partygoers in ocean spray and good times. Set sail for a 3.5-hour soirée aboard a 3-story, Grand Romance cruise ship in the style of a 19th-century steamboat, complete with an open-air top deck and a team of acrobatic Mark Twain impersonators. Grab a drink ($5–$10) at one of two full bars or an appetizer of nachos ($5), hitch up your holster or frighteningly realistic Neptune costume, and mingle with friends or find the glamorous supervillain to your sexy police officer.

A professional DJ pumps out the jams, keeping the frat-party energy high until the midnight performance by hip-hop or pole dancers. Creative theme-appropriate attire could win top prize in the costume contest, so dress to impress as a robber, Roman senator, or especially dedicated sheet salesman. Boarding begins at 10 p.m. each night, and the boat will redock by 2 a.m. after a total of 2.5 hours of cruising time.
