Frequently asked questions.

Last updated: 07/30/2025

What should I wear?

Fun summer cocktail attire! As an FYI, August nights in Portsmouth are typically warm and breezy. Also, Ann/Justin will be getting much more casual for the show at the Press Room. We will be changing before heading over.

What if I miss the ship’s boarding at 6:30 PM?

We will see you when we dock! Please give yourself enough time to get to the boat by 6:30 PM. The boat has a hard departure time of 6:45 PM.

Is there parking on the dock?

Yes! If you need to drive your car to the dock, there is free parking available at the dock. There is also paid street parking on Market St.

Will there be food?

Blue Mermaid from Kittery ME will feed us delicious, authentic Caribbean cuisine.

What’s the after-after party about?

Ann and I booked Boston’s STL GLD. This is a public show (Ann and I should be familiar with many of them), but we have reserved tickets. After we dock make your way over a few blocks to the Press Room (Upstairs). If you RSVP'd, your name is on the list, so your ticket's waiting! Just state your name(s) when you get to the stairs in the back. There is an opening act. Show starts at 11PM.
