All parties consent to pay the full price even if the event takes place on board while docked.

Furthermore, if the Colorado King paddle-wheeler cannot depart from the dock due to water levels, weather, mechanical failures, or any other unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of LCRE, the event could still proceed as planned on board dockside.

Boarding begins immediately after a brief safety meeting held dockside 10 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
