Meet: At least 15 minutes before the cruise at the Chicago First Lady Dock at the river level, down the stairs at the NE corner of Michigan Ave. and Wacker Drive. Look for the League volunteer who will exchange your receipt for the ticket needed to board. Seats on the boat are first-come, first-served The dock is about 11 blocks north on Michigan Ave. from the Hilton. You can take the #3 CTA bus from the stop across the street from the Hotel on Michigan to the Michigan and South Water stop.
