Noblesse World Cruse
At the sound of the Captain’s Whistle on Saturday, January 31st 2004, Krewe de la Noblesse raised the gangplank and set sails for Noblesse World Cruse. The Krewe celebrated its 19th year of black-tie pageantry at the Civic Center Coliseum.
Krewe members and their guests entered the coliseum via the Noblesse Cruise Ship Dock with the vivid colors and beauty of a Polynesian Paradise. The evening's festivities opened with a patriotic medly sung by the Pastime Quartet of Sweet Adelines International and posting of the National and State colors by the Sowella Technical Comunity Sea Cadets.
