🏆🎧 WE HAVE A NEW ROCK THE BOAT CHAMPION!

FAS Family, if you came to any round of the Rock the Boat DJ Battle, then you already know… DJ Bizzon came to WORK! 🔥

Transitions? On point.
Song selection? On point.
Mixing & blending? Exceptional.
Energy? HIGH from start to finish.

The Rock the Boat DJ Battle isn’t easy, and this year every DJ was incredible. This isn’t an ordinary competition, It really takes skill, creativity, crowd control, and the ability to keep the crowd moving no matter who’s in front of you. DJ Bizzon delivered every single round and earned the title.

Please help us congratulate our 2026 Rock the Boat DJ Battle Champion, DJ Bizzon, proudly representing the City of Milwaukee!

Congratulations on an incredible performance and a well-deserved victory!

It's Me thank you for all you do to bring these DJ to the FAS experience!

A HUGE congratulations to our NEW FAS Last Comic Standing Champion, Mr. Tahir Moore Tahir Moore

Six incredibly talented comedians boarded the ship with one goal: to outlaugh the competition, win over the FAS Family, and take home the title of FAS Last Comic Standing Champion.

Round after round they brought the jokes, the energy, and the unforgettable moments, but in the end there could only be ONE winner… and Tahir Moore rose to the occasion!

Thank you to every comedian who kept us laughing all week long. Y’all made this year’s competition one for the books, and our stomachs may never recover!

Congratulations again, Tahir! Welcome to the Last Comic Standing Champions Club!

The presence of the Lord is here!

What a beautiful way to begin another day at sea.

This morning, the Reflection Theatre was filled with praise as the FAS Choir and Dance Ministry ushered in the Spirit and set the tone for the rest of FAS 34. From the very first song, you could feel His presence moving throughout the room.

A special thank you to the incredible Rev. Darrell L. Armstrong, who has faithfully poured into the FAS Family for 26 years. We are truly blessed by his leadership, his message, and his unwavering commitment to this community.

The worship doesn’t stop here! Join us for Bible Study on Monday and Thursday as we continue to lift His name, grow together, and give Him all the praise!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE FAS HOMECOMING BAND “CYCLONE OF SOUND” COMPRISED OF STUDENTS FROM MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY!!🐻🎺🥁

Talk about making an entrance!

Our Sail Away was absolutely **UNMATCHED** as the MSU Bears hit the deck with the powerful sound, precision, and energy that only an HBCU marching band can deliver.

From the very first note, they had the entire ship rocking, reminding us exactly why Homecoming isn’t just an event it’s a feeling

If this is how we’re starting the week, just imagine what’s still to come. One thing we can promise, this is going to be an FAS to remember!

IT’S HOMECOMING, Y’ALL!

📚 The Gift of Reading 📚

FAS Family, as you pack your bags, don’t forget to leave a little room for something that can change a child’s future, a book. ❤️

Our annual Book & School Supply Drive is back, and this year we’ll be giving the gift of literacy to the children of Montego Bay on Wednesday, July 29.

We’re collecting:
📖 New children’s books
✏️ School supplies
🎒 Anything that helps inspire the next generation to learn and dream big.

Every book donated opens a new world, and every school supply helps a child start the school year with confidence. Thank you for showing up year after year and making this one of our favorite Festival at Sea traditions.

Thank you for continuing to help us make an impact one book at a time. 📚

It’s Homecoming... you already know what time it is! This look is dedicated to the Divine Nine and every soror or frat who’s ready to step out representing their letters with pride.

Whether you’re celebrating your chapter, your line, or the lifelong bond of brotherhood and sisterhood, this is your moment to show the (ship) yard what you’re made up!

We expect to see that Homecoming energy all over the ship! So polish those letters, lace up those kicks, and come represent your organization in your style.

What organization are you repping?
