Many families make Seminoles at Sea an annual tradition.
More than 300 Florida State fans and friends boarded the brand-new Disney Dream™ for the third annual Seminoles at Sea cruise in early November. Prior to watching the Florida State football team play Boston College on a jumbo poolside screen, passengers had the opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes details on the Osceola and Renegade program from current rider Drake Anderson and Allen Durham (B.S. ’93), director of the Renegade team and chair-elect of the Alumni Association’s National Board of Directors. In an interview with Alumni Association President Scott Atwell, they talked about the history of Osceola and Renegade, how riders are selected and trained and the program’s special connection with the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
