What about CyHra? Only 9,368 last.fm listeners.

Or are we ruling them out as they are a 'supergroup'?

No, we're just ruling them out because they sound like Cyhra

Also, I managed to see 0 of the bands on the list. Whoops.

Just a few more interesting stats, around the 62 individuals that have submitted wishlists so far :) Year Registered on the Forum: 7 from 2010 (the oldest being me! YAY!, registered on 19th March 2010) 2017 the most popular, with 11 wishlists from people that first registered in that year. Number o...

The NEXT DEPARTURE countdown clock is up and ticking on the home page

It rolled over once it hit zero. I sent the picture to Mooyagi as you all were anchors up and departing port.

Which means I didn't get it until we returned from the trip.

T-minus 50 days before mooyagi starts bitching about the heat.

I won't make it to 50. Also, somebody keeps turning the heat on in the house and it's pissing me off.

Edit: She just did it again. I was so comfortable too.

Me not having a slice of that 70k cake. Still wonder if it was good... IT. WAS. NOT. Unless you love buttercream. I swear it was about 90% buttercream and 10% cake. I've always been on the outside for muster drills. Being in there was body to body packed, took forever, couldn't hear a word anything...

The wedding proposal during Van Canto. Not metal. Next year, hopefully someone comes up on stage and serves their significant other divorce papers.

Holy necropost! What happened to the Engine Room?

Devin Townsend and Vuur so Anneke van Giersbergen can join him.

Counting partial sets Accept - 1 Arkona - 1 (Just the end of the rain delayed set) Bloodbath - 2 Coroner - 1 Dark Funeral - 1 Delain - 1 (Got caught up on the pool deck while watching us leave Haiti so I heard it at least) Eluveitie - 2 Ensiferum - 1 Fleshgod Apocalypse - 1 Grim Reaper - 1 (Only a c...

22 cruisers, 687 requests, 449 unique acts requested. Top requests so far. Didn't take long for Amon Amarth to break out into the lead. Note that GREEN are bands that have been on previously. 10 Amon Amarth 6 Amorphis , Be'lakor, Powerwolf 5 Alestorm , behemoth , Blind Guardian , Dimmu Borgir, Hypo...

Question about black survivors. Are they the only ones who would get that status or is it gonna be for anyone who reaches 10 cruises from now on? It sounded like it was for 10 cruises, but I'm not sure if any of us know. I hope they do it again, those cards were sweet. All the Royal Caribbean crew ...

Is Majesty better in terms of indoor venues? Majesty is far better for the pool deck. For the theaters, Independence has better seating but I feel like Majesty had a better floor space. The lounges both suck but Majesty's was a little better. Independence has the ice rink, which is excellent and Ma...

Just a few random notes. I'm sure we'll discuss much more as the post-cruise blues wear off. Aside from a couple of sound issues here and there, things went very well. The rain delay was unfortunate on Day 2 but not much you can do about it. I was quite impressed that things finally started on time ...

Initial wishlist of 15 with no repeats:

Ayreon
Borknagar
Caligula's Horse
Chthonic
Devin Townsend
Emperor
Khemmis
King Goat
Leprous
Messa
Mgła
Myrath
Seventh Wonder
Sigh
Triptykon

Popped down to the Schooner Bar and it was too packed so I left. Sorry folks. Maybe next time.

17 people. If we keep this momentum, we might break a record for a forum meet n' greet. Or maybe I'm wrong? Probably would be the most since we left the Majesty but the meetups on the first couple of 70Ks were quite large. The early Majesty meetups were also much larger due to the size of Kevin's h...

I don’t get that. I’ve never gotten to port before noon. What’s the point? Because most people are getting bounced from their hotels by 11 anyway, and once you're on board you have access to free food and socially acceptable drinking. Also gives time to roam around the holding area upstairs and say...

Lily-Anne was born early this morning... She's perfect

Congrats!

Very nice announcement. One more band I have wanted to see in quite some time, but never have. Perfect! About air travel: We have flown into the US from Switzerland on Saturday, no issue at all. Oh and my on board entertainment system on the aircraft (Aer Lingus A330) had Krisiun as an option. I wa...

Nice announcement. Haven't seen them in a little bit. B gives us another chance for Borknagar. Make it happen!

ONLINE CHECK-IN!!! Just arrived :)

Got mine too!

For what it's worth, I had no issues flying over the weekend. Well, other than usual airline bullshit. Of course, by the time the cruise rolls around things could get pretty bad.

That's a gut wrenching way to lose. Hockey gods clearly made that stick break.

Could NOT believe that tying goal went it!

Just a wild bounce. Crazy how much luck can factor into an elimination game.
