Sailors! Remember this time last year how frustrated we all were at the lack of news, announcements? Double guessing ourselves (some of us were) and what could be the delay. HA! I would gladly swap this Covid crap for that. Speculating what bands will be onbroad etc. I miss it. Cannot believe I am e...

Part of me wishes the 70k cruise didn't always have to sail out of Florida each year. I cannot imagine the undertaking it would be to have the 70k cruise operate from a different country each year, or even another state in the US. Just wishful thinking. I do imagine that if say, 70k was to sail out ...

Guessing the cancellation date of...

September 2nd.

:(

So, no 200 days to sailing post. 197 days to go...to something, sometime... This silence so far, is looking like what others here are saying, that it's not gonna happen until well into 2021. I guess I was being very hopeful that we'll see a 200 days to go thing. Not a 'We're still sailing' post, but...

200 days to sailing!
Or is it?

I thought we might at least see something from Skip and co. today.

In 10 days, it will be 200 days to sailing. We might get an update from the Skip about the next cruise. I would imagine it won't mention anything close to cancellations. I bet he will be more determined than ever to set sail for us all come Jan 7th, 2021. Just a hunch. Also, has anyone got that lis...

Just saw you Dallas in the 70k recap video "let me in" chant. Was that the Windjammer?
Crazy 630pm opening times...what was that all about?
That "let me in" could be re-done now for supermarket aisles for dunny paper!
Get a gang together! ha ha

Those 7-11 dates work really well for me due to my work at that time of year, I get 6 weeks off!
But I thought those dates, people would be in an outrage! Yeah?
If I recall, those dates angered just about everyone.

I wasn't on here for a couple of days or so, but people asking for the source. It was sent to me by a Mexican amiga on fbook. Buggered if I know where I can find that post now. But now, as you can see, the bands cancelling for H & H in Mexico are happening. Devin Townsend just postponed his Europe t...

Now that the festival seems to be cancelled...what happens with 70k tubs and attendance? Set up some 70k tubs in the middle of the desert, away from other humans? https://scontent.fmel2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/s960x960/89851963_679603739475976_4138161055090081792_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_sid=110474&_n...

Yeah....rightio. :lol: :lol: :lol: Reckon we'll get some news/update for March 1st re boat? YES! WE WILL GET...... Another pool b...

Reckon we'll get some news/update for March 1st re boat?

Deaths over 2,600 now, huge outbreak in northern italy.... certainly showing no signs of slowing down: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 And while on this topic, here is what Royal Caribbean have put in place: https://www.royalcaribbea...

And.....hopefully an announcement for the X10th cruise, with dates and details at this festival!!!!!
Siiiiii??
Por favor!!!

So tired of coming back to see if there's any info.
At least take down the previous dates/cruise and give a hint...something.

2021

Borknagar HAS to be there this time!

Heya After reading all your bits ^ and thinking my own thoughts, that there is zero dates and no boat (yet) tells me they are working on something different. If that's a whole other port or State? Key West? Galveston? Sth Carolina? LA? New Orleans? Tampa? . But the Skip said Jamaica. So how many boa...

What is at Turks? I got off, walked on the beach, went in whatever restaurants were there and took a look, realized there wasn't shit else, then got back on the ship. Love Turks! One of the best beaches/swimming ever! The Conch at John's Ocean View is awesome! Yum! Although, finding good or any pos...

If I may leap in here. NEGATIVES Windjammer food was boring. The breakfast was dull each day. But let's face facts, they'll never have the mighty Weet-Bix on broad! Sorrento's pizza - just awful. Band merch: All the shirts I wanted were gone by the time I was let in. I had the 800+ ticket number. By...

Don't we get some sorta rank bank graph or something, to show, who had the most MUST SEE acts and the least?

I'm very curious!

....and Ok, I've never guessed this thing right in any way shape or form before.
But, I'll have a crack at it.

Aug 07.

Well, this was a nice Round X. Lineup was as good as any of the previous years, with lots of great options. Had a blast with friends. Cozumel was kinda meh and disappointing imo Sorry to hear that mate! In Cozumel, our group went to Chankanaab for a most excellent swim/scuba/snorkel and food. Saw S...

So we have a destination (Jamaica) but no confirmed dates or ship. Will definitely not say no to 2021, but will definitely need a bucketlist band announced before booking opens. Not my fave 70K, but had some of my fave moments out of any 70k though :) Certainly a highlight was Simone of Epica handi...

I sat down for lunch in Florida today and the Soilwork post was a cool surprise. 3 - Devin Townsend 3 - Vio-Lence 2 - Einherjer 2 - Epica 2 - Candlemass 2 - Moonsorrow 2 - Kampfar 2 - Cattle Decapitation 2 - Æther Realm 2 - Soen 2- Omnium Gatherum 2 - Incantation 1 - Wintersun 1 - Emperor 1 - Sortil...

Holy crow! 61 bands reached! Hello all from Little Five Points, Atlanta. It's a wet, rainy day, all day here. If you have a chance later and you're near a radio, tune in to 91.1 FM after midnight. Atlanta's only metal radio show...and I'll be on there. (Possibly after one of my co-hosts. :mrgreen: ...

notice that....Soon is with a capitol S in the skip's last post?
Is it just me, or is there something lurking in that? A hint?

Nah, the EXODUS post in 2018 said “See all of you Sailors”, and nothing happened.

I was Saying............... ha ha ha
Let's get 1 more band!!'

Goodness! 61 bands. I've been flat out exploring each day, shopping, eating GREAT southern food here in Atlanta. Wow... I get back to my air BnB each night, too stuffed to do much. Lack of attention spans etc. But today, the weather across Atlanta was grim as fukk. Got soaked at the MLK Center/Memor...

Holy crow! 61 bands reached! Hello all from Little Five Points, Atlanta. It's a wet, rainy day, all day here. Wish this rain could be sent to Australia! Awful, appalling news from there continues :( But, hard to focus on that. Hard to focus on these recent additions too. Hands up if you think we'll ...

Hey y'all sailors! Happy New Year and....Happy New Decade from Atlanta, Georgia! I went to the local Kroger, grabbed some beers and was tempted to buy some fireworks. But screw it, there's plenty of that going off here in Little Five Points right now. Let's hope we get that O band the second the clo...

Update from Savannah, Georgia (part 2) Gosh...hard keeping track of band updates, on the road etc. Pellaz....oh wow! If only I knew Incantation were gonna be sailing with us!! Atlanta is my next stop. 3 - Devin Townsend 3 - Vio-Lence 2 - Einherjer 2 - Epica 2 - Candlemass 2 - Moonsorrow 2 - Kampfar ...

On the road update. Greetings from Savannah, Georgia. I got off to an early start for this pre-cruise trip." Really annoyed that the bands recently added, were all added after I left home. But very glad we are back to announcements. I have a bunch of bands to research and being on the road to do so ...

All set to fly to the US!

None of those 24 bands either.
So annoying!

Hopefully when I land, 23 bands to go!

Cya all next decade in Florida!

24 bands in 16 days!

What's the math here then?
can't be 1 band a day anymore.

I still think we'll get a Xmas stocking bands poster thing.
3 bands in the one stocking!?!?

But has to be at least some bands before that!

TURN IT UP SKIP!
Let's roll.

I have South Carolina, Georgia and Texas adventures first.

HA!!
Ah I did make a Georgia playlist for my travels across the state.
That song is on there.
Cheers

PS: CAN WE PLEASE RE-START THE BAND ANNOUNCEMENTS ALREADY?

Yeah not a happy xmas for a lot of Aussies :( I'll be heading to Buffalo and Toronto pre cruise then heading down to Miami day before. Not hanging around much after the cruise though - just a night in FLL after the cruise to recover and then home to Australia via LAX and Auckland. So grim here. The...

A few weeks ago I was thinking, what I thought not unrealistically, that we may have 50 bands by the time I fly out of Australia. I fly out Christmas Day. I am now honestly thinking there will probably still be 36 bands when I fly out. I fly out tomorrow to the US and still no 24 bands. Hardly a ce...

I fly out tomorrow to the US and still no 24 bands.
Hardly a celebrating 10 yr mood/vibe.

It's bizarre.

My first cruise back since 2015 and it's been a roller coaster up and down of emotions.
Maybe we'll get a Xmas Eve band pack in a Xmas stocking poster!
Or just the usual pathetic silence.
