I've never hated the word 'soon' so much, than I do now.

Yeah, I gave up waiting and decided I'll spend my cabin $ saved cash on airfare to New York, Boston, Gettysburg, DC, Philly, New Hampshire and chase some Amish and see the mighty Niagara Falls from both sides. Spending my birthday-suit day in NY and hoping to catch up with some survivors in all thes...

Be baffled all ya want! Many said Anthrax were too big to play the cruise, years ago and they finally did it. We are all baffled. We are all getting very anxious and nervous. We all need to plan. Save $$ and there has been zip. Nothing. I've missed the airfare (cheap window) and now I'd be paying $8...

So...let's say, we FINALLY get some bands announced and the first 4 are nothing you wanna see! How would that be, for this really long wait? Or the bands are just some 'previous cruises' bands? Not SLAYER....or something big! Imagine it was https://78.media.tumblr.com/f458fc6c85d57f7ea7ed5d387bf7ffa...

2020 Super Bowl in Miami! Oh hell. Imagine if the cruise announcements and cabin sales took this long, again next year! It would be chaos for us all to book any rooms before the cruise. I don't know why we even need to have the cruise at the same time as that NFL thing anyway. Maybe 2020, we get to ...

Back in mid July, airfares to FLL from Sydney, return, were $1,200 AU. Now, they are $1,989 return (as I looked yesterday). The longer this wait for bands, cabin sales to start, the highest the airfares and then there are the hotel rooms to book across Miami and I see already, many Aussies giving up...

All this waiting has been such a drag. After a few cruises, I missed the last 2. So I was keen as fukk to come back. But, with airfares, hotels, car rentals, before/after cruise adventures across the US and saving up $$ and not having the cabin sorted well & truly by now, I give up! I'm out. Hav...

Hope it really isn't just a wait until Demons and Wizards do their thing on Aug 4 -
What a monumental disappointment that would be.

So much speculating now.

That is odd.

What's going on Skip?

Maybe, we'll get a 6 months to sailing date, on July 31 - with a tid bit on SOON bands type news!

We are all in the dark on what the heck is going on.

Hunches.....gut feeling....guesses.

Sigh.

I'm actually trying to calculate the installments if we get the green light say, Aug 1st.
With Xmas in the way too. Bugger.
I was hoping to have the first chunk $$ by now.

If there's no cruise news/announcement by this weekend, it's over.


Or, I proudly eat my words too!





https://www.google.com.au/maps/@35.0627 ... 6656?hl=en

If I had a $1 for each time I clicked on this site to see if there was an update...

Gosh knows what that would be by now!

Speaking of Symph X....I was in Montreal, Quebec one evening, think it was 2007 if I recall....mighta been on the other visit....anyway, had no idea whatsoever they were in town that very night. Me and my friend, we watched Stargate: Atlantis or something, about 9 episodes in a row....wasn't unitl s...

In all massive bouts of honesty, I wasn't convinced it was cancelled.

But I am scratching my intelligence centre wondering what the bloody heck is the delay here.

Aren't we all? Yep!

Can't/won't book flights until I see a line up beginning.

We all shoulda had something by now.



Many cruisers were booked, this time last year.

Maybe the cruise is cancelled

I'd be happy to have ST on the boat, but with Dave Lombardo, may as well add Dead Cross too! https://78.media.tumblr.com/9d156cbe9c09f05ff7b08f2f257b2b84/tumblr_inline_pbnk2qAkmu1qdhgi2_400.gif Maybe ST can do a 'metal' set. Their 1988-1994 period, plus the new record, which I love. As for the reali...

It's just getting depressing now.

The wait.

200 days - 3hrs (where I am currently).

C'mon Skip!

Skip to it!

We still have time for more wish list action though, as we all await the first announcements etc.. I got one more! https://78.media.tumblr.com/40a4ecff36a5bec163e01cb082442a2a/tumblr_inline_oemfwtuoU01qdhgi2_400.gif Not sure if the band tour much, but it would be weird and totally awesome for Solefa...

...sorry....one extra bit.
I doubt moving was the excuse.

But we are so eager and tired of waiting! Eh!

World Cup! It is very distracting. France vs the kitchen table cloths, in the Final. Was there a delay like this in 2014? I don't remember waiting this long. Dallas would have the stats on that one! Hope it's not just another 200 days to go....Soon graphic. What a drag that would be. https://78.medi...

Speaking of Megadeth.... I wonder if they'd come on broad. Because Mustaine once said the band refuses to play with 'satanic' bands! https://78.media.tumblr.com/6f3436d6b843e752e12f4306ca08298a/tumblr_inline_ou298tnCqv1qdhgi2_400.gif And remember the silliness surrounding the addition of the awesome...

Maybe we'll get something on the '200' days to go!
That's in 5 days!



Maybe.

Let's announce something already!
RRaagghhhh!!

But, time's a ticking!

It's the 8th in Oz.

No, make that the 8th now in Nth America.

Oh well.

I should shut my yapper!

Ahhh oops indeed. I never make mistakes either! haha Ok ok...I guessed wrong twice. 7/7 I see some say. That reminds me of King Diamond - the song '7th day of july 1777 '. ooooh maybe for the first time ever, on broad....the King!?????!!!! https://78.media.tumblr.com/405a3becb1c3a741e7fd4a88a8ac8218...

Machine Head?

Mm, I'm no real fan but I wonder if they'd take up the offer.


I'd love to see YOB come onbroad!
New album, new band (for the boat).

Not trying to give myself a second guess, second chance, but, I fly down to Tasmania tomorrow and I just got a feeling that when I'm down there, friends will tell me when I least expect it, the announcement is up! Electric Wizard in Hobart. Gonna be crushingly awesome. How about them on the boat? Or...

Dimmu Borgir, I saw someone mention. Mmm, I think they had way too much choir on their new record. They desperately need ICS Vortex back in the band, or someone with those clean vocals. Then, I'm all in! 'Gateways' is a terrific song. I know I said it before, but here it is again....you all Sigh.......

Ah, good to know!
It's been a while since I was onbroad (2012,2013,2014,2015)

Now we're in June, I gotta say it's gotta be between now and 6 weeks
when we start to get announcements.

I cannot remember if the tix go on sale to Gold members first, before bands are announced, or, bands start being announced before tix go on sale!

Empty out your pockets!
See a pocket spell?

A blend of magic salt, herbs & other esoteric ingredients, call on the Abzu and Absu!


Prepare thy kilt!

I can hear the crackling flames from the dungeons of the deep! Lucifer wants to come on board! Nicke Anderson has joined the ranks! https://78.media.tumblr.com/15a6ba64786947e9a0dd9cca3b05ee4d/tumblr_inline_p9e1omyyLl1qdhgi2_400.gif Make it so! 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 survivor

Oh yeah....book them in!!!



Must have!

We also need some Hell on board!



:)

Ok my bad... Survivors! I am looking forward to welcoming you back on board for Round 9 of 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise sailing from Miami/Ft. Lauderdale to Labadee and back, January 31 – February 4, 2019. Thank you and Cheers! Your Skipper I see it now!! ...

Hopeless website.
