200 days post:
I sorta wasn't surprised there was no real news in that one.
I hoped there'd be hints or, straight out something.
We needs Stats Man to give us an average of when to expect something!
last year's 4 month silence was nuts.

70k presence at Heavy Montreal!!

Not long now!!!
Last year, there was no presence there (? is that true?)

Here we go!
Je ne peux pas attendre!

200 days to sailing, from where I am, right now!
2137hrs (Thursday Bahamas time) 199 days there.
So maybe, in 3 hrs we'll all be 200 days to sailing!
C'mon Skip!
Let's roll out the announcements!

4 days and it's 200 days to sailing!
Can we get something 'news' worthy?

Flights are booked for me! So I'm in (2020)

Don't be shy Skip!
Bust out a news day we all get pumped about!

Wait a sec! I think I said earlier that July 2, will be 200 days from sailing! I was way off. Ha! Maybe only I noticed this error. 10 days from now, it will be 200 days! Can we see a '200 days from sailing post' that will give us a bigger clue to when things will get underway? Will we see 'album pre...

I'm with those other guys who started a Vio-Lence chat on the Bridge.

I'd love to see them onbroad!


If only....

Sailors! Aloha! I have been wondering, this being the 10th anniversary cruise, what 'special' sets will we get and by what band (s). * 30yrs anniversary album sets. 1990 albums. Maybe.... * A one off show, of some kind, but, by what band? * 25th anniversary album sets. 1995 albums. Maybe... * Tom G ...

what's happened to the Day 4 recap video?

I'm not sure if anyone else has made a wish for Jag Panzer to be onbraod 2020, but I am! http://www.metallibrary.ru/bands/discographies/images/jag_panzer/pictures/jag_panzer.gif I missed the 2016 cruise. So, this is the one! Also, think....albums that came out in 1990 Bands playing their album in en...

Actually, in all massive bouts of curiosity here, July 2nd marks 200 days to sailing!

So, who guessed July 2?

Shit's pretty dead around 70k HQ right now.
I have started saving $ for a cabin.
I want so bad to see first announcements/news but I'm nowhere near ready to book a thing right now!

Hot damn!

I thought we'd at least get a '8 months from sailing' post/update thing.
Drives me mad this does.
The whole guessing game thing, I hate it.

Sailors! May 7 will be 8 months from sailing. Will we see one of those '8 months' news update? I hope so, but it will only be a 'come back and check for updates soon...' thing again, probably. Round X - I was originally thinking we'll get something 10 months out from sailing date. But there was noth...

It would be awesome to see Gruesome!

I've never seen them live before.



Have they been on the boat yet?

I'd like to see Cryptrot on the boat!



These tormented fukkers hail from the cracks of doom somewhere in Ohio, I think.

Wow!
So many reQuests for Be'lakor!
Until now I had never heard of them and had no idea they were from Melbourne.
How did this band slip under my radar for so long?



I checked them out and I'd say add another point to the wishlist.
Bring onbroad Skip!

All of these responses are interesting to read. I didn't go to Cozumel last time, but I remember reading some negative reports in the forum back in 2011 regarding the shore activities and shopping/sight seeing/local vendors etc. I wonder how it'll be this time. Just trying to think back to the cruis...

Heya all Damn, this wish list chat is going full speed ahead. Good to see. I wonder on Dallas's stat list, what's below 8? I guess some bands will rise up and reach a 9 or a 13 or something. I hope Japan's Sigh is one of these bands. Surprised to see Cthonic reach the teens, not because I'm not a fa...

Let's add one more! Although, I highly doubt Devin Townsend would come onbroad! https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hevydevy.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F08%2Fdtp-logo.png&f=1 I wonder how many bands/artists have rejected offers to join the boat due to the fact that a certain ...

Only 8 for Therion? Just saw them again in Sydney recently. Great show, but a poor turn out. So, I wish to see them with the big crowd again. An enthusiastic pool deck crowd (again). I been lucky to see Therion a few times across the globe and man, the boat and Therion, always a highlight. Even the ...

Oh dear....'cupboard' ? Geez!
I meant 'cardboard' or as the Skipper would say 'cardbroad'.
Shit I'm not funny at all! haha

Sorrento's pizza like a half burnt cupboard! haha

I wonder though, is that out of 70k's control?
Royal Caribbean might need to do something about that. Maybe.
I reckon ya gotta be utterly tanked to enjoy one of their pizzas!
Replace them with Pizza Pizza!

Heya I wasn't on this last cruise in any way shape or form, but, I wanna ask, has the lines for the band merch improved this time around? My last sailing adventure was the 2015 cruise and the lines were already long at 7am! Maybe, official 70000 tons shirts/merch should be included in our tickets, o...

Hold the phone! One more for the Rotting Christ wish list list thingy! https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.midgardsblot.no%2Fimg%2Fpix%2Fartist_2018%2Flogo%2FRotting-Christ-logo-300px.png&f=1 Have not seen RT since 2008 at Kaltenbach and man, am I keen for more RT action!

Speaking of stats! Who said Borknagar was 14 wishes? It's now 15! Or 16! haha https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ultimatemetal.com%2Fforum%2Fstyles%2Fuix_dark%2Fuix_dark%2Fimages%2Flogos%2Flogo-borknagar.png&f=1 I have only seen them once and would love that again.

And I am a bit shocked to see that no one had Grand Magus on their wish list. Unless I missed it.

Not even once, have they sailed with us!
That to me, is nuts!

Grand Magus score: 1

Well the lists are very interesting so far!

I see Triptykon so far has 7 wishes. Make that 8!

Actually, is it way too early to start our wish lists? I dunno. The best thing about us sailing January 7, 2020 is we don't have the entire 365 days to wait now. When we all gotta wait the usual 365 days, this might uh...rot away, I mean Necrot! https://66.media.tumblr.com/efb33aca57c5f039cb41fb4605...

This didn't take long for sailors to start the wish list - list thingy to get moving! Cool. I've missed the last 4 cruises so I am pumped to be coming back for 2020. Wish list still in progress, but I'll start by clearing out my 'Attic'. https://66.media.tumblr.com/76e9a240004c3030b5b98adcf53930b5/t...

Sailors!
We're going back to Cozumel, 2020 (so I hear!)

10 to go!
Who could they be?

Stat Man would be close to guessing!

Speaking of things 10.....round 10, 2020.
I wonder what big names will be on that cruise and where the heck we go!

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?
