Woah BG and Threshold already? Too bad its not gonna happen for me next year when the bands seem way more interesting already.

I don't care too much about the ppl taking pics at the front there. If they cause problems its pretty much the organizers fault and on most festivals it works just fine. Didn't really pay attention to what happened at that section on the previous cruise. So guess it wasnt that big of an issue. On th...

I'm curious about an increase in the number of bands leading to an increase of complaints...how many people that go to bigger festivals in Europe (say Wacken or Hellfest) complain about the number of bands vs number of days and not being able to see everyone? And with a larger ship there would like...

PS: I need to work on my people skills. Third cruise and I still haven't met any forumites (except Shoreslayer on the first cruise) Same thing here. Think i talked more than few sentences with maybe few people during whole cruise. It would be especially smart to go talk to a cool looking chick you ...

I'm pretty certain I'm out already due monetary reasons. Tho most likely I would find a new experience if i had money as it wasn't THAT good. Bands were decent at the end but there is only so much you can enjoy at cruise sober. Especially after u've done something like Sweden rock - drunk 24/7 ( too...

Keepers are awesome, amazing, fantastic albums... I still like Deris-era songs better, in general. Where the Rain Grows, Power, Hey Lord!, Lavdate Dominvm, Sole Survivor, Secret Alibi, Forever And One (Neverland) are all masterpieces, right up there with Eagle Fly Free, Dr. Stein, I Want Out or Fut...

But the keeper albums were good, so there! They still are as fresh as ever. Nor will they be dropped from the peak of Power Metal Mountain. Few albums have gotten there after that but those 2 are still too good. 88' would have been quite a ride seeing them live with Iron Maiden, even tho Bruce was ...

Where do you get that Iced Earth is power metal? For me, IE is pure heavy metal. If you want power metal you have Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Blind Guardian... I agree, Iced Earth are epic heavy/thrash metal. Power metal = Angra, Rhapsody, Stratovarius, Hammerfall....etc....like you say. There is big...

2011 2012 2013 2014 Power 6 6 6 3 Hard Rock/Heavy Metal 4 3 8 3 so hopefully 3 more powermetal and 3 more heavy metal bands....that would be great I don't really see 3 PM bands around. The few bits that i've heard from Haggard or Rising Storm aren't really power metal. Xandria seems to be more towa...

I'd be happy with all the rest being girlie bands.

Or just book some sluts, strippers and escorts instead. Not too many solid girlie bands out there and even less that would be available for the cruise.

Hahaa now we are talking. Bonfire, Cynic and DTA plus full Fire Works - awesome. Double setters all 3 i'd say. Cynic - what is that? What has this music got to do with metal? hurts my ears...... Focus was and is pretty ground breaking metal record on the progressive side with all the Jazzy elements....

H.E.A.T is fucking awesome and even better live band. Would rock rest over the board!

Ocean Reef 20-27th of Jan and 31st-3rd at Mercury with bunch of peeps.

Holy Smoke Batman, that looks fantastic. And Cynic is also one of my favs!

Hope there is proper gym at the boat so i got something to do there. If these announcements keep coming i got the 3 sets i need to see and few i could potentially check if im bored. There is but, what are you hoping for? I think the lineup has pretty good variety and quality so far. Variety couldy ...

We're arriving already the previous Monday and leaving 3rd of Feb.

Key West, Florida-Avalanche, Super Bowl at a sports bar are on our to-do-list so far. Plus ofc Training at SoBe. Kennedy space Center and Everglades maybe. Any other cool shit to check out?

To quote Nathan Fillion from Slither, my easy-going nature is gettin' sorely fuckin' tested! A 'huge' band, for the incredibly optimistic, is not completely out of the question I guess. We've always known this would be the last 70k on Majesty - so maybe Andy has had someone big booked from day 1? A...

Woah such an Eerie day. I suddenly felt urge to blast some Death earlier today and listened everything from Spiritual 'till the end. Somehow i had managed to forgot it was 13th ( I'll blame it on unemployment and not giving fucks about days ) of Dec. And this topic too on top of that. And while gett...

I don't think it would be any kinda surprise to see heavier line-up this year. There is 80s metal cruise and a prog cruise too early next year. I don't know whats the whole weenie -genre ( i suppose something melodic with clean vocals ) but I don't really care about the genre as long as the band is ...

Symphony x - The Divine Wings of Tragedy

case, closed. I wouldn't mind rest bands not playing if they played that.

Manowar is biiiit too steep.

That new stuff is great also! Like the 1st album. Some of the better stuff that has come out last years.

KD is totally fucking awesome and so is Mercyful Fate.

Great horror lyrics, unique vocals, good live show, melody/riffing/emotion/etc all present in the songs. 99.999999% of bands wish they could create something like Abigail, let alone the whole streak from Oath to Eye.

That's for triple or quads. There's a legend on the page it was drawn from.

Cheers! I need my Quad Cross Upside Down!

What are those * and ┼ symbols after some cabin numbers?

Deck 6 (66) ofc!

Victory is nice!

Is from the 1st album. Also the last one wasn't bad from 2011.

Yeah its solid fun and Over the Top with the turned trucker hat. I dig mainly prog bands from Poland tho in which they ( polish ) seem to excel.

I'll check Mother North and then go slit my wrists wearing penguin make-up.

Not my fav. BM band by far but maybe I'll check quarter set or something.

The real question is: "WHERE THE FUCK IS ALL HEAVY METAL???"

Book Warlord or Virgin Steele and I'm happy with bands.

I'd take that interview with a grain of salt, since each story has two sides. I bet if you asked Andy, he'd tell a totally different thing and the truth would have been somewhere in the middle. I know everyone is pissed at Andy for the lack of communication but that has been the same since the firs...

Come on, like there is any other answer they could/would give no matter what. Especially when its some CS person answering who has probably non to say in management biz.

Just noticed that the Geoff Tai(n)t version of Queensryche are playing Orlando on the 14th of January. That would be the ultimate insult if we got subjected to them on the cruise Wasn't the QR Court thing postponed to January 2014? Not sure at what point of month it began tho.

Iron Maidens are playing the MOR cruise March 29th-April 2nd, 2014. Miami-Monster Island-Nassau. Hair metal cruise with Doro, Dio Disciples and fucking LOUDNESS !!!!!!!!!!! Full bands been announced for months and the cruise is almost sold out. I wonder who runs that cruise ? Def. a professional Wo...

That is only 50% of the bands I cared of the current line up.

Wednesday afternoon strippers ftw

Been there done that! Tho not sure which week day it was but it was 10 AM. And when we were leaving the guy at door tried to sell us the ladies ofc. Happened in Estonia.

Stained Class wrote:People at prog power were making fun of us because PPUSA announces the entire lineup a year ahead of time and 70k is...well yeah haha.

Yeh well when you announce "The Streets", "Remedy Lane" & "Mercy Falls" you can make fun of most of other festival line ups.

I'll give it few more days then its time to Cancel. I already missed Firefest with sick line-up due this ( Gladly would do it if the shit worked here ). Best flights are already gone and they do not have return policies in those cheaper tickets me thinks. 2½ weeks in Miami if the cruise ain't happen...

Its kinda unbelievable stuff from em tbh. I Mailed UMC 4th of Sept to ask whats up. Got answer pretty fast: Hi Mikko, Thank you for writing to us! We understand your concern, more band announcements and details on the location voting will be up on our website very soon. Hang in there! If you have an...
