We had a nice turnout this year at the Viking Crown. I believe some people from the Discord gaming chat community also joined us, hence the increased number of unknown people around Maybe next year have the Discord people assemble on the port side and the Forum people assemble on the starboard side...

This Coronavirus thing is reaching "pandemic" levels. Wonder how that will impact 70K 2021? Already hitting us Aussies - the Australian Dollar hit an 11 year low, thanks mainly to the coronavirus (Australia is a big exporter to China, so bad things in china means bad things for our economy too). Ye...

Website still down.

Hot-tub water got into the web-server. I'm sure it will be fixed #soooooon.

We are all basically Jon Snow in this matter. We Know Nothing. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll all know the line-up plus the sail date sometime before we sail. But this trend is annoying as F! Yep. Some of my friends are already bailing on 70K to go to Psycho Las Vegas...and frankly, I can't blame them...

Last show: Blue Oyster Cult (special extended 2:15 show since co-headliner UFO had to cancel)
Next show: possibly Devy, but it's on a Friday night.

So the drip-feed of information continues.

With this latest announcement we know that yes 70K will definitely sail in 2021, and the destination is Jamaica, and the origin is FLORIDA.

Lol, I wasn't expecting a sailing from Galveston or New Orleans....

Rock Legends cruise is on Independence of the Seas 2/18/21 to 2/22/21 . And we know 70K won't be on the sailing between MORC and Rock Legends, too. So, if it's on the Indy, it has to be early January (and Royal will have to back out any existing bookings for that sailing), or a completely different...

Last show: boat
Next show: Blue Oyster Cult

lol, #soon -- that's brilliant trolling. Also, it is interesting that they are sailing out of Miami too. I thought 70K had to move to FLL from Miami, because Miami port wasn't big enough for the bigger ships? But Carnival Magic is about the same size as Indy. I think the Magic is a bit smaller. Didn...

January 18-23, 2021 onboard the Carnival Magic. Really curious to see how they work the pool-deck stage. I was on the Magic in October, and I don't think there's enough "flat" room. It IS probably a smaller stage than 70K's, though. Shitrocked announced this today. Maximum points for trolling the F...

This: https://www.bargetohell.com/artists.htm Dump all the folk, power and corset metal and bring back The Barge to Hell with Death/Black/Extreme metal. Go with a smaller ship so it sells out. That would be something I could get excited about. Just look at the lineup they had, it was spectacular. W...

I'm not familiar with Norwegian's big ships and their layouts, but if Royal actually let THIS charter slip off their hook, they are fools indeed. The problem is Andy has a single cruise operation. A lot of these other music cruises are put on by companies that host multiple charter cruises througho...

I have a feeling the dates have not been announced yet because it will be sailing later in the year. Makes no sense not to announce the date if it is January 7. Per the Royal Caribbean site... "Charter pricing will generally be most attractive in non-peak season such as September, October, early De...

Since Nevermore played the first 70k edition, would be nice to have a Warrel Dane Tribute event, maybe with Jeff Loomis, dont know I would love to have Loomis on board again. Hopefully without his current band, even if you don't buy in to the negativity surrounding it, others do and I personally do...

I wonder sometimes whether an auction or a raffle (say, $10 per chance) is the best way to handle a fundraiser like this.
Looks like it's doing well, though.

The most metal moment for me was Devin at both sets. Goddamn, that was heavy as fuck! HevyDevy broght it Even more metal than THAT: Devy reconsidered his earlier decision not to come on 70K and finally DID come onboard -- and did it just for his expenses, not for extra money -- because, he told us,...

Appreciate the detailed answer mbob! Your logic is solid. I agree that it would be a logistical NIGHTMARE to go from one music cruise docking in the morning to another one loading that same day. I can't imagine there'd be enough space on the pier for the outgoing charter's equipment to be offloaded...

I like what I've heard from Lorna Shore as well. Similar to Abigail Williams, I don't think the band-name does them too many favors either.

Statsman, please add them to my list.

I was happy that Sorrento had a new pizza and not only the 2 same ones for few years. When I dropped by that one (1) time, they only had cheese and pepperoni available. What was the new pizza? One thing I would like to add, why to do the last night's karaoke on deck 11? In general I never miss it, ...

A 20th anniversary Empiricism set from Borknagar would make me consider going again. Seeing as it's one of my favorite albums from them, I'd probably consider going again for that, too.* -- * well, I'd probably come again regardless, but maybe Andy doesn't read tiny footnotes like this. :D

It's a shame "cruises to nowhere" are no longer allowed by law. With an extra day for performances they could have more reasonable start and end times for all sets, say starting at noon and ending at 3 am. I never knew that! What a strange law. "foreign flagged ships cannot operate roundtrip voyage...

WHEN are we gonna go to Coco Cay?????? https://www.royalcaribbean.com/content/dam/royal/resources/pdf/perfect-day-at-cococay-wayfinding-map.pdf Having a boatload of metalheads run amok there would be EPIC! I'm frankly surprised we didn't go there this year, and aren't going there in 2021. Seems lik...

Hmm, here's a criticism: I thought I'd finished the survey, and then it asked for my access code again, and I was back at the beginning again.

Seems like this has been a problem in the past, too.

Last show: Mortiis/T.O.M.B. past Friday I'd love to see Mortiis again. I was at his first-ever solo show in the U.S., which (due to travel issues) ended up being here in Atlanta, oddly enough. . Next show: The 69 Eyes on Thursday Another show I can't make, but would like to. Really nice guys. Last ...

It is sorta funny when you tell people you went on a cruise and their first questions is "Ooooh, where did you go?" and my answer is typically "Uhhhhh, I don't remember". They can't wrap their heads around that at all. :lol: For me it's "Oooh, where did you go?" "Cozumel." "Huh? Just ONE port?!" "Y...

A few that i'd like to see: Amon Amarth: With Oden on Our Side 's 15 years or Surtur Rising 's 10 years Therion 20 years of Secret of the Runes or 25 years of Theli (one of, if not THE, first metal album i bought so that would be pretty special !) Amorphis: 25 years of Elegy (see my comment above r...

I didn’t know there was an issue with Royal Caribbean. There are no known issues...but there are few known facts either, so speculation is rampant. Could it be on the Independence the normal super bowl weekend...sure it could. Could it be on Carnival in December of 2021. We'll the only known facts ...

Whew, this thread devolved into chaos in a big, fat, fucking hurry. The one issue everyone agrees on is the announcement process and overall communication needs major fixing. Even now, we don't have any sail date (which is HIGHLY unusual), we don't know when we will get a sail date, we have no idea ...

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! I love the fact that it's a really laid-back place, with immediately accessible b...

Congrats to the winners! Now, who gets to go tell Masacre to bring back the jacket, and for the two winners this year, do they get left-side right-side, or do we divide it front and back? :lol: I say they fight to death for it. There can only be one. It doesn't get any more Metal than that. "No! To...

Note that I just put down some guidelines on the first post but I'll share them here. Nothing major - everyone by and large follows these guidelines already which is great :D Some rules/guidelines if you will :-) 1 - Keep your wishlist formatted to a band a line. It's easier for me to work with tha...

there is one important detail that Kiss Kruise has changed from past years that I am not thrilled with . KISS will still do 2 shows during the cruise , that you can attend. but show 1 is acoustic set pool deck, show 2 is electric set pool deck. past years they did 2 reserved seated shows in the the...
