Bring [...] lots of cocain to help you get through all those late night shows

Eric Clapton approves

Just be advised that TSA uses drug dogs (I've seen them at Port Everglades before), and 70K does not post bail.

I seem to remember a late start on the first day last year, which threw my plan out of whack. So I think you're right about not over-planning. Shows start up pretty quickly right after muster drill in the lounge and (as I recall) the Studio B "Ice Rink" stage...I remember having to dash over to see...

Giving status and announcing when they'll announce bands without using the 'S' word, how nice would that be?

My lord, what innovations will these promoters and show-runners come up with next?

Stickers look awesome! We should probably have some way of restricting them just to Forum users at the meet'n'greet...at least at first. We can auction off any remaining stickers to the adoring public with funds going to CherryThorne's alcohol fund. :lol: ... We were like 15, then there was a group ...

This will be my first cruise and I figured it would be helpful if Survivors could let us newbies know a little bit about the rooms and what to bring. For example, are there safes available for valuables? Yep. Is cell reception generally existent at all during the cruise or is it possible to call ho...

New year, new thread. Gotta start thinking about where and when. :headbanger: I got the meet-and-greet hail Satan peel and stick name tags delivered today....

Also remember for late-night that the Windjammer and Johnny Rockets were both open much later than their normal non-70K hours, so don't dismiss that possibility out of hand. I remember being disappointed last year when we found the Windjammer closed between 5 pm and 7 pm (SERIOUSLY?!) but then the ...

I've had the JR stuff... I didn't think it was worth it. I wouldn't say no to another fancy dinner but I stick to the Windjammer, the Café, and occasionally I'll have a Ben & Jerrys. What's your favorite snack from the Cafe? Speaking of the Cafe, I find it odd that it is not shown at the Deck 5 pla...

Most of them. Johnny Rockets is only like, five bucks, and at the ice cream place you pay 3-5 bucks for your fix. Windjammer, The Cafe on the promenade, and Sorrento's are free and casual. The fancy dining room is also free, but dining hours are usually during primetime so it's hard to get served. ...

That last post sent me scurrying around online to see if I could find some recent info about dining on the Indy. I found out that: Johnny Rockets is probably $6.95 or $7.95, and it includes sodas but not milkshakes. There's a lot of variance on this; one ship has a la carte pricing and some now char...

Can fish keep up with the ship? They get a free show? What about a helicopter?

Yipes, I hope not. I like Arsis a lot...but their current guitarist is also my 3rd person in our triple stateroom on the boat! :lol: Taylor is going? If so, nice !! :headbanger: Yep.

Can fish keep up with the ship? They get a free show? I've seen dolphins and flying fish keeping up with cruise ships for up to 30 minutes, so...yeah, I guess they could. :twisted: (You can just go ahead and insert "Go Into the Water" or "Underwater Friends" from Dethklok/Metalocalypse right here. ...

Question for the newbies: do you know where the Schooner Bar is located in the boat? It's not a bad question for experienced Survivors either, since it can get confusing. As we know from 70K, there are 74.6 "bars on board that NEVER close. Yes, you heard right, BARS THAT NEVER CLOSE!" (Except when ...

Going to add Arsis
touring with Ensiferum into Tampa on the 29th and have not played the cruise since the 1st one

Yipes, I hope not.

I'll go with Dec. 20th. Hoping it's somewhat sooner, though.

Happy Thanksgiving, survivors and n00bs. Gobble gobble!

--And for the rest of the world beyond the USA, enjoy your Thursday!

Ehhh, 70k to Progpower is like apples and oranges. When you start out promoting a small regional festival in a bar around the year 2000, it's easier to set that standard of open communication. Conversely, when your first festival is backed by diverse investors and involves booking several headliner...

Twilight Force is much bigger now than they were in 2016. Later that year, they released their second album and the Flight of the Sapphire Dragon video got great views for a newer band. I wouldn't be surprised if they got bumped up to 60-minute sets. Also since 2016 they were booked and performed a...

boots with red laces = nazi... will be punched

There were (are?) other shoelace colors that used to be used by different groups (straight-edge, etc.) , but I can't remember all of them. It's been a long time.

I know its not the safest but i'm flying out the day before the cruise , and should be there in the evening the night before we depart. I can't be gone too long unfortunately, so I am staying at a hotel close to the port for the night before, and the night when we get back with a flight the next mo...

Yeah, I'm probably not coming again after this. I find the late start AND a long period of silence a big slap in the face. And after In Vain and Mors, the only band I'm missing on my bucket list is Soilwork. A North American tour is likely imminent, with their new album release, so I'll be covered....

You misspelled Seventh Wonder in a very strange way.

Don't ruin this for me Bodom

Silent Wonder?
Seventh Civilian?

While I'm kinda expecting Solstafir, I've heard some rumors about Septic Flesh (or is it SepticFlesh, or maybe Septicflesh? ) as well. :headbanger: Septic was on this year =( oh well Crud, I forgot.

Yeah that's right. VERY early on he did respond directly to questions occasionally.

Hasn't done that for a LONG time now though - which is fair enough.

He has forsaken us!

Wait, maybe he's been giving us a deep clue and he's booking that band Forsaken.

Huh, weird. My copy here HAS those bands on it, so maybe I copied and pasted prematurely.

Hopefully fixed.

I figured I'd go ahead and put this list in a separate thread as opposed to it being buried in another one. It's getting really hard to keep track of all these damned bands, but it's a good problem to have. :mrgreen: Sorry about the too-tight formatting...the Forum doesn't seem to allow monospace fo...

I don't know if anyone has asked him if he'll be there or not, but I reckon CHRISTOPHER BOWES won't be on broad with Gloryhammer and they'll be using their fill in. Reason I say this is that ALESTORM are playing Perth, Western Australia on the night of February 6th 2019. To make it from Fort Lauder...

My bet is NeO is the "OMG" band. For how much they've been requested every year and now they are finally on the boat - it makes sense to me. I'm happy with that. Even if they aren't headliner-worthy. I think NeO is one of the best metal acts in the world today. As much as I love NeO, and as much as...

At any other fest you may be right, they are quite underrated. However, for 70k i think they deserve to get more time. The cruise crowd likes them as one can see from their high rank at wishlists. You say that like NeO is getting more than 45 minutes. And they're CONSISTENTLY one of the most reques...

Fairly highly requested.

And I don't need to change my yellow highlights as the next clue is 'S' again.

What's really cool is that, of all the "S" bands showing in yellow, I'd be pretty satisfied with any of them...and really happy over several.

ANSWER! THIS FAST.

All sold out. (Female 4V and Male 2V still left in the single ticket categories)

Hmm, I wonder... Was the final "trigger" a cut-off, like the "no charge for changes" cutoff, or maybe the "after this you have to pay IN FULL" cutoff? I think both are at the end of October.
