Burning Witches announced they are on the Horns Up Metal Cruise in Nov 3/4, 2023. They sail from Oslo to Copenhagen and back. Don't know if this means that rules them out for 70K in Jan. https://www.metalcruise.no
I thought it was open also back in the old days, 2015ish. But for sure it has not been open the last few times. The fancy dinner never works for me time-wise, right smack in the middle of prime partying time. A big fancy steak dinner on top of alcohol puts me right to sleep afters, LOL If they do ha...
... Plenty of seating, plenty of covered areas, areas in front of the stages are fully paved so no tromping around in mud if it rains (and the only negative is it HAS rained a tiny bit). Great range of food and alcohol, can drink in front of the stages - no 'fenced off' alcohol zone (only a fenced ...
... My credit card has complimentary travel insurance as long as you book a certain amount of your travel costs using the card. SUPER handy, and doesn't cost any extra. Oh, that's nice Dallas. I usually pay about $100 USD for my travel insurance. The hospital in Jamaica made me sign a promissory no...
The real worry for us international travellers is - what happens if we get covid in transit? Pre-cruise? Post-cruise? etc. Quarantine and miss boarding, quarantine on board and miss everything, quarantine before coming home etc. ... Even more important to get that travel insurance. 2016, when I was...
... Russkaja is actually an Austrian band so at least that shouldn't be an issue. I did not know this, good to know, and good for Russkaja. Russkaja make a statement on their FB page against the war, very brave I thought. Grai also, but Arkona has gone dark. I don't blame Arkona. Being in a country...
I have several bands from Russia and Ukraine that I absolutely adore and love, Arkona, Grai, Russkaja, IGNEA, and Jinjer. There shouldn't be any condemnation of the bands. Any of that needs to go directly to Putin and not the Russian people or our Russian metal brothers and sisters. But we should be...

Somebody posted on the FB 70K 2022 group about taking naps between sets. Which got me to thinking why I really hate taking naps during the festival so I can stay up until 0500 AM to catch that can't-miss-set. Proposal: Extend the cruise an extra day. Do away with 0100 AM - 0500 AM sets and push them...
After 10 years, what band do you wish had played the boat, but still can’t understand why they never did? For me it’s unquestionably SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, it feels like they played every other music cruise but this one. They played MegaCruise and it was the funnest pool deck show I've ever witnessed...
So I was waiting until the end of February because surely we would have a date by then and no.... :lol: So I go with September 11 2020 ,just because Andy has already jumped the shark so hard the date wouldn’t even be ironic at this point. Forget guessing the first band announcement. Instead guess t...
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 Haha! When I got up there I saw a crowd of all these people I didn't know and wondered if I had gone to the correct s...
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.
...One thing I would like to add, why to do the last night's karaoke on deck 11?... I'm the same way about the last night karaoke at the Solarium on deck 11. It's a cramped area and hard to see there plus it's top-side. I much prefer the Karaoke at the Playmakers Sports Bar on deck 4. Not too impre...
NEGATIVES > dates early in January did not work for Aussies at all. Peak holiday period made flights way too expensive 1. February is much better for me. That first back-to-work week of January I didn’t care for, too expensive and too crowded with all the returning holiday travellers. > Pool deck st...

... Viking Crown sure beats standing in the sun on the ass-end of the ship. Plus the sky-bar is right below, right? Does anyone remember if that is open before the muster-drill? My bad, Viking Crown in aft-mid ship deck 14. The closest bar that is probably open that I can tell is hop on the elevato...
I received a phone call from the 70K Customer Service team. They confirmed we can use the Viking Crown as a meeting place, but the bar will not be open due to the muster drill, unfortunately. So, Viking Crown 3:00pm? Group photo at 3:30pm? Awesome cegr80! U-da-get-things-done-man. Thank you for set...
Not all hotels offer a shuttle service from the airport or to port. My first experience with this was in 2016 and the pre-party was at Ocean Manor Hotel. That was before Uber was popular and I had sticker shock getting from the airport to the hotel. Riptide doesn't offer any kind of shuttle service.
is there a free shuttle from FLL? I thought i read that somewhere. The hotel I'm at has a shuttle to/from the airport so I was thinking of just taking that to the airport then the airport shuttle to the port Ramada Airport/Cruise Port motel has a shuttle like that. Picked me up at the airport, back...
Here is the post that Dorothy made on Facebook about transportation to/from the hotels and port and the parties. Best part for me is if enough people sign up we could have buses going from Riptide to port. I booked a ride to port for $15 from Riptide. Heavy Metal Beach Party Book your bus to the POR...
Sorry to hear this. Sending my condolenses. I did not know her. But so many on the boat did from reading the Facebook posts. When was she on the boat last?
I love the Viking Crown, the bar 'can' be open if Royal Caribbean knows people will be up there expecting drinks. I think Andy (or someone on Andy's staff) would need to request that. Does anyone want to reach out to UMC to see if they can request the bar in Viking Crown be staffed? ^^^^ This needs...
Deck 6 starboard balcony above Sorrento's, won't need to use the elevators, woohoo! Dangerously close to Sorrento's. TOO close. It's been nice knowing you. :lol: :lol: Haha! I did good last year, didn't eat anything at Sorrento's. I learned my lesson from previous cruises. The buffet was open late ...

...All I know is that she was requesting cash payment for them stickers due to "too many people offering drinks"
She got so wasted on those drinks she missed the muster drill, passed out in her cabin, haha!
So I got my booking request for my girlfriend and my room, but I panicked a little and booked a room for a few hundred more a person because the cheaper option room I was going for were showing up sold out. They have now reappeared but I can't double request since my survivor code has already been ...
Any other Gold's still waiting for their confirmation e-mails from Tuesday? I got the "Booking Request" e-mail, but haven't seen the confirmation/payment e-maily yet. Wondering if I should be concerned. Mine came in late last evening. If ya haven't seen it by COB today I'd call/email them...
I am a HUGE Megadeth fan 1 :shred: Was Dave Mustaine well enough to perform ? How is he doing ? Unfortunately Dave was not able to attend due to his medical issues at this time, plus the band did not perform as Megadeth. Dave's daughter attended the pre-parties and the cruise. She addressed the gue...
This is something I’ve never seen on 70K and hope someday we might have these. They were very interesting and gave insights into the bands and the artists that you can’t find anywhere else. The format was each band would take questions from the audience. A DJ or MC personality would moderate and kee...

Stay tuned for all the news coming next week.
"coming next week"
I knew it. Right when I'm smack in the middle of MegaCruise. Now I have to get that expensive boat Wifi just so I can keep hitting refresh on the 70K news.
