Re: What I REALLY would like to see.
Yes, yes, yes... we all know all the huge bands. We may like them (Rhapsody), or dislike them (Goatwhore), but they are sorta known. What I really would like 70k to do is to help promote and give exposure to some smaller USA bands. Be it Death Metal (Khazaadum), or be it Doom metal (Beast Maker), o... -

Re: 70K 2018 Rumours and Predictions Thread
It will be interesting to see how much effect Irma has on 70k plans. My impression after 3 cruises is that RC maintains a lot of the port infrastructure that the boat docks at. I could be totally wrong but I'd imagine that even if the port takes heavy damage, it will probably be rebuilt much faster...
