Awesome! Sounds like there's going to be quite a few of us at the riptide..

First timers here also... Staying at the riptide on Hollywood beach. Just booked today. About 5-8 miles from airport and cruise terminal it says. I see people staying on Hollywood beach that don't want to go to south beach.

We plan on arriving around The same time. Haven't booked flight yet, waiting on southwest to drop a tad lower. Just booked at the riptide, as I hear chatter of people staying There. We shall see how it goes.

Well, add 2 more. Just booked me and my wife for the riptide!

Me and my wife will probably be staying in Fort Lauderdale or Hollywood beach as we are coming the day before. We would be down to drink,crawl or the party with anyone considering not going down to the main party in Miami.

First timers here, and seeing as how we won't be coming in until the day before the cruise, doesn't make a lot of sense to stay in Miami and deal with the transportation for the sake of one night. Just wondering if anyone else is staying somewhere other than in Miami. I've read a lot of people sugge...

1. The venue filler, but still more or less within the 70K budget/audience limits. Amon Amarth 2. A band probably no one else in this forum listens to. Dargaard- even though they never have and never will tour. 3. A solid Cripper Award contender (if possible, less known than your previous answer). A...

To each their own, but the last few announcements have also been meh for me as well. Just give me Manegarm or battlelore and you can fill the other 20 spots with whatever.

Finally!! Who else is on deck 3?! How is this deck??

When it's time to board the ship is there a line or is it staggered check in like carnival?

This is our first after waiting years to do this cruise. We haven't even got tickets yet due to public sale not starting so I'm wanting to get that out of the way before I book flight and hotel. The Miami party sounds intriguing but dunno if it's worth going down there just the day before.

Southwest is pretty cheap out of hobby to get out there. Haven't booked yet but more than likely Ft Lauderdale. You?

Never seen em live. Never thought I would see them live.. I see a lot of people wishing for battlelore.... Sigh, if only.

Battlelore!!!

Hobby? Me and my wife will also be flying out Wednesday about the same time.

Curious if anyone is flying out from Houston?
