Can we get an announcement date for when we should expect the “four months to go” thread?

We’ll still be predicting the first announcement date in Cozumel.

The first announcement for 2020 will be in 2021.

I’m not going to mess with any merchandise until they clean out the shops selling stuff nobody wants like purses and perfume and replace it with the cruise and band merchandise. I’ve never seen a process work so hard to NOT take my money as the merchandise sales process.

That's interesting about sailing backwards to build the stage. My question would be why does the ship need to go anywhere? Does anybody really care about the destination? Why not just sail out far enough until we no longer can see land, drop anchor, and turn the ship into a 4-day party barge? Save t...

Running out of chances for some DOOM. The Well would be perfect.

Here’s a hint.

Are you ready to board the “s”ailing “v”essel?

Get SAINT VITUS on broad!

Van Canto? I sure hope Orange Goblin or Saint Vitus were unavailable.

“S”aint Vitus. We need some doom.

Bodyfarm is billed as death metal but it sounds more like thrash metal. They’re on my list this cruise.

Not sure WTF a "Bodyfarm" is, but MPE is awesome. I had to miss their recent show here so this is especially sweet...and they're a band that I first saw on 70K. :headbanger: A body farm is a place to study the decay process of human bodies in order to advance forensic science. People donate their c...

Hopefully the next band is me! I mean Bolt Thrower.

Orange Goblin would start to correct the total lack of doom last year and so far this year.

Maybe “D” is Dethclok. Not Brendon Small, but the real Dethclok up on the screen.

Soon? I’ve never heard of that band.

At this point anything short of Dio, Dimebag, Randy Rhodes, Cliff Button, and Lemmy is going to be disappointing.

When they finally announce the first bands, it’s going to be like Randy Marsh when he finally got the internet back:

I just bought a new car too. I’m now something less than 100% likely to go. Not sure how less. For last year’s lineup, I probably wouldn’t now.

My prediction for band announcements is Feb 5. They’re going to theme this one the Trivia Cruise where the cruisers fill out the schedule after the fact with no information given about who is on stage at any time. We’ll rush from stage to stage for four days and make our guess as to which band we ar...

Patriots losing is always epic. Also, the broken femur in the Destruction pit.

More doom and more thrash.

Here's your schedule:

8:00PM Thurssday through 8:00AM Monday: EXODUS on all 4 stages.

I was hoping for Slayer but will definitely take EXODUS!!!

Kataklysm! This makes 3 bands I have a CD from. This is a very obscure lineup. I think I’ll like it though.

I’d rather have a taco than Psychostick onbroad.

How about Slayer kicking off their final world tour on this cruise. And drag along Testament, Anthrax, Lamb Of God and Behemoth.

I’m tired of waiting so I’m making my own announcement. Band #46 is none other than...

DR. TEETH and THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM!!!

Ok. But my boat is half-finished.

Nothing since November 16? I could have built my own boat AND learned to play guitar in that amount of time! What gives?!

Where’s our band update?!

Iron Maiden!!! I know, never gonna happen.

Sirenia? At least it’s not Taylor Swift. Barely.

How about Emperor next?

Hoping for Shrinebuilder. Did I mention the lack of psychedelic doom?

Hoping for Acid Witch. There is a huge hole in the psychedelic doom.

Could the best holiday “e”ver be Helloween? Maybe the “e” implies swapping out the “a.”

I see a break in their tour dates from Dec 15 to Mar 18.

What bands can be ruled out? Apparently all of them except for the 21.

Reveille at 5:00am followed by calisthenics at 5:15.

Freeze the lineup at the current 21 bands so we can stop anticipating.

Instead of selling band-specific shirts, sell white shirts and magic markers. Everyone can draw their own. Maybe have a contest for the best shirt.

Belly Flop Into The Ocean contest.
