Lots of fun. I can’t wait for the next one. Where are the band announcements?!

People are going to think that Round X is a disaster but I like this lineup better already than my previous three cruises combined. I’d even be ok with the last 15 being all resurrected 90’s Florida death metal acts. If it doesn’t sell out, more room for me. Ha!

It seems the art department forgot the "I" in witches. Oops

Maybe it’s Seven Watches?

Two announcements in one day? Slow down. We’re not used to this much excitement.

At this point, I’ll be happy if there are still 36 bands onbroad by the time we sail.

I think it's a conundrum. They need to move the remaining cabins to hire the bands but they need to hire the bands to move the remaining cabins. They can hire free bands but that won't move the cabins. So they can either hire headliner bands and risk operating the cruise at a loss or hire free bands...

I haven’t followed the room availability very closely in years past but it feels like there are a lot of rooms left with only 29 days to go. Has it always sold out before?

I’m tired of waiting so...

Band 37 is the off-duty Royal Caribbean staff choir!

No bands for a week now.
Zzzz.......ZZZz.zz............ZZ...........Z....Z>Z.z.z.zz..........ZZzzz

Seven days with no bands makes one weak.

70K posted on Facebook a little while ago "We've got some nice surprises up our sleeves for you... stay tuned!"

The surprise is that we’re going sail with just 36 bands. I kinda like these so there’s no need for any more.

What’s with all this on ‘BOARD’ shit?

Right. There will be no “onboard” onbroad.

yeah this is nuts. and i'm preparing to be letdown with the next announcement

Probably going to be ENYA
It doesn’t get more folkier than that.

I could go for EXODUS but I prefer the Rob Dukes version. They’re a great boat band. They hung out at one of the bars and helped drive up my bar tab. Maybe some
ELECTRIC WIZARD

If Andy reads the crap we spew, get THE WELL onbroad. Amazing band nobody has heard of.

ORANGE GOBLIN

Stäm-Önë-Nä

SAINT VITUS

ORANGE GOBLIN

So are we wearing corsets onbroad or not?

Kansas would rock.

Probably.

Saint Vitus!!!

Fucking SLAYERRRRRRRRrrrrrrr!!!!

Orange Goblin might start to address the doom shortage over the last two cruises.

I might be able to do that if it was on a mainframe. Wish I had kept up with all the newfangled technology.

Probably going to bail. The announcement thing isn’t a big deal for me but I seem to have dollared myself into being broke. I would have been fine booking a couple of months ago but I wasn’t disciplined enough to stay in the black.

Maybe they’re working out how to make the merchandise even more of a painful process.

I think the holdup is that the other members of SLAYER are trying to convince Tom to do this.

It will happen. And there will be at least 20 bands you’ll want to see. We’ll be fine.

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.
