This actually JUST happened with the Independence, within the last few days, according to posts on CruiseCritic. Existing reservations were cancelled with an option to rebook similar cruises, with a cruise credit. Sucks to have already booked nonrefundable travel, though. Yep. I almost never book a...

OUT? - Because they cost too much
Queensryche

They are much more likely to be out due to doing MORC than because of their cost. They are regulars on On The Blue cruises.

My speculation from the megathread is that Independence doesn't have bookable cruises Jan 14 - Feb 4 (according to this ), so the cruise would fall in that date range. Someone pointed out that some previous 70k cruises have been inadvertently listed for public booking, so I'll toss out a more fun s...

For me, it was my daughter saying that she was going to have to get to a Bloodbound show early because she needed to be at the barricade because she didn't enjoy shows from in the seats as much.

Yea I'll do this next year. I really was exploring the ship, plus my wife and I ran into an old friend that used to live in Milwaukee, so I don't think I would've been able to make it anyway this year. I wonder if I ran into any of you people, I didn't really talk to many strangers. You missed at l...

My vote went to Without Waves. Quite impressed with these guys. Managed to watch their Star Lounge set

Same here.

with all the issues this time around , I think I almost feel an indifference that the cruise is sold out a week before departing ! :| Yep. "Sold out." I have a feeling they'll have a lot of extra rooms to use as emergency backup beer storage this year. :twisted: Yeah, I suspect that this is a "Sold...

I don't think I've been to the Viking Crown on this ship. Wandered up once on the Liberty. It was a nice lounge on the Majesty. Let's see if I actually make it this time.

MORC held their karaoke in the Viking Crown when they were on RC ships. Never been to the Indy's.

Without Waves might be the only eligible one?

Just sent in my ticket requests for a couple shows of tour packages that have gaps that would fit the boat.

I was thinking the same things said in the last few posts. MEGACRUISE also had extra cabins, they gave them away, because they **already** had the bands (how could they do that? Magic!) 70K gave away several of them in the press in Europe (Germany and Spain), but not enough. So now they’re probably...

I'm on the fence about doing this for a few reasons. It's my first time, so I wanna explore everything. and the other is I know my wife doesn't give a shit about you people, and won't want to waste time doing this, lol. Pretty sure my wife and daughter won't care about it either, but I figure why n...

While I would love to see Goatwhore, we're staying in Hollywood Beach and probably won't make this. But we can see them locally pretty often.

I'm in for 3pm in VC. I'll just bring up a bucket of beer from the Schooner.

Can't believe i have a month between shows.

Just added a show with Cattle Decapitation and some other bands at The Parish at House of Blues NO on the Monday before Slayer.

I didn't do it last year (even though I was literally in the Schooner) because I was a n00b. Viking Crown would be OK for me. I'm bringing two n00bs with me (my new wife and my daughter). Both new to 70K although experienced hands with metal and cruises (MORC and countless metal shows each).

Partially agree. Over in Europe they managed to fill the largest indoor halls. The Westfalenhalle in Dortmund holds around 16.000 people. So, Judas Priest might not have the largest pull factor in the US, in Europe they still are headliner material who can fill the same venues as the likes of Manow...

This is not the Judas Priest of 1983. Judas Priest of today is a much smaller draw as a headliner. Still big enough to be the headliner of a Wacken Open Air 2020, which is by no means a small festival. ;) Festivals are a bit of a different story. I'm just saying that Priest as a touring headliner i...

Come on now ,anybody can guess some bands like Emperor or ones that been on the cruise but Judas Priest.No way at all ,they could do their own boat and this is way too late.They would not piss off their fans and do the cruise on 2 plus months notice,and they would need to biggest stage ever. This i...

Hard to compare, but yeah considering we are almost 24 hours into public sales, there are a lot more categories available this time around. UMC and Andy really need to bust out some BIG bands before the payment-plan cutoff, to encourage newbies to book. I have a giant prediction and it comes from t...

I have no problem with band members getting bumped in before cruisers. That's what most people want to see while they are there I think. We went the first night for a while and it was annoying. Went again during the gong show thing and it was better. I just don't get the turning down the music cons...

-The Karaoke guys were terrible. I guess it's part of an act, but they were beyond annoying after a little while. Yelling at each other and turning down the music and screaming "fuck you" and "alright" every minute sucked. I think they wanted it to be about them instead of people trying to sing. I ...

Pellaz, you have experience with cruise prices: is Megacruise much more expensive than 70K, or in the same ballpark? Slightly more expensive, but an extra day. That being said, a LOT less bands. Less bands and it won't be a marathon like 70K, I might actually get proper sleep on MegaCruise. Megacru...

Australian dollar has risen a cent against the US in the last 24 hours! (That makes a $3,000 cabin $100 cheaper - that's like 3-4 shirts or a bunch of beers!!!)

I hear RUSTED SOUL are a chance. Can someobody explain what that "shit-storm" was all about? I hate reading drama like that and it just brings me down seeing in-fighting amongst our 70K family. My simpleton take on it was Rusted Soul asked how to get invited to be on the boat, Kim Dylla replied and...
