I completed my check in, but I noticed that it gives the option to print (which I wish I had a printer, grr) but It said that everyone else in the cabin needs to complete their check in before it can be printed? No! You can print as soon as you finish your part. The others can print theirs later. I...

Bumping for visibility. I had to go back and find this thread to remember how I got past that BS while adding a credit card.

It feels weird replying to my own thread with a different username. I should try getting back into that account sometime.

Glad Striker is on, and I really am liking Witchtrap. Still no crossover, but I'll live. Dalriada is surprising to me. I'd heard of them about 10 years ago and not at all since, now here they are being requested by name and getting booked, lol. I like Cruachan better but might check a set out of cur...

That would be a pretty nice add. I saw the cutesy "Love Boat" graphic.

Can't wait for my check in email!

So far I'm finding Torture Squad and Trimegisto for South American bands, and depressingly Torture Squad is on tour during the cruise. I quite like Trimegisto, what I hear so far is like black metal or death. I really hate the band Tuatha de Danaan, some are asking for them, they are just too twee w...

This year, we will truly be a ship full of Vikings.

Now I need to start figuring out which bands these could even be. I'd love Cripper, but I don't know if they'd be announced in that way since so many cruisers know who they are by now. I do want Cripper, though.

I think that we'll get the check-in emails on Monday. By the way, compared to 2015, I'm impressed we only have 8 announcements left. I did a rough count, 19 left at this point for 2015 and 15 for 2016. This is my least favorite line-up so far (compared to the last two years since I've been going, no...

i dont expect it to happen, but exarsis would be rad

Maybe the "heat" is from Spain, and Angelus Apatrida are next?

Havok isn't happening, or at least the band said so on FB yesterday, in reply to a fan who asked. They said "not this year." Maybe that means something for 2018??? I sadly don't have any predictions, other than the obvious Candlemass. Too many bands have tours starting after the cruise. I ...

Final 10 bands for the years we've had a 60 band lineup . 2016 - Dead Cross, Fallujah, Ghoul, No Raza, Incantation, Arkona, Nervosa, Novembers Doom, Starkill, Diamond Head 2015 - Whiplash, Soulfly, Riot V, Corrosion of Conformity, Adaliah, Dark Sermon, Gurd, Exumer, Helstar, Wintersun To make it ma...

The sightlines in the Pyramid Lounge are actually worse than in the Spectrum. The Spectrum wasn't great, but it did have that nice bar area in the corner with slightly raised seating that was a decent spot to catch a show if the floor was too busy. That is what I was thinking,The Spectrum had a sli...

I agree on Trollfest kicking things off, along with any other bands I don't like in those opening slots, I like a little extra mingling time on that first day. Last year I really tried to see Carach Angren play one of the very first sets, and they were in the tiny club! Way too stressful, it was so...

By the way, why would Tyr cause crybabies? I think they were fairly well received last year. Were you around when the Chimaira announcement was made? Now that was some good, salty tears. I was actually a little bummed that they broke up before the cruise. Edit: Or better yet, Stuck Mojo. Lolwut, An...

I hope it is Tyr ,just to see how many pissing crybabies are on the boat.I bring a spear to go whaling! Don't cut yourself on such a sharp edge there, buddy. And unfortunately they played last year, so they're ineligible to play this year. And as for T, I see a lot of people guessing Triptykon I'd ...

The Crown posted some photos from their rehearsals with a comment saying "see you in 2017", which would indicate that they are doing some shows in the (near?) future. By all means this doesn't point straight towards 70k, but just the fact that that they are getting active gives me some ho...

Add Vektor to the list. This makes me the most sad out of anything. Luckily the band is supposed to go on with new members, but I doubt the spots will be filled and ready to go in a month's time. I know the cruise has a fair number of thrash bands announced, but nothing out of my personal top favor...

I think he is planning to stay in the Miami area for his pre-cruise activities but I don't know for sure. It would be great if he wandered up to the Ft Lauderdale area. Boston area? Hmm - no good beer around there /s Anything from Trillium would be awesome. Downeast Ciderhouse is oood for those who...

I looked at the bands playing so far, and none are currently in my "I'M A HUGE FAN" category. There's Amorphis, but I think everybody knows that Tales from the Thousand Lakes is their best album. Out of their albums with the current singer, Skyforger is my favorite. But a funny thing to me...

Oooh this was fun last year, though like Ville said it was small. Also, of those 40 or something beers, the majority were from Einar. He really, really brought a lot of beer. I live in Boston now, so I can bring something from New England. If someone has a suggestion, I'll listen. I don't know the b...

Yes, I will take this.

Not a Cattle Decapitation fan. Glad others are happy. As for the "N" artist that appears to be next, Nuclear Assault, Napalm Death, Novembers Doom, Necrophobic, Noctem, Naglfar or Ne Obliviscarius would be acceptable to me. I am fully expecting to be disappointed though. I think November'...

I was prepared to hate Misery Loves Co based on the lame logo and the sort of emo-ish band name, but seeing people say it's Industrial and on Earache, I'm giving it a chance. I would have loved this so much in the '90s. I'll have to check out a set.

What about Magrudergrind Andy?!

Crap, forgot about them! I'll take that, too. But it's probably Mors.

So far this year's lineup still pales in comparison to last year's.

heh

Kinda hard to top last year.

I don't like them, and I'm surprised they're being called doom. I only gave half a song a try, though.

Is there any kind of discernible clue for the next one? I'd take Mors Principium Est, but a Melechesh repeat would be great, too. I guess "'M'ore" could definitely be some Mors, though.

Holy shit, an announcement. I really need some more of these to ease this holiday stress.

"Hold your breath" and "A" do seem to point at Asphyx. I'd be down for some of that.

Origin just announced that they'll head to the studio in February and will be making their first appearance of 2017 in 18th of the said mounth. Was really hoping to see them but if they'll add Skinless to the line up it would easily get me pass this.. Jason is a bro among bros and I really like Ori...

Havok just announced a NA tour with Exmortus and Extinction A.D. that starts on 1/8. That would fit right for the tour kicking off on 70000 Tons! Hey, the dates were announced, and they play Chicago on 2/8. So no ship Havok. They do play ONCE (name of the club, not number of times playing!) after t...

I love that they have doom and stoner bands. I don't find many chances to see those kinds of acts. But I have to do either that or Europe this year, gonna wait and see.

Hey anyone remember what time they got to the airport they day we come back? I remember eating breakfast around 8? then walking through security and being to the airport at 11? Anyone have a similar time frame? I had an 11 am flight out of FLL last cruise and remember being there early enough to ge...

They're playing in Finland during the cruise though.

Man, that sucks. Shoulda figured, though. I didn't check their touring schedule.

Either way, some Xmas announcements... nah, not gonna happen!

FINNTROLL have a date scheduled in Spain during the cruise.

That's depressing. I still haven't seen them, and they would be so much fun. :(

If Andy Claus gives us Batushka for Christmas, I would be so happy.

But really, I expect January's gonna be pretty crazy with announcements. We had some really great ones really late in the game last time.

I haven't heard of any, but there is often a "boat bash" concert or something going on. We didn't get one last year, but there was a gig in Miami for the people who went down that way, I believe it was made up of local bands. In 2015, the pre-cruise concert was in Ft. Lauderdale and had so...

I'm thinking about traveling to a festival besides MDF this summer, but yeah, oof, that Hellfest line up. No way. I like Brutal Assault's line-up, but only if money allows. Seriously, though. BA blows everything else out of the water so far. Summer Breeze has their advent calendar up, but so far I'm...

Nice to see it's 60 days now. This year's felt like it breezed past. It'll be fun when the announcements start pouring in last minute, and then there will be more activity here, huh? Demo Hammer's gonna be pretty sick, too.

This has got to be the longest that anyone has ever waited for anything... ever! I mean for Christ sake, we've had a Metallica album in the time since the last announcement and that doesn't happen very often. On the plus side, with only 72 days to go & 21 bands left to announce that's one every...

Never heard of Stuck Mojo but they are supposed to be a more Right -wing rap metal band.Another USA band and if Hillary wins they could play this song about Bill Lyrics to Crooked Figurehead "You lied connived and pressed flesh till 1600 was your address. The chameleon at the podium whose word...
