Here is a somewhat sobering statistic. It is almost 20 WEEKS since we last had a band announced

I hereby announce Revamp.

Not a fan, but hey, many will like it, right?

by **cowboy71** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 6:26 pm

I'll see your REVAMP, and raise you an AMARANTHE.

by **mooyagi** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 7:15 pm

Still just under 5 hours left Vancouver time to make that first destination announcement. Tick tock.

Very true. Im just impatient

by **scyll** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 7:48 pm

Come on guys, there might just be 3-4 destinations, starting wednesday or thursday, it'll come. The clock is ticking, Andy knows it, we all know it, no worries!

The last months I`ve learned many interpretations of the word soon... I hope I`m not about to find many more of "next week"

Do you want to take a trip back in time to where it all began and re-visit the destination of the very first 70000TONS OF METAL in 2011? You can find more information on our Frist Destination Candidate for 2014: COZUMEL, Mexico here: http://www.70000tons.com/destination_cozumel.php

by **DragonLordJones** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:08 pm

I knew this would be one of the choices ... not one of mine, but still on the voting list ............. can we get a band specific vote; ie if we vote Cozumel Thor will be on broad, if we vote location B , Satan will be on broad and so forth ............ that could change peoples minds on where they would vote. and make it more fun

by **Lala** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:12 pm

Cozumel? No thanks. one time is enuff.....

I read through a lot of these posts. It seems we got a little side tracked. From what I can gather
it seems Turks was the top choice, so far, for a destination.

Turks and Caicos isn't an option anymore. (See my post from two weeks ago)

There are three ships at the same time some days, but only two so far 29.01.

by **DragonLordJones** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:46 pm

I think Cancun would be a slightly better choice ... over Cozumel

by **Ingrid** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 12:27 am

Mexicooooo!!! I know what I'll be voting!

by **onenight** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 12:33 am

Been there, done that. Although the beer was really cheap.

That's one advantage with being from Norway, beer is really cheap everywhere else.

by **cowboy71** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 1:36 am

I would probably just stay on the boat if Cozumel were the winner

me too

by **Captain Alex** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 5:48 am

Well .. I'm not voting for Cozumel (or any Mexico's destination) as I can go any season of the year

by **nekrobarr** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 6:10 am

Yup, let's see what else is coming...

First*

Cozumel wasn't too bad. I had a lot of fun just by the ship. It's kind of dumpy and people were slightly annoying trying to sell stuff (though not anywhere close to the level they were in Nassau) but it's decent. It's too much work to get to the mainland too. I'd love to do an excursion to Tulum but it sounded like it's a pain in the ass to pull off. Most likely won't get my vote.

Not really a pain actually. You just sign up on the ship and then meet with your group when you get off at the port. But yeah, I think this one's gonna be a pass.

I mean in terms of having to wakeup really early, take the ferry across and then I think find buses to actually get there. Then do the same to get back to the ship. Didn't somebody (Jeffie, maybe?) cut it close with his return trip from there?

I didn't hear anything about that. There were hundreds of people go from our ship there that year. That would suck if you were there too long, but I assume it's a pretty streamlined trip there and back. I can see the waking up early being an issue though

by **taketheday** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 7:37 am

Well, even if I can't be sure to go off the ship and that I wasn't there when you went to Cozumel, I heard that you had to use a smaller boat to go to the port - am I right? -, so, if it's there we go, I will definitely stay on the ship

Nope. The ship parks right at the port in Cozumel. Georgetown, Grand Cayman was the destination that required the use of a smaller boat to get off.

Ah ok, thanks

I confused the port

by **viathyn** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 8:12 am

Cozumel was kinda cool because Tomislav and I just walked up the coast until we found a sweet bar that served $1 Dos Equis Amber, and sat there for a couple hours. It was chill.

That one is a big hell no for me.
I did not like cozasmell

by **torpedo20** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 8:26 am

I'll pass. Next!

by **X-Thor** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 9:49 am

I want to go to a foreign country, not back to mine.

Anywhere outside the US and Mexico is foreign.

Are you part murican?

by **DJ Old Man Stares** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 11:45 am

I'm probably not going to vote for Cozumel. Out of the previous destinations I'm probably going to go with Grand Turk, but no matter where we go, I will probably be happy.
