So yeah, for me at least that is the most annoying thing.

Call me crazy but I'd be into that. I mean, I've been wanting to go to this thing since the first year, and it has always been 40 bands, so if we say we're still missing 24 bands, maybe he can announce 4 fillers in the next couple of weeks to round it up to the same ammount of bands as previous year, and then for the other 20 just have them set up mistery shows that are announced each morning. Granted, to pull it off they would have to be fairly well known bands at the very least, from different genres that people are more familiar with and who don't mind not being announced in advance because they'll sell merch onbroad for the signing sessions.
Either way it doesn't seem like we're gonna get any news for now. If Andy wanted to give regular announcements that's what we would've gotten.
As for the theories that they don't have enough bands and whatnot... would it have made ANY sense to move up to a bigger ship if they didn't already have at least over half the bands they would need to fill it? I mean, they could've just kept doing the Majesty of the Seas and nobody would be complaining about having 38 announcements by the end of December, so why take the risk unless it's no risk at all?

From the ticket contract:
"The parties agree that the consideration for the entertainment portion of the Cruise including performance by all musicians on board during the Cruise shall be the sum of USD 200.00."
So even if all bands cancelled, we'd get only $200 back.
So if there's 59 bands we get 200 back? Am I reading that correctly?

UMC didn't CHOOSE to move from the Majesty - they had NO CHOICE. They had to move ship because Royal Caribbean were planning to decommission The Majesty of the Seas.
That fell through in the end, but by that time it was too late, contracts had been signed etc, so 70K couldn't move BACK to Majesty.

Makes me suspect this is the best we can hope for. I mean no offense to those artists already booked, but I was under the impression that we were waiting for some big name announcements, not 20 bands most have never heard of.
But maybe I'm just being paranoid? After this announcement I'm less sure that I spent my money wisely :(
