In all seriousness though, when posted on facebook they used the tag #SuperMetalSunday

Do you think that means this Sunday is going to be a big day of initial announcements?

Or is it merely referring to the fact once again that the Superbowl will be the Sunday we are on broad?

I love the fact they went though the trouble of photoshopping the name of the ship out.So either we get more clues each time a new post such ac "you can depend of 70,000 Tons for all you Metal needs" or "You gonna need your Depends once you see the bands we have lined up this year cause you are going to poop in your pants "!Or to make it worse a reveal a new letter of the ship each day with "Indenpence of the Seas" giving them 22 more days of stalling (Yes they will announce the blank spaces)

Independence of the Seas is actually 24 characters with spaces

even worse.

If it's on Sunday, does that mean Pellaz wins the guessing game again?

Pellaz is on his third attempt at guessing. I still have not been eliminated from the first round of guessing (Feb 3, 2016). Price is Right rules say I already won.

FYI, prices have changed quite a bit. Seems that quads or higher have mainly either stayed the same, or decreased in price.
Most of the doubles have increased in price significantly.

Also taxes etc have increased $15 per person.
Last year's prices:

Most significant changes I can see - Royal Family suite quad is $500 per person cheaper, large ocean view F double is $200 per person more expensive. Also noticed the cabin we had this year, Prom PR, is $167 more expensive!

Also karaoke has moved :)

THE LABYRINTH
This two-story Gothic nightclub with a bar on each of its two levels is the place to be. Make your way over here for 70000TONS OF KARAOKE (first 3 nights only). This is also one of the areas for Artist Meet and Greets.

SOOOOOON!!!

by **Jotunheimr** » Thu Jun 04, 2015 9:59 pm

I predict that booking will start on June 15. The website says that full payments are due by October 15, and that we have the option to pay in 4 monthly installments just like in previous years. This means the first payment would be due by July 15, the second on August 15, and so on.

by **taketheday** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 12:31 am

Well, I predict that the connection between the stages on the deck 3 will be the same than on the Liberty, we will have to go between them through the decks 4 or 5. Hopefully I am wrong

I have decided to choose a cabin with balcony, for a change, with a hope that I will have some time to use the balcony

Website · by **Azazel101** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 6:14 am

Sorry to say this but I am pretty sure we will have the same ass backwards entrances to the stages as we did last year.
a lot of extra walking. I am complaining and I do not have your problem. but I do tend to have another

We got a balcony on the last 70k and it was wonderful!

by **Phoenix** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 7:53 am

I had an interior room and it was great. With the lights out it was pitch black in the room, just the way I like it.

Though I also learned that I'm never playing the room mate lottery again. My one room mate was absolutely lovely... but that was it. Sticking with people I know this time around.

... As soon as something good gets announced for the lineup. I'm not prepared to book blind with the dollar this weak right now.

by **SaraMarie** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 10:27 am

Oh shit, it's about to be on. This isn't a great time for me now (I spent my bonus on MDF and need to buy puppy things and go get my new dog by the end of the month), but whatever.

I might go with a balcony room with 3 other girls again. I had a good experience last time. Having the balcony is nice, too.

Would be nice to get at least a headliner announced before booking, though.

Empty and abandoned. Sounds pretty Black Metal to me.

Karaoke on the pool deck hey? That's a much better idea. Why has this not been done before?

Yep, this is exactly what my friends who want to go this year are looking for.
There's a lot riding on the initial lineup announcement.

Damnit.

Still, I'll have a Pyrrhic victory.

Do you think 4 months is enough time for those monthly deposits?

Suddenly, it's all happening!

Super Metal Sunday? What the?

Sunday Night Is Documentary Night

by **deathmetalpat** » Sun Jun 07, 2015 10:22 am

Last year's booking process was so "out of the blue" and hopefully so confusing at UMC they won't repeat it.Dealng with people across many time zones and not giving at least 24 hours between announcing booking and starting booking ending up with too many "lead passengers " ( 2 people booking for one cabin ).How a company so inept at times ;can think all the friends going have made their decision on ,if they are going and who will be lead,amazes me.

Anyone get their promo codes yet? I haven't received mine and was just wondering if I should contact someone. If no one has theirs then I'm not worried.

I haven't got mine either, I assume that no one has, otherwise this thread would be blowing up by now.

Got an email back saying, "We haven't sent out Promocodes for booking just yet...", "... in the very near future."

They seem to have progressed from "SOON"

Even though you are using reason and logic (something unheard of in UMC offices ),you are problably right about this.Eventually business practices will force the booking process.Monday June 15th would be public and pre-booking for vets should be Friday June 12th ,going past these days will screw up his own terms and conditions .

by **Sidvarg** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 1:57 am

I don't think that is the case, i know we all hope for an announcement soon but the October 15th deadline is to accuore a ticket in four installments, i might for example book a cabin in October 10th and make the last payment on january, what you can't is pay lile that after the 15th, so i dont think it means they must start booking on june 15th, i think im might take a bit longer, they will announce the port and later bands and finally booking i think it might take most of the rest of the month

by **Dimma** » Tue Jun 09, 2015 2:25 am

What happened to Super Metal Sunday?

It's fucking Tuesday night here now!

or is it just a lame promo for Super Bowl on The Boat....

You are correct but I was adding an a Royal Carribean policy that must not apply (all cruisers must be paid in full 60 days before a cruise if you book before 60 days , then you must pay in full at time of booking less than 60 days on a normal cruise)
1)UMC forces pay in full after 15 Oct. 2015,a which means about 80 days but with a late booking say 14 Oct. 2015 you can make you last payment really close to sail date.
2)When I said business practices ,I was thinking UMC needs money but maybe they don't need any money.Enough profit from prior years ,a bank loan or Swiss Masonic bankers have it covered (see last year's main logo on t-shirt for details on third choice)

With all four installments due by October 15, there isn't really a reasonable timeframe for all payments to be made other than what I mentioned. Unless they're willing to extend the due date for full payment on account of this year's late start, the first payment wouldn't likely to be due any later than July 15.

What i meant is that the deadline is to start paying in installments, it doent mean that you have to pay all 4 instalments for that day, it means that if you dont start with at least the first payment before that day you will have to pay full at once from then on
