That's my only conflict too (besides a lot of sets ending when others are starting. Friday is going to be a hell of a day).
But I imagine Therion will open with The Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah and Haggard will close with either Awaking the Centuries or In a Pale Moon's Shadow or something (*and* Shir-Ran from Eluveitie is joining them!) so that makes the decision to stay at Haggard a lot easier.

This is not an issue unless you are going to the Pyramid Lounge. You want to get there early, as you can only see in there if you are right up front. For the other 3 venues, generally you can show up at any time and get a decent spot/view.

I totally feel your pain regarding Scar Symmetry. If there is one thing I'd criticize about the schedule it's their placement and especially location.
Well, gotta make the best out of it, even the lounge is an okay'ish venue if you're in one of the front rows...

Better luck next year, I suppose.

Sanitizer pales in comparison to a ridiculous amount of soap/water hand washing. Also, pack some vitamin c/zinc pills for next year. Take them daily starting the day before initial plane travels, and a few days after boat to help cover incubation periods. Sorry you got sick!

Norovirus? Really? It didn't spread like crazy I assume, right? Didn't seem to slow many people down.

Cruise was amazing. So many bands! Line up for me was perfect. Gonna be a hard sell to get me back next year, I tell you what.

mooyagi wrote:Yeah, the technical issues and stage delays really put me in a bad mood the first two days. Days 3 and 4 were much better. The ice rink was excellent. Did the pool stage open up on time? I didn't make it up there until later in the afternoon.

The sound in the theater was almost always terrible. There were times where musicians were completely absent from the mix. Conversely, the sound in the other three venues was very strong.
As a whole the cruise was amazing. Can't wait for next year.

Pyramid lounge was also terrible as usual. Ended up seeing very little in there.
