Band/fan interaction 2017:
Alea der Bescheidene - Saltatio Mortis: A+, He was everywhere, so friendly and easy to chat up, take a selfie with, etc.
Alissa White-Gluz - Arch Enemy: F-, I don't know, maybe she was busy.
RE: Alissa White-Gluz.. It's a female thing. They hide so as not to be mobbed by fans. Simone did the same thing and then whenever she WAS around the ship, Oliver was by her side.
In saying that I frequently saw Lori Lewis (Therion) and Anette Olzon (Nightwish) around the ship. Linnea Vikstrom (Therion) was also about the ship as her Instagram suggests. I imagine Cristina Scabbia was also seen a bunch too, she doesn't seem like the type to hide in her stateroom.

One of my bigger regrets from this year is not getting a selfie with him. His torso is a fucking inspiration! Very glad he has a terrible allergy to shirts.

Oh right, language barrier. Good point. I'm sure the Guyze in the band have at least a limited use of English. Enough to say "thank you" and "we are gyze" and "this next song is called..."
Two years ago the singer from Krisiun was struggling to put together a sentence so he threw in "fucking" in the middle of each sentence. (Actually that's just like Corey Taylor from Slipknot...)
Anyway, Gyze is gonna be over as fuck, I guarantee.

It was a few days after public booking started near the end of August.

Lol I forgot about Salatio Mortis guy, I don't remember the set but I saw him one afternoon on the pool deck jamming the fuck out to whatever band was playing.

To be fair, she probably never met a professional wrestler before!

The ladies of Crucified Barabara - 2015 were all very accessible and friendly. When they were out and about I'd always give them a shout out in passing, but I didn't want to run up and bug them when they were on their own time.
The dudes from Arch Enemy were all very friendly. I'd see them in the Casino bar lots of times interacting with fans.

Yeah dude, the Delain ladies are always awesome. Dianne Van Giersbergen is really cool too.

I saw Gyze in Japan in 2014 and met them as well. Their show was legit and they were really friendly guys. The language barrier is somewhat of a problem but they did try and they were really excited that we (non-japanese) were at their show and they wanted us to talk to them in english even though we spoke conversational Japanese. They fit on the boat more than a lot of other Japanese bands I know of. Their english could very well have improved..
As far as Japanese bands..I'd like to see Maximum the hormone on the boat, or Dir en grey. But I doubt Dir en grey would ever happen, most of them are really reserved about interacting with fans, and I'd say they are an acquired taste.

Thats really cool seeing them as a gaijin. Anyway bands like Dir en grey would be a little bit too japan domestic

Yes, as much as i'd like to see it, they never did get on that well when they did the euro festival circuits. Even when they played the ones like loudpark and knotfest in Japan their whole fandom came out and there was a clear divide between them and the "standard metalheads" (for lack of a better term). Their fandom is nuts enough they would probably end up booking up what remains on the boat just to see them, and then wouldn't go see any of the other bands
I don't think Gyze will be like that though BTW I thought they were better live than recorded so I'm hoping people will give them a chance. I think the guys will be out and about around the boat as well.

For Japanese bands, Sigh or GTFO.

Hop over to China and gimme Black Kirin or Frosty Eve
