    The update is not showing on archive.org which is updated daily, so it must have been done today or yesterday.

    Mhm, if nothing else, things are alive behind the scenes. Just wrote UMC asking them to update my email address (lost the old one), ten minutes later I got a response back saying it was done. Still as helpful as always, those guys.

    So it seems they've not updated the text only the heading, but the option to pay in 4 monthly installments is going to now be 2.

    The terms page was recent, but the Book Now link was updated over a month ago at least. I check that link daily. :D

    “Bookings made after October 24, 2018 must be paid in full at the time of booking.”So this seems that this was done in haste and they just used 3 months from today.The terms with 4 payments would put the last after booking (3 months from booking) at a date past the 24th of October.With all the delay this year ,there is one thing 70k can’t do ,and that is the must have some major portion of money to give to Royal Caribbean.My guess is the 2 payment system points to a much later booking date ,and you will have to send in 2nd part by the next month.So I wouldn’t be surprised in booking is weeks away,This also points to ‘yes,something is very wrong” and they are trying to put the cruise together.My guess is one of the backers dropped out and they are looking for someone else.

    The October date is BACKWARDS from the departure date. It was October 25th last year.
    This is a pure calendar change based on the departure date.

    Hmm, the archive seems unreliable, it still doesn’t have the “7 months” update for the home page, it stops at June 27th (3 days before).
    So we can only infer that the Terms update was made after June 27th, otherwise it would probably have been crawled with the rest of the site that day.
    They say there’s a 3-10h delay between crawling and appearance on archive.org, so if the updated page doesn’t appear by tomorrow, it was just missed earlier.

    It still sloppy work and shows they just had to do it ,this and the fact they just stopped 70k Tv after 2 days means something went wrong.They even had 2 ‘meet the bands” contests by nobody even responded,so they are going though the motions with social media promotion and logistics but no real things are getting done.

    The header change cannot be accidental. I’m guessing they mean 2 payments of half 2 months apart, so that everyone has paid one month ahead of departure, instead of one week.

    It will be very interesting to see if Andy/70K make an appearance/promotion at Heavy Montreal in a few days, like in previous years.

    I was selected and did the Hammerfall interview in Houston on June 20. I entered through Facebook not the forum so there are no entries there. They advertise it on Facebook and Twitter as well.

    When I did the interview I was in contact with 70000tons.TV. They hired a local freelance videographer to film it. However, the video was provided to them on June 22 and I have yet to hear back from them regarding it. Edit... I just emailed my contact and they responded within minutes. According to them the video is finished and is waiting on 70K to post.

    I did post about our frustration on July 17 on the 70000 Tons Facebook page via a post comment and their response to me was "We get your frustration guys, we're on it!"

    All this frustration will be forgotten SOOO quickly when they announce JUDAS PRIEST (who only have one show announced in 2019, in France on 1/27, just in time) as the first band :mrgreen:

    Could have been worse, I was suspecting that the video was going to Rickroll me, but no...it the video as described. Pretty generic, but as advertised.

    I think these cancellation refund dates were slightly modified also.
    “until October 31, 2018 USD 100.00 per Passenger
    until November 30, 2018 25% of Grand Total Ticket Price
    until December 31, 2018 50% of Grand Total Ticket Price”

    So with 4 payments let’s say Public booking is at least a month away,then a public booker would have 3 months from their booking date to pay in full.So they could make the last payment on 25 November.

    I received a paper letter from the travel insurance company I use every year, with useless info.
    It's their way of saying: "Hey, every year you give us free money, but we noticed you haven't given us money yet this year. Is everything OK?"

    I get the insurance also, costs me about $80 but worth every penny for me. I had a gallbladder attack in 2016, was left in Jamaica on Saturday in the hospital, had to find my own way home after the ship left.

    Yes, the insurance will provide advance payment for hospitals, emergency evacuation from the boat, and repatriation afterwards. They’ll even pay for an “escort” to travel with you.
    There’s a big catch though: the evacuation must be agreed upon by them IN ADVANCE, unless you’re unable to contact them. So make sure you carry their card with the international emergency number, and have the ship doctor call them.
    There’s a reason this coverage is $500,000 (in my case), since a helicopter transfer for example could run you $100,000.

    My wife had surgery for a broken wrist 2 months ago and now she just broke a toe and might need surgery again, so with this kind of luck, we certainly won’t forget travel insurance, whenever the next cruise happens :twisted:

    Notably, this is also around the time things usually go quiet on the 70K front, and we have weeks/months without any band announcements.

    Historically:

    2018 - no announcements from 11th July to 16th September
    2017 - no announcements from 21st August to 22nd December
    2016 - no announcements from 6th August to 2nd October
    2015 - no announcements from 27th August to 23rd September
    2014 - no announcements from 18th May to 9th November

    Somewhat interesting thought. Dont be surprised if repeat cruisers are asked to take a hit for the team. Andy has repeatedly said booking process is unfair and , new blood is needed. I have had privilege of 6 times , the cruise. So, he may ban those early booking this time, and in fact, not be allowed to book until 2 weeks (just a guess), after public sales. Wouldnt surprise me, even with the new number of cabins. Still, there is a bit of arrogance here, it is a lot of money, and if they announce say, not till then end of September, it makes a lot of assumptions, that could backfire, from a business model standpoint. Still, it tends to always work out, and is interesting regardless. But if it is this way, it really screws with a lot of peoples plans , and opportunity cost with regards to other alternative trips , one could have made. All one can do is sit back, wait, and enjoy the sound of silence.
