    I know right? WHAT A WEIRD WAY TO DO BUSINESS!!

    "I know what I'm gonna do, instead of announcing stuff and opening sales in February when the post cruise hype is at its peak, taking millions of dollars from my 3,000 customers, guaranteeing a sold out cruise, and putting that money it into my bank to earn interest or investing it, i'm going to let them all hold onto that money for the next 9 months, becoming bitter about the lack of news, having heaps of previously loyal customers drop out, and ending up with only 3/4 of cabins filled"

    If I was an investor in that company? Damn I'd be pissed :P
    Maybe there is no more money for further bands cause of the lack of customers...!? :mrgreen:
    if there is no money to pay the bands maybe Andy is driving around the cities visiting homeless shelters etc... hey buddy can you hold a microphone drumming up bands , we can give you a free ride on the big boat and we will feed you for payment and we will validate your parking if you ever can afford a car , please do not take this post too serious , I am just having a little fun . :stagger:
    I´m sure that´s the real reason for the delay! :heavydrink:

    What are the odds that we even see a “ONE MONTH” post today?

    If we don’t, I’m gonna be more than a little concerned. Not gonna lie.

    Here is a very talented band that would be a good fit for 70000 Tons , A Pale Horse Named Death , they have former members of Type O Negative , and are not too huge in the world 28000 listeners based on Last FM . :death:

    It looks like they are slowly moving some cabins , last minute people . I would say with a very rough estimate of 80% sold out . :|

    Come the fuck on man. This is the most unprofessional shit I've ever experienced. I was on everyones side with "this is just the way it is" and "andy works in mysterious ways" and "worrying is pointless the cruise WILL happen" but at this point i almost regret booking. The first 2 years i went were late and so on but nothing like this. I know ill have a blast again but fuck Andy get your fucking shit together or hand the reigns to someone who knows what theyre doing.

    I haven’t followed the room availability very closely in years past but it feels like there are a lot of rooms left with only 29 days to go. Has it always sold out before?

    26 days until I leave this frozen wasteland behind.

    I can't wait to party with y'all. Even the haters and losers.
    I'm only here to do two things: play the bagpipes and gargle sulphuric acid. Looks like we're almost out of acid.

    This also brought me great joy. I have a cheap interior, damn it! There's no view of anything, and that's the way I like it.

    For comparison, here's when previous droughts ended:
    2019 37 days to go 22 bands
    2018 28 days to go 16 bands
    2017 42 days to go 23 bands
    2016 36 days to go 20 bands
    2015 36 days to go 30 bands

    In 7 days, if nothing happens, we'll have beaten the record for the latest end of announcement drought on the Independence, while being the second year with the most bands left to announce at that time.
    2020 28 days to go *AND COUNTING* 24 bands
    We are now in record-beating territory for lack of announcements, once again.

    Gee, a 30-day post from the Skipper, with no mention of any problems or other issues that would cause an announcement drought with 20+ bands left and less than a month to go. :evil:

    Well, it has always "sold out" in the past.
    The last two years we think it WAS really sold out, since they instituted a waiting list for the first time ever.
    Before that, there were still a few cabins left right up until sailing time, and then all of a sudden a day or two before, they posted "Sold out!" So.... Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Bookings for cruises tend to close around that time anyway.

    Also, "sold out" doesn't necessarily mean every cabin was sold. Each assigned lifeboat station has a certain capacity, and if that vertical "slice" of the ship reaches capacity, they can't sell any more rooms in that section.
    Beer, however, doesn't get to jump in the lifeboats with us in case of an "abandon ship" order, so any unsold cabins can be used for beer storage. :lol: (And no, that's not a joke.)

    We are now in record-beating territory for lack of announcements, once again.
    One band per day for 24 days then. Sounds like a plan. :mrgreen:

    Nah, we always get a few "three-fer" announcements of bands no one has ever heard of before.

    one band per day sounds way too hopeful. i'm sure we'll get a few days of multiple no-name bands, then radio silence for another 10 days

    AFAIK, no "famous" band members and less than 10,000 listeners on last.fm

    Yep that's pretty much it.

    Also, never played boat before.

    The 'no famous members' thing is important too.

    So therefore "Archon Angel" couldn't be a contender because of Zak being a member.

    So too "Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock" is ruled out - only 2,800 listeners on Last.fm but, obviously, Michael Schenker :P

    So its looking like the 'no announcements in first half of December' trend won't be broken.

    Therefore how does this play out?

    Week starting 16th December - 4 to 5 bands spread out as individual announcements over the week
    Week starting 23rd December - a couple before christmas, another 3-4 in the few days after christmas
    Week starting 30th December - a couple before new years, after new years probably 2 or 3 3-4 band announcements
    Week starting 6th January - Another 3-band announcement, then one last "big" surprise
