Sailors!

Ahoy!

I just checked my watch and it's band o' clock!
Let's C....what this next band is shall we.

CRIPPER Reunion show!!!!

1 - Emperor - 6
0 - Epica - 3
1 - Haggard - 5
2 - Origin - 9

Another ORIGIN PILLOW FIGHT!!! That was one of my favorite sets from all of the previous cruises.

5. No need to bitch and whine anymore, it just brings negative energy to our boat. Andy will either deliver or he won’t. If he doesn’t deliver, I’ll just find something else awesome to do.

I'd be pretty surprised if Archspire didn't get added. They're king shit right now. Nothing solid to go off but they've never been on before and would fill the tech death niche nicely. I’d be super happy if Archspire were added this year. :D As for a tech death rumor, Origin will most likely be bac...

I’m in an optimistic mood today, I’m going with March 28th.

In my opinion, the Skipper’s speech was pretty pointless this year. Maybe next year we’ll get a few band announcements during his speech?!!!

Early days, so just the multiples for now :)

3 Amon Amarth, Powerwolf
2 Alestorm, Amorphis, Edguy, Equilibrium, Gotthard, Sabaton, Tarot, Trollfest

Statsman, any chance we can group them into repeats and first timers? I’d love to see it laid out that way.

Ask around at all of your local shows and random festivals this year and let us know what you find out.

We just got off our beloved ship and we’re already looking forward to 2020. Let’s get our wishlists going so Andy can make our dreams come true again! 1st Timers: Archspire Eternal Tears of Sorrow Be’lkor Whispered Gojira Powerwolf Voyager Repeats: Amon Amarth Sabaton Carach Angren Origin Izegrim Se...

Since Andy is most likely scrambling for the last few bands, I’m guessing we’ll get repeats from the USA. My USA repeat wishlist is:
Origin
Helstar
Nekrogoblikon

With a quick listen, it sounds like that's three more nap slots for me.

Sounds like the next one might be Nekrogoblikon (which would be rad), but I'd also love November's Doom.

It’s not gonna be November’s Doom. They were just asked, but not available to play this year. Nekrogoblikon it is!

I got two days left, don't count me out just yet.
It's "Price Is Right" rules (closest without going over), correct?

Book em Andy! That’d be a fun show to check out.

I’ll take August 1st.

Wishlist: 3 Melodic Death Metal bands 3 Thrash Metal bands 3 Black Metal bands 3 Power Metal bands 3 Traditional Metal bands 3 Death Metal bands 3 Prog Metal bands 3 “....core” Metal bands and mix in some symphonic, technical, female fronted, blackened, orchestral, stoner, german, asian, south ameri...

Looks like days 3 and 4 never happened.

I’m a dog and I like socks!

It'll be Kataklysm.

I guess Andy needed his last minute band.

I’ll do it for you Jaimie. I know it’ll be your #1 performance of 2018.

I may be the only person with this band as my #1, but I have to go with Die Apokalyptischen Reiter. They totally blew me away in 2013 and I’m super excited for their return! Hopefully, I’ll see some of you at their sets!

Runners Up:
-Septicflesh
-Sonata Arctica
-Samael
-Primal Fear

Looks like I was right!

I've been lusting after the Zoom Q2N for concert recordings. I was doing a lot of research and this looks like a great option for local shows. The biggest downside is the battery life, I don't know how I can capture all the videos I'd like on the cruise with a 40 minute battery life. Thanks for the...

As some of you know, I enjoy filming a song or two of each show and sharing it on youtube with the 70K survivors and those less fortunate who can only live vicariously through us . Lately, my camera has been crapping out on me and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions of a good camera that recor...

Give us Wintersun next!!!

Dark Tranquility - 3
Messhugah - 0
Septicflesh - 4
Sonata Arctica - 4

My vote this year is for Anthrax. Never heard of those guys

There was the drugged out naked dude that almost did it. Cant remember if it was this year or last year but luckily enough someone basically suplexed his ass to safety. I remember that on the 2015 cruise.My cabin mate and I were sitting next to him on deck 12. He looked really messed up, then he to...

After all of these cruises my list is getting pretty short.
70K Virgins
Unleash the Archers
Eternal Tears of Sorrow
Be'lakor

I'm guessing/hoping the last band is gonna be Cripper. Along with an onbroad voting station for the Cripper award this year. The last few years it became an internet popularity contest with non-cruisers getting a say in the winner.

I'll guess: Amon Amarth Overkill Grand Magus Striker Helstar Whispered Monolithic Candlemass Begrime Exemious Cripper - Only because Britta wrote the following on the Cripper Award Thread just over a year ago, "Maybe there is another surprise waiting, but that would be too much to talk about ri...

I'm hoping we get Die Apokalyptischen Reiter back onbroad. They were a pleasant surprise in 2013.

.5 - Amaranthe - 4
1 - Amorphis - 5
1 - Annihilator - 6
1 - Anthrax - 6

I've been asking for Kalmah for over 5 years!!!! Thanks Andy!

Unfortunately for us, Eluveitie are breaking up. I've posted the announcement from their official webpage below. THE END OF AN ERA With a heavy heart we have to announce that Eluveitie will go through another change soon. We have decided to part ways with our longtime drummer Merlin Sutter. In the c...
