The most metal moment for me was seeing Aether Realm perform the whole of The Sun, the Moon, the Star, when Evan from Wilderun coming out to sing the ending chorus for them. His voice is amazing, that chorus is amazing, and it was the absolute cruise highlight for me. God damnit, I missed that. I s...

One request skipper - PLEASE try and return us to our 'usual' time of year of end January / early February. Even with the superbowl in Miami, I could currently get a return flight to FLL in a few weeks for $1,100. Cost me $1.5k each JUST to get to LAX this round due to it being peak holiday period ...

Regardless if there is an additional announcement to be made, this Round X is in the sack. I still cannot believe the amount of bitching. In my opinion there are solid bands worth the cruise. You can't get them all and you can't please everybody. Glad that I got at least 4 bands from my wishlist th...

It is ridiculous at this point. We've had a run of 17 North American bands, with 2 of them being a 'W' announcement. Wilderun just released a great new album, is heavily requested, and best buds with Aether Realm. it seemed like a slam dunk! Don't forget that they really want to do it as well. I've...

If you ever find yourself floating in the Bermuda Triangle WITHOUT WAVES , then you just might have entered a parallel dimension! In this dark, twisted reality 70000TONS OF METAL does not exist.

Wow Shape The Above, I didn't expect this band to make anyone's list since it's a relatively new band that didn't do any internationnal touring yet, let alone national touring. Glad to see it in your list. :) Yeah, I got a good friend who lives in Germany and he's always keeping me up to date with ...

Gonna add THE DARK ELEMENT to my wishlist.

Wasn't a fan of their first album but damn the two tracks I've heard off the new album are awesome.

Where is Wilderun in the list now? Haven't seen them pop up yet, just wondering how many + they have?

Wilderun - Veil Of Imagination. FUCKING MASTERPIECE

Yes, again and again and again.

I do not understand how Wilderun hasn't made the list yet.

Can I add one more for them? :)

They just released an album today, it is magnificent and it would resonate well on the Caribbean sea.
Check out Veil of Imagination by Wilderun.

Interesting job offer. I hit most of those criterias... But it does say Vancouver British Columbia in the ad. Might not be for anyone anywhere.

My actual wishlist is way to long, here is my epurated wishlist. Pretty much any band in this list would be an instant book for me. Even if I would book either way, but this would make me even more excited: 3 Inches of Blood (wishfull thinking I know) Aeternam Amon Amarth Be'lakor Before The Dawn Be...

It's got to be him in Warkings though don't you think?

Even though the members are all anonymous, it HAS to be him

100% is him. His gesture and vocals are really easy to spot :).

I don't think we've ever had a 'ruled out' list this big!! :O Amaranthe, Warkings, Follow the Cipher and Serenity ruled out. Dark Moor too :( DEFINITELY OUT - Touring, not touring, breaking up, etc :) Allegaeon - touring Amaranthe - touring Amorphis - touring At The Gates - Touring Atlas Pain - sha...

Awwwww yes! Are they great live, guys? I assume yes.

Saw them twice in September, they totally killed it. I did see them on the boat in 2017, but I didn't know that as much as I do now.

I stay in Ft.Lauderdale but party in Miami.

I'm considering that. You uber down there or what

Last year I rented a car and drove from Fort Lauderdale, but this year I'll uber it up, from Hollywood though, so it's a bit closer.

Septicflesh?
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/ensife ... pticflesh/

On top of the fact that they were on last year, they are also playing in Mexico city a show with an orchestra on the 2nd of February

Heard from many people that Solstafir is a definite. I am unsure of their sources but more then one person has shared this info with me so maybe.... Asked Jari last night if he was gonna be on the cruise with Wintersun, he said "we'll see" Jukka told me exactly the same in Worcester 2 days ago...

So we've got 5 so far! Not bad :D Amorphis - they love the cruise Angra - because, Fabio Annihilator - seem to do it practically every other year Borknagar - everyone expected them to be on in 2018 Dragony - lead singer on as a cruiser in 2018 Ensiferum - due for a return Evenmore - singer was on b...

beyond creation just released a new album

I personnaly wouldn't mind (wearing their new algorythm tee right now lol) but they played the boat this year, so they are officially out for 2019 :(.

In costume? I've heard bits here and there about costumes for something, please tell me more! Yeah, last day is costume day. Some people do it, others don't. It depends how you feel about it. I think it's fun. Oh and try to get some silly costume, or at least something that will not be bulky in you...

I'm definitely going to get ridiculed by this :lol: , but I wear my Crocs on board almost all the time. Like someone said, comfort is #1, and Crocs are comfort. I've never had any issues with my feets after 2 cruises so far. Also, from a Canadian perspective, the weather is awesome, around 25 celciu...

Oh hell yes. I'm loving this lineup overall. Turisas, Thyrfing, Trollfest, Therion, or especially Terasbetoni would put it over the edge. The Dread Crew also, obviously. And lots of others. T is a good letter. Tesasbetoni would be INSANE. I've been following this band for so long and I've given up ...

Why are you ruling this group out? Omnium, specifically, is on Full Metal Cruise and also just announced Nordic Metal Cruise, neither of which are in direct conflict of the timeframe for 70k and don't appear to themselves have any cruise exclusivity contracts. They DO have exclusivity contracts. Co...

I don't have much opinion on the F (Fallujah are out), but yeah this lineup is looking really solid so far. Maybe the second best I've been on (2017, 2018, 2015 is my current order). But still, no shit my pants bands, so I'm more than a little underwhelmed currently. I thought In Vain would have be...

First hatty of the season!

Me too

9675, 3 year in a row on the 9th deck woot.

I'm back in this year guys :).

Blind Guardian posted a memories from 70k 2015 today, does this mean anything? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it would be awesome to see them on board.

My room in Hollywood Beach Suites last year was pretty unacceptable. I won't get into details because it was that bad. Love the Taco Bar, but I won't stay at the Hostel again. I'll be taking at least one trip to that place, regardless of where I wind up staying in FLL. I'm currious since I just boo...

Grailknights - gig 31.01.

We won't be pumping iron power :(

That would make you and your kids happy? Does this means you're back in 2019? I though you were taking a year off. BOOKED! Eleanor got her work schedule for the winter the day before booking started, and it turns out the only chance we have for a winter vacation coincides with 70K. So we decided to...

Really hoping for Rivers of Nihil; they deserve it. Where Owls Know My Name is easily one of the best albums of the year. Tech death with a sax... who knew it'd be so damn good. I'll settle for Rotting Christ coming back onboard, though. Dude, these are my 2 choice for R as well. I've stumbled upon...

Kontrust would make me (and my kids) really happy, but it's never gonna happen. Kalmah is my second choice because they had the worst mix in the Alhambra in 2017, and I decided to go to bed instead of suffering through it. That would make you and your kids happy? Does this means you're back in 2019...

That should make a few people happy I've only ever liked two black metal bands so I'm probably not one of them.

U? Is it finally time for UTA to get on the boat?

I'm not huge on Black metal as well, but Dark Funeral surprised me live, they give an amazing performance.

Y'all told me I was wrong, but noooo... Man it's really not looking good for melodeath on the boat this year. As much as it sucks not to have Markus Vanhala onboard, we still have plenty of great melodeath options out there. Mors Principium Est and Scar Symmetry would make me very, VERY, happy. Yea...

I heard that any band doing the Full Metal Cruise can't do the 70k the same year. Omnium Gatherum told me first hand last weekend that they couldn't do the 70k 2019 because they were booked on that other cruise already. https://www.full-metal-cruise.com/en/bands/cruise-viii/billing/ So I guess all o...
