as always you do make interesting points , with that said , I say keep it in Florida only , and just postpone cruise to early 2022 for the greater good . Why so? If 70k could be in August in Europe weather could be warm enough in Southern Europe. Fuel costs could be less between countries and cruis...

US death toll is still hovering around 1,000 deaths a day, worldwide we are regularly seeing close to a quarter a million new cases everyday, Florida is completely borked, and RC reckon they'll be sailing from 1st of October? To quote a classic Aussie movie, "Tell 'em they're dreamin'" It's possibl...

I'd would say Andy hit a jackpot in case he didn't book any ship yet. For a cruise like 70k to be unique, it needs people from around the globe performing and attend. I don't see it happening next year. They can't offer so good terms of cancellation than flight or big cruise companies unless they wi...

I was on Indy on next cruise after 70k. At least two music charters back to back where pool deck has a stage would be a logistics nightmare, I agree. Pool stage equipment were still being unloaded at 4pm and departure time was 4:30pm. Departure happened about 45mins late. I don't know what issues pe...

Aug 2nd. My birthday. All the best

If you look at the January 2021 schedule there is nothing from January 16th through February 4. If 70K is returning to the Independence then it might be during that time. https://www.cruisetimetables.com/cruisesonindependenceoftheseas-jan2021.html From 16th to 24th of January is an event called Sup...

So sorry to hear that mate :( Thanks, Dallas. It really sucks what happened but what is kind of more setback is that I realized cruise might not be included in travel insurance. I have to check with my insurance company. This cruise isn't part of my party flights and accommodation so... I'm prepare...

14 out of the last 16 bands from the US. 5 out of the last 10 Thrash. Such diversity.... :? You have MORE than kept the thrashers happy skipper, how about some true power metal PLEASE? I have to say I do quite have a same music taste as Statsman. I just found out I have to skip this reserved cruise...

TWELVE from 2017 already? Out of 33 bands? At least spread the repeats out a bit

But no Amaranthe :(

I'm happy with BloodBound. Statmans wishes are so good! I hope they doesn't rule out Beast In Black. Or Battle Beast.

So I listened to some orphaned land... Couldn't make it past 3 minutes. more food time. Your signature says it's your first time. If you'll have 3 favorites (2 setters) and 10 who you'd like to see one time, you'll be busy if you also want to eat and sleep. That is if running order is done well for...

I don't have any top favourite 'O' band wish, but I'd like to see one fellow sailor on stage. So, Orcus O Dis.

T hint sucks. All the "The" bands plus other good ones. Well, M. Schenker was annouced so why not Timo Tolkki's Avalon?

No one seems to be happy about M. Schenker Fest but I am! I didn't expect they would've been even asked to play on boat but I'm more than happy they are in! I got chills when I listened MSG 90's production after a long while. All I'm waiting for is 'B' hint and then Beast in Black. I just need coupl...

Only C I see is ok is Civil War. CoB is out for now. Unforunately CyHra is out so is there any other band available so far who everyone else dislikes?

Spotify has now a playlist too (not made by me).

Andy managed to turn the Indy to the North last time for building up the the deck stage, so I think he can do quite a lot.

the German ad very interesting , hit the translate button to English and notice they have the wrong travel dates after reading all the way through it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their prize includes the flights if I understood correctly.

I bow to you, D. Have you ever missed any detail?

From where on current site did you find the link to that? Or is it some old bookmark and page has been updated? I've tried to click everything and haven't found that. I'm not so concerned. For the family flights, hotel and everything has been reserved for Indy cruise on Jan 11th. I've just reserved ...

What I've noticed is that RC excursion prices go up when sailing date closes. Might be because of demand, not so stupid idea. Still now cheaper than Labadee last time. 20% increase for metalheads isn't so nice anyway.

Well, I don't have to care about this cruise so much. I've booked flights and hotel from 4th to 18th of January 2020 and Indy cruise from 11th to 16th with my wife and son. So whatever will happen, we'll smell it on 11th

Some band was having a stay next to me this year (why does my brain always say last year") and they had to book everything by themselves. No headliners. I got an understanding they didn't have to pay for the cruise, but getting there was on their expense. But hey, that was drunk talk everywhere :bel...

I've had so many events set on same weekend which is also my birthday (Sonata Arctica and Battle Beast also coming to my home town). I'm out of this competition, but looks like it's going to be 2nd of August.

Amaranthe
Amorphis
Avantasia
Beast in Black (once said earlier)
Beyond the Black
Dark Sarah
Edguy
Exit Eden
Hellowen
King Company
Orcus O Dis
Psychework
Purest of Pain
Sabaton
Sonata Arctica
Tarja
Within Temptation
Yngwie Malmsteen

Dragony, Just best!

I will make a poll and see if people like the Must/Might/Won’t Or want to switch to 2 Sets,1 Set, 0 Sets Would it be possible to have a 5 scale options? Something like 2 setter/at least 1 set/1 set/if there's time check this/no thanks. At least I had sometimes difficulties to remember which of the ...

Yeah, that might happen. How about at the elevators on deck 11 or 12 at the same time (where you go to WJ, forward elevators?)? No one can get outside so it should be quite quiet place.

I was there but I think I lost everyone when I was waiting for a beer. How about next time to do it at 9 somewhere on deck 12 on 2nd
day (first sea day)?

EDIT: Ah, is it the damn day when everyone is on merch line.

Beast in Black is my only wish for now, more later. Statsman, don't make it double on stats. What they say is "Yeah. Lets Hope We Will be asked someday to play there.". So please Andy, book them already!

It just might be that couple of 10 of bands are asked first and have to confirm it in some time and the process goes on and on. And in the end there's still some who declined or didn't confirm and there was a hurry to find band(s). Singer/bass player of Vomitory said they were asked in August and so...

I added the coaster to my excursions, I don't think it will be harmful for the baby it seems like smooth ride. I put at first how it was for 2 of us, and it wanted me to pay for her as well! That's when I got confused haha

Hide it well and you'll do 3 for 1

I agree. I don't care about the false announcements. I do like the notifications on the boat :)

I lost the thread where I should post this but from Beast in Black FB pm: "No. We have been not been asked or booked to play there". Really? REALLY? So Beyond the Black then?

Found this thrad.You're missing one oiler.

I don't have to renew ESTA this year, but last year it was also $14. If you paid more, then you chose some other than official website https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov

Please download the latest beta 301901121 and let me know if this resolves the issue.

I downloaded it, will test it. Thanks!

The app was fine for a while, but now refreshing bug kicked in again. It even jumps on top of other apps I'm using. If I use some app and 70 bands app is active on background, suddenly 70k bands app is on screen.

Awesome! Fix seems to solve the refresh problem at least on my phone. Thanks!
