Seeing 'Raging Waters' performed on the pool deck by Testament in the middle of the ocean.

Sprinkles was pretty awesome too!

Why doesn't everybody post in this thread who they voted for specifically. Should be pretty easy to figure out who is the winner. Maybe only count members registered before this cruise. Might leave some real votes out, but should give a real good good idea who the leader actually is. Just a thought.

I don't post much either, but I voted for Witchtrap too. They were really good if you like old school thrash. I can see why they are getting a lot of votes as this year's cruise had a thrash heavy line-up. I do agree it should only be open for people that actually saw them on the boat though. Includ...

Posting single numbers didn't work well. They would be better off posting a group. 1-25 , 25-50 etc. The numbers jumped almost a hundred places on the second day in the afternoon. We went in to watch Overkill and had around 90 places to go. Came out after 3 or 4 songs to check where they were at and...

What we did on the 2015 cruise was bring a duffle bag and put a case of water and a case of red bull in it. Checked it in no problem. Then used the duffle bag for dirty clothes. Worked out great. We will do the same this year I know red bull is bad for you, but this is an unusual situation. I don't...

Hoping none of the bands or cruisers miss the boat due to what's going on right now. Safe travels to everyone!

There was tons of crowd surfing for Municipal Waste during the ice rink show in 2015. We were on the barrier and had to keep an eye out. You have to expect it at a show like that though. We had a blast during both their sets.

Threshold maybe?

I'm not the biggest Amon Amarth fan, but do they still do the synchronized head swinging thing. I seem to remember them doing this way back when they started in their videos. Maybe that is the head spinning they are referring to? Axxiss makes more sense though. I personally would like to see Atheist...

Jorn Viggo Lofstad liked a comment I made about Pagan's Mind being on the cruise in February. Might mean something???

Not sure if the policy changed since 2015, but I threw a case of water and Redbull in a duffel bag and brought it through no problems. We then used the duffel bag for dirty clothes. Still spent over $500 on booze!

Loving the Thrash fest this year! Glad we booked again after missing last year!. As for 'V' bands I'm hoping for Voyager, Vanden Plas, or even more thrash with Vektor

I think it will be Gojira, but maybe Ghost Ship Octavius on the horizon?

No prog bands yet...hopefully it's Redemption.

King Diamond?

Flotsam and Jetsam! New album smokes! Would like to see Sacred Reich on there too.

USD 4,000??? Wow... I spent $999 (cruise) + $500 (Amsterdam-FLL-Amsterdam) ticket + $150 (drinks + souvenirs) = $ 1,649.00. That's for me and my wife. We actually spent more if you include the night we stayed at the hard rock before the cruise. That was our choice so I'm not including that. Being f...

Only been on the last cruise and while it was awesome I'm already tired of being jerked around. With all these other cruises going on this is going to hurt them in the long run. I know a couple people that already booked other cruises. We almost booked on the Motorhead cruise, but I don't like their...

I was thinking.....Is there an active band(only one) that would make you sign for the cruise in a heartbeat? Now that Savatage is active again.. Them. Yeah, this. I listed Savatage with Jon Oliva's Pain originally, but worthy of a separate entry now on the "hey, it's slightly more possible&quo...

I left a comment on Metal Church's facebook page on January 16th before this years cruise and just got a reply today that I posted below. I guess they can be the first band on the rumored list! Me - I'm still hoping you guys might be on 70000 tons with Mike singing! Like · Reply · 6 · January 16 at ...

Here is a quick list I threw together. Some are not going to happen, I know. No repeats from this year and I tried to put some variety.

I took limited video, but did get some full songs. Sound and picture are pretty good. Enjoy! http://youtu.be/LAR3lBFhhvg - Arch Enemy - No Gods, No Masters http://youtu.be/tfCRJbgyyLo - Arch Enemy - We Will Rise http://youtu.be/pzDHgNQ2JwU - Trouble - When The Sky Comes Down http://youtu.be/VFUN2Abx...

I'm still hoping the U.K. band is HELL.

Is it wrong of me to still dream that Hell will be announced. It would be a great announcement: 70000 tons of Metal will take you AT THE GATES of Hell. Ok I can dream can't I? Either way, I'm happy with the announcements. I know I'll have an excellent time, and I hope the bad energy from the forum ...

What I am really amazed by is how they can keep 15 bands a secret this late in the game. I'm frustrated as anyone, but Trouble was a great add for me. Hoping some big names are going to be announced still. I have a feeling he is going to surprise us all. If some great bands are announced, everyone w...

I just had a thought while looking at the ship deck plans. How cool would it be if one big band isn't announced at all. They land in a helicopter, walks to the stage and start playing. Impossible I know, but when I saw that helipad on the front of the boat that is what popped into my mind.

My wife and I have been wanting to go this since the first one was announced. Finally took the plunge this year! City/country: Florida, USA Age (optional): 44 What first got you into metal? Older brother got me into Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Sabbath, Zappa, and other stuff pretty young in the 70's. ...

This will be our first 70000 tons. After looking at Royal Caribbeans website I found this below after a search. Q: Are the all-inclusive beverage packages available on all sailings? A: The all-inclusive beverage packages are sold onboard all ships, on all sailings 4 nights or longer. ( I know it sho...

I haven't seen Ratt in years, maybe decades! I like the first few albums and the last one they released was pretty damn good so I threw them in for the 80's hair band type. We seen Tesla around 4-5 years ago and they were good. I have seen some footage of them recently and Jeff Kieth did sound horr...

Sava, your list looks good, a couple unfamiliars on there, but one really sticks out for me, RATT? Man have you seen them in the last 10 years? Pearcy is just f'ing horrible these days. I was a big fan back in the 80's and have seen them 7-8 times over the years. I love it when a band continues car...

We missed this years cruise, but really hope to make the next one. Came up with a list. Lots of bands already mentioned and a few new ones.

New guy here! My wife and I are planning on going next year. Almost pulled the trigger for the first one, but decided against it. Wrong decision judging from everybody's pictures, videos. and reviews. Looks like it was a blast and we really hope to be there for the next one!
