After 10 years, what band do you wish had played the boat, but still can’t understand why they never did? For me it’s unquestionably SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, it feels like they played every other music cruise but this one. They played MegaCruise and it was the funnest pool deck show I've ever witnessed...

So I was waiting until the end of February because surely we would have a date by then and no.... :lol: So I go with September 11 2020 ,just because Andy has already jumped the shark so hard the date wouldn’t even be ironic at this point. Forget guessing the first band announcement. Instead guess t...

We had a nice turnout this year at the Viking Crown. I believe some people from the Discord gaming chat community also joined us, hence the increased number of unknown people around Haha! When I got up there I saw a crowd of all these people I didn't know and wondered if I had gone to the correct s...

Nobody knows shit, man!

We are all basically Jon Snow in this matter.

We Know Nothing.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll all know the line-up plus the sail date sometime before we sail. But this trend is annoying as F!

This: https://www.bargetohell.com/artists.htm

Dump all the folk, power and corset metal and bring back The Barge to Hell with Death/Black/Extreme metal. Go with a smaller ship so it sells out. That would be something I could get excited about. Just look at the lineup they had, it was spectacular.

...One thing I would like to add, why to do the last night's karaoke on deck 11?... I'm the same way about the last night karaoke at the Solarium on deck 11. It's a cramped area and hard to see there plus it's top-side. I much prefer the Karaoke at the Playmakers Sports Bar on deck 4. Not too impre...

That's why there were so many people there, haha!

... Viking Crown sure beats standing in the sun on the ass-end of the ship. Plus the sky-bar is right below, right? Does anyone remember if that is open before the muster-drill? My bad, Viking Crown in aft-mid ship deck 14. The closest bar that is probably open that I can tell is hop on the elevato...

I received a phone call from the 70K Customer Service team. They confirmed we can use the Viking Crown as a meeting place, but the bar will not be open due to the muster drill, unfortunately. So, Viking Crown 3:00pm? Group photo at 3:30pm? Awesome cegr80! U-da-get-things-done-man. Thank you for set...

Not all hotels offer a shuttle service from the airport or to port. My first experience with this was in 2016 and the pre-party was at Ocean Manor Hotel. That was before Uber was popular and I had sticker shock getting from the airport to the hotel. Riptide doesn't offer any kind of shuttle service.

is there a free shuttle from FLL? I thought i read that somewhere. The hotel I'm at has a shuttle to/from the airport so I was thinking of just taking that to the airport then the airport shuttle to the port Ramada Airport/Cruise Port motel has a shuttle like that. Picked me up at the airport, back...

Here is the post that Dorothy made on Facebook about transportation to/from the hotels and port and the parties. Best part for me is if enough people sign up we could have buses going from Riptide to port. I booked a ride to port for $15 from Riptide. Heavy Metal Beach Party Book your bus to the POR...

Sorry to hear this. Sending my condolenses. I did not know her. But so many on the boat did from reading the Facebook posts. When was she on the boat last?

I love the Viking Crown, the bar 'can' be open if Royal Caribbean knows people will be up there expecting drinks. I think Andy (or someone on Andy's staff) would need to request that. Does anyone want to reach out to UMC to see if they can request the bar in Viking Crown be staffed? ^^^^ This needs...

She got so wasted on those drinks she missed the muster drill, passed out in her cabin, haha!

So I got my booking request for my girlfriend and my room, but I panicked a little and booked a room for a few hundred more a person because the cheaper option room I was going for were showing up sold out. They have now reappeared but I can't double request since my survivor code has already been ...

Any other Gold's still waiting for their confirmation e-mails from Tuesday? I got the "Booking Request" e-mail, but haven't seen the confirmation/payment e-maily yet.

I am a HUGE Megadeth fan 1 :shred: Was Dave Mustaine well enough to perform ? How is he doing ? Unfortunately Dave was not able to attend due to his medical issues at this time, plus the band did not perform as Megadeth. Dave's daughter attended the pre-parties and the cruise. She addressed the gue...

This is something I’ve never seen on 70K and hope someday we might have these. They were very interesting and gave insights into the bands and the artists that you can’t find anywhere else. The format was each band would take questions from the audience. A DJ or MC personality would moderate and kee...

Stay tuned for all the news coming next week.

I knew it. Right when I'm smack in the middle of MegaCruise. Now I have to get that expensive boat Wifi just so I can keep hitting refresh on the 70K news.

Well done! Don't say the s... word. I've removed that word from my vocabulary. Every time I see it I get triggered. Haha!

I'm thinking that if we don't get anything on October 10th -- tenth sailing, tenth day of the tenth month 10th anniversay sailing, UMC bright idea => Announce on the 10th month (October), 10th day at 10 o'clock (UMC time of course), RELEASE THE KRAKEN. Oh ye of little faith, it makes perfect sense,...

Following week: full payment due...while I'm on the ship or in fucking Aruba or something.

Exactly! Contemplating getting the rediculously expensive internet package aboard MegaCruise for this very same reason.
