    Don't know why it's not labeled on the deck plan either. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-s ... ns/1836/05

    I can't eat gluten, so eating the filling out of the little sandwiches is all I have going for me unless I have time for the Windjammer. Without the Café I'd be in trouble.

    Did you mean 9 rather than 10? I notice a new cabin (9237) on 9. Nothing on 10 though....

    Wondering..... are they new? Or were they just not listed on the 70k deck plans because they got re-purposed or were reserved?

    Just seemed a little odd to me!

    behind the aft elevators on deck 10.

    INTERESTINGLY, while according to all I've read, 107 new cabins have been added in the refurbishment, if you compare the official deck plan with the 70k deck plan, there are actually 133 cabins different. So I guess there are a few that get blocked out by UMC for other purposes (ie BEEEEEER).

    I was disappointed to find out that the Royal Suite and the two Owner Suites on deck 10 have been there all along, but hidden on the 70000tons web site, probably reserved for the 3 headliners.
    I thought the bigger suite came with the retrofit, but that must have been another boat.
    No more “bigger suites might attract bigger bands” theory :-(

    Shiprocked (January 2019) is already sold out, with ZERO bands announced: http://www.shiprocked.com/lineup/
    At least they were smart enough to start accepting people’s money. There’s a refund clause if you don’t like the lineup once it gets announced.
    Somebody might get ideas...

    Just seemed a little odd to me!

    I used to be one giant suite, with space for up to 14 people, that was blocked by 70k for whatever reason. After refurb it was split into two standard family suites like the ones on decks 8 and 9.

    Edit:
    You can still see the "Villa Suite" on the Freedom deck plan:
    https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-s ... ns/1821/06


    Hard to be sure, but I suspect UMC reserved that big Villa Suite (renamed from "Presidential" Suite because Trump) either for a headliner band, or for Andy himself and his permanent senior staff. It used to hold up to 14 people at full capacity.

    Phoenix wrote:All signs point to a logistical issue. I have friends who run events for my province, and when they run into problems, they have to leave people hanging. While they can usually get it working for the year, the NEXT year has some changes. So while 2019 is, I'd say, 90% likely to go ahead without a hitch, 2020 may have some substantial changes in store. Which we were pretty sure it was going to anyway, since it's Round 10.

    I’m thinking about this again. Perhaps UMC is giving bands the choice between the last year on the old boat, and 2020 on the new boat, and perhaps even another Barge To Hell.
    So the delay could be caused by trying to get a quorum of bands for two years.
    In a similar vein, Shiprocked is doing their 10th cruise, and they didn’t announce any band before they were sold out.

    That's a very good point. I would imagine more than ever, scheduling of bands would be difficult for this one :/

    You would imagine that every band would prefer to be part of the 'big' 10th cruise celebration given a choice, and if they are on 2019 then no 2020 for them.

    That, combined with the logistic issues of the re-fitted Independence to deal with for 2019, and the (guessing) new ship for the 2020 cruise.... Lots of new complications to contend with.

    Maybe this could be resolved by having exceptional rules for the anniversary cruise.
    If 2020 is indeed on an Oasis Class vessel that will mean significantly more passenger and thus also more bands (as it has been done for the switch to the Freedom Class ship).

    Would be nice though to give the fans just a little bit of info. Sure thing that nobody will discuss internal details in public, but a short update like: "Hey guys! We're still working out some logistical details and will need another X weeks before we can open booking/announce bands."

    Sure. Andy could waive his (presumed) rule about bands not repeating two years in a row for 2020. I don't think it's ever been presented as a hard-and-fast rule, either...just a trend that we've noticed every year.

    I forgot to mention this. The last night of the 2017 cruise I was sitting with Uli Jon Roth in the Schooner Bar and he told me that he was already booked for the 2019 cruise. I will have no issue if this is true because it is a pleasure to watch him play.

    Christofer was really pissed about that injury. He mentioned it during a concert in Switzerland (Z7 - Pratteln) and promised to play extra long that night now that he was healthy again. They went for almost 3 hours... Great show.

    Demons and Wizards had promised more dates today after being announced for W:O:A 2019.

    Demons & Wizards

    We are thrilled to announce that we will be performing on the following dates:

    31.05.2019 - Garage, Saarbrücken, Germany
    01.06.2019 - Z7, Pratteln, Switzerland
    02.06.2019 - Batschkapp, Frankfurt, Germany

    Check out the Events and Tour Dates tabs for information and ticket links.

    Stay tuned!


    No boat yet. But no conflicting schedule either.

    Also on a side note: The Z7 in Pratteln is literally 15 minutes from my home and my favorite concert venue. So that's good :viking:

    You should have heard him on the boat pre-surgery, when he wasn't sure he would ever be able to play again. I don't think there was a still heart (because metalheads that aren't me never admit to crying) on that pool deck when he gave that speech.

    I tagged a bunch of bands in the "which first timers would you like to see?" FB-post, and got likes from Dark Sarah, Ronny Thorsen from Viper Solfa and Kirsten Jørgensen from Evig Natt.

    I have tagged Excelsis in that Facebook post and got a like from them within 5 minutes.

    As they are a rather small Swiss Folk Metal band who's lyrics are in a mix of Swiss-German and English, I highly doubt they will ever make the boat tough. But you never know, our Skipper might enjoy them.

    They growl in Emmental (you might know the cheese) dialect. :D

    We had Abinchova in 2016, so a small Swiss folk metal band isn't unprecedented.

    I did not know them before. Just listening to their set at W:O:A 2017.

    There's more to the Swiss metal scene then Celtic Frost. I'm always learning something more., thanks Speedy. ;)

    (apologies if I mentioned this already in this thread)

    We talked with Riley and Greg from Allegaeon when they came through Salt Lake last fall, mostly reminiscing about their insane Pyramid Lounge show. They said 70K was one of their favorite things they've ever done as a band, and that they'd do it again in a heartbeat if asked.

    You should have heard him on the boat pre-surgery, when he wasn't sure he would ever be able to play again. I don't think there was a still heart (because metalheads that aren't me never admit to crying) on that pool deck when he gave that speech.


    I wasn't crying, but.....oh wow, the feelz.

    I spoke to him at length* about the whole injury thing during that 70K and I could tell he was angry/pissed/heartbroken about it, and not being able to play two different sets on the boat as they'd normally do. They chose a setlist that was intended to minimize his pain while playing guitar (repetitive motions, I think, were the biggest problem)....EXCEPT for "To Mega Therion," which they felt they HAD to play...and which was agonizing for him both times they played it. It was worst for him during their Alhambra set (oddly enough), and if you were watching closely during "TMT" you saw he had to quit playing for a bit due to the pain.
    What a fucking trooper he was!

    A few years ago, UMC needed a filler band at the last minute (2 weeks from departure) so they invited GURD from Switzerland, and I really connected with those guys. Great guys and awesome innovative thrash metal. I should check out what they became.

    Miami is probably the North American airport with the most direct flights to Colombia. It would make absolute sense to fly from there on 05.02.

    From VoA’s Facebook: “ Visions of Atlantis’s ship will cross the Seven Seas and reach the other end of the world in February 2019! Bogota is the first announcement, where should we play next?!”

    Interesting announcement ...

    Hi,
    in an interview back in May the Visions of Atlantis drummer announced that they will be on 70K 2019.
    Link to video (in German) interesting part starting around 1:50...

    Hmm, I really don't think so. It seems their strategy for social media communication is more to give no information but the very basic facts. I think you can take it as a given, at least this year. You might be right though with the "thinning the herd" strategy of letting everyone wait as long as possible. :|
