T for Tankard & then S for Sodom. Give me the Teutonic 4!

[AverageMetalDrummer]

I’ll take Tad Morose or Therion for T.

[MuzakMaker]

Therion just announced dates during the cruise so unfortunately they're out

That is unfortunate. They would have been a good addition.

[Mr.Kito]

guessing next one will be Torture Squad

There are some bands from lesser known metal categories that rarely are mentioned with 70000 Tons that are very talented. 3 examples , there are many others . Total Self Hatred , Thy Light , Thy Antichrist

Thy Antichrist were ON 70k on 2015 so I'd hardly call that rarely mentioned

I am mainly speaking of from 2017 onwards that is the first year I attended the cruise . Also DSBM bands I feel overall are rarely onboard , and post - black metal bands also rarely represented also .

Neither, because my favorite bands aren't getting booked or are already ruled out

Booking Request was done in like 5 mins. I hope everyone else gets it done this smoothly. This was by far the easiest year.

[progsteph]

hey guys i am a survivor but i totally forgot how the payment worked last time. Credit card details not yet, wait for the booking code i guess? (because it is just a reservation now)?...

[cegr80]

Booking request placed! It went smooth for me

[cegr80]

Yeah, once you make the booking request you will have to wait for an email to provide the payment info

That step could use better guidance, since the schedule states "at time of booking", but the booking confirmation could take "up to three days."

Booking request went pretty smoothly though, and can't wait to get closer to paying it off.

[progsteph]

Thanks folks!

You should have gotten an email with an invoice attached by now. If not, check your spam or junk folder, because mine ended up there.

I'm paying in full by bank wire, so tomorrow I have an appointment at the bank. Last time I stepped inside a bank was....two years ago for 70K 2020.

Booking went fast and I emailed them and got the same awesome room we had last year (same deck plan and stateroom number). I swear it's the nicest balcony on the back of the ship and there's no extra charge.

[toby]

Got me and the wife's info all ready to go. I feel like I need a countdown timer. lol

[cegr80]

Let's get more bands announced!

[Phoenix]

Feels weird getting the email but not booking.

That's what happened for us last round. This round, not so much. Timestamp on the booking request email was 12:04EST. No confirmation yet. So much for processed in the order received, I guess. lol

[metalforever]

Down to the wire tic toc clock ticking down I guess if I don't book before 12 noon today and utilize the gold status I guess I may not attend for 2023 I have mixed feelings about attending this one concerning the band line up not really appealing personally to me and personal issues I am dealing with presently .

[Yippee38]

I got my booking confirmation about 9 hours after booking request confirmation.

[Kvltraven]

BOOKING MADE!

Lets hope for a quick turnaround.
