    Guess the first band announcement date, 2023

    by Sgt. B » Tue Feb 01, 2022 2:11 pm

    Stealing the glory & information from Statsman's ill-fated 2021 post.


    As the title says, time to get this party started again too!

    We still don't have a confirmed cruise line, dates or destination. That would be announced before we get our first artists/bands. This is just to guess the date the first band is announced.

    Statsman has provided the following history to help guide your guesses:

    2020 - October 19
    2019 - August 31
    2018 - July 03
    2017 - July 08
    2016 - June 25
    2015 - March 15
    2014 - March 31
    2013 - June 27
    2012 - April 18
    2011 - December 18 (2009)

    Bonus guessing game - guess the boat and port we'll be sailing out of in Jan 2023!

    I'm guessing we'll still be on Royal Caribbean, and we'll sail on the Freedom out of Miami :)

    +1
    I'll even predict the sail date as either the 9th or 30th (since they're the cheapest in the month, except for the 2nd).

    I agree with your pick 100%.

    I don't see 70K sailing on any other line than Royal Caribbean, he has a relationship with them. Also, the RC Freedom class is really the only ship that would work layout wise. On top of that Miami/Fort Lauderdale are the perfect ports since the airports there are right for international flights.

    The Freedom makes perfect sense. It is a new boat, for 70K, while still being the same class of ship as the Liberty and Independence.

    He's talking about a new port next year and I think the list of available, unvisited ports is growing rather thin. My guess for the port of call will be Perfect Day at CocoCay. A lot of the music cruises are going there.

    Date wise for the Freedom the below are available for 4 day cruises...

    1/2, 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, 1/30
    2/6, 2/13, 2/20, 2/27

    My guess is 70K2023 will sail from Miami on Jan 9 onboard the Freedom of the Seas for CocoCay.

    Nice detective work!

    While I would prefer a cruise later in January or early February like earlier 70ks (flights from Australia are far cheaper) - I'm hoping that flights will still be 'cheap enough' late December/early Jan this time around due to covid and the airlines needing to encourage people to travel again.

    Sailing out of Miami definitely not the worst thing in the world. Saves either staying in FLL which is a bit of a dump, or having to commute up there as most people stay in Miami anyway.

    And CocoCay - hell yes I'm alllllll for CocoCay as our destination!

    That's what I'm guessing too.
    I wonder if they will use the private island for a concert, like Voragos was scheduled to.
    Not a big show at night, just something casual in the afternoon.

    Although CocoCay is a tender port (get there by small boat from the ship), which would be a problem.

    CocoCay has a pier that can handle more than 1 ship. I would love to go there. I usually just relax and like to sit on the beach on our port day. Too tired to go sight seeing or do excursions.

    Oh right, they built a pier in June 2018, so no more tender. Coolio.

    Very similar. tend to just rest up on the boat on shore day but would definitely make an exception for coco, especially if my son comes along with me again :P There is no WAY he would let me stay on the boat :P

    I just got this comment on Facebook from 70K regarding when we are sailing again..

    "A day that falls within the month January of next year, 2023."

    So there's that!

    That leaves the following dates... 1/2, 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, 1/30. I am still guessing 1/9!

    mbob wrote: Wed Feb 02, 2022 12:46 pm I agree with your pick 100%.

    I don't see 70K sailing on any other line than Royal Caribbean, he has a relationship with them. Also, the RC Freedom class is really the only ship that would work layout wise. On top of that Miami/Fort Lauderdale are the perfect ports since the airports there are right for international flights.

    The Freedom makes perfect sense. It is a new boat, for 70K, while still being the same class of ship as the Liberty and Independence.

    He's talking about a new port next year and I think the list of available, unvisited ports is growing rather thin. My guess for the port of call will be Perfect Day at CocoCay. A lot of the music cruises are going there.

    Date wise for the Freedom the below are available for 4 day cruises...

    1/2, 1/9, 1/16, 1/23, 1/30
    2/6, 2/13, 2/20, 2/27

    My guess is 70K2023 will sail from Miami on Jan 9 onboard the Freedom of the Seas for CocoCay.

    Freedom of the Seas is out. RC is booking for every date in Jan for cruises. I am thinking we will be on a different line this time as the contract ran out. I don't see any of RC's other ships that are not booked being big enough for us. Hope I am wrong, I really enjoy RC and Independence. I think they treated us very well.

    That happens every year. Those cruises are booked and on sale years in advance. Once a charter reserves a date and a ship anyone who has already booked a cabin will be cancelled. This is normal. So Freedom is still on the table.

    Yeah, as an example, Monsters of Rock Cruise chartered a ship that also did 4&3-day cruises, booked 5 days, and left a 2-day cruise, which never happens normally.
    Those who had booked before have the choice to rebook any date they like.

    It's totally new! They've doubtless replaced the goth club with more cabins, tossed in a teppanyaki place, and more! :)

    I'm hoping it's not the Liberty. The buffet on Liberty was terrible.

    I'm guessing we'll still be on Royal Caribbean, and we'll sail on the Freedom out of Miami :)
    Agree! Freedom would technically be a new ship even if it's identical or almost identical to Liberty and Indy. To me Miami would be a good port too because I've always stayed at Miami Beach for few days before and after the cruise and also the flight connections to Miami are better than to FLL.

    I don't see us going on a smaller ship because even though many people might still be a bit afraid to travel or unsure about regulations, vaccine passports etc, I've understood that generally there's a lot of piled up travel demand because many people haven't been able to travel. Some have even talked about "revenge travel" meaning that now is finally the time to do that once-in-a-lifetime dream vacation that has been postponed so many times etc.

    But on the other hand I don't see us going on a much bigger ship either. Firstly because really none of the biggest RCC ships seem to have a suitable pool deck at least from what I've seen in photos. And secondly because the ship would be more expensive and before the pandemic someone posted some RCC charter prices here and the minimum charter cruise for the biggest ships was 7 nights cruise.

    Destination-wise I'd enjoy the beach and waterslides etc at CocoCay but also it would be nice to have a chance for some cultural activity. In Labadee I went to an excursion with some traditional Haitian handicraft and music in 2019 and a diving trip back in 2017.

    I'd guess Andy's "possibly even a new destination" doesn't necessarily mean a completely new "70K never visited" port but perhaps just that Jamaica wasn't available or good enough for some reason and thus "a new destination" because it's not that what was announced back in January 2020. But I don't know what ports actually would be possible considering the travel time from South Florida and suitable piers for the ship we'll sail on.

    This is what I posted around Xmas to the "Round 11 sails in January 2023" thread:
    I'm also curious about the new ship. If it's still Royal Caribbean I'd guess either of Indy's sisters, because the bigger Oasis ships don't have similar pool deck (the ship is open in the middle), but Harmony sails from Port Everglades and Oasis from Miami.

    According to RCC's website Indy is sailing from Orlando in January 2023, so I'd guess we'll really go on another boat if and when 70K still will depart from South Florida. Indy's sister Liberty sails from Port Everglades and the third sister Freedom from Miami.
    And back to the original point, my guess is that the first band announcement comes on June 15th. (very close to my birthday but not the exact date) :headbanger: :D

    Oh wait, you guys mean the first actual *band* announcement? I thought you meant the *sailing dates* announcement.
    In that case, I'd like to change my guess to August 25th, please.

    The "new ship" announcement is what made me disqualify the Liberty.
    It's totally new! They've doubtless replaced the goth club with more cabins, tossed in a teppanyaki place, and more! :)

    I'm hoping it's not the Liberty. The buffet on Liberty was terrible.
    Rock Legends Cruise, that has historically sailed on the Indy from Fort Lauderdale, is sailing on the Liberty in 2023, with one stop in Coco Bay instead of the 3 normally scheduled.
    Therefore I'm now with you, I think that's what 70K will do too, even though technically it's not a "new" ship.

      I was thinking we might be on the Freedom instead.

      In any event, I'd really love it if we could go to CocoCay. There will be some people who will complain that it's not far enough away, or exotic enough, but there are several good reasons why UMC would be wise to choose it.

      1. If the winds are too strong to assemble the pool deck stage (like they were in 2020), it's close enough that they wouldn't have to pay Royal an extra charge for fuel due to sailing "with the wind" for several hours. (As I recall, it was a $10,000 surcharge.)
      2. We could sail a lot more slowly and leisurely, reducing the amount of wind impacting the ship...and the pool-deck stage.
      3. It's a completely new stop and with the dock finished there, "Perfect Day At CocoCay" is a cool place to visit.

      Yes, people have been complaining about "high speed=high winds" to go to Jamaica for years, let alone the extra fuel cost that must be $$$ right now.
      Cococay is at spit's distance from Florida, and about 1/10th the distance to Jamaica.

      Here's the grim reaper making its first appearance. And with a mighty swing of its scythe, cowboy71's head has been chopped off.

      Tiki108 is next on the reaper's list
