    Do you have a Band? Bring your merch!

    by Mr.Kito » Thu Sep 08, 2022 9:30 am

    I was thinking about this...

    Every year I see people bringing their own band's EP, CD, Demo, etc.

    So, for all of us, survivors that play/sing in a band, let's meet up and talk about our bands, share our merch and connect with bands all around the world!

    As far as I know, there's no "Survivor's Band Meet Up" so lets try to make it happen!

    I'm completely onboard with this. I'll bring our EP. It'll be finished before the cruise starts.

    Great idea! I wish it was possible to have a „jam room“ onboard where fellow musicians could meet and jam…

    You might want to keep this on the down-low.

    Merch sales on the boat are "supposed to" go through the cruise line so they can get their venue "cut." I remember being grilled by one of the merch folk about a Melechesh tee I was wearing in 2015. "DID YOU BUY THAT ON THE BOAT?!?!" "No, I got it at one of their shows, when they played in Atlanta." Which was true.
    --But, they were VERY accusatory at first because I'm sure UMC has a contractual obligation that ALL merch sales must go through Royal's point-of-sale system and they thought the band might have been trying to bypass that. This is the reason why festival tees and hoodies are not available by mail-order.

    A few years later I remember a band WAS selling merch out of their stateroom. Not sure if anything happened, but I note that band has not been re-booked since.

    I think it's a GREAT idea in theory, but I worry that it might expose UMC to a contractual violation even despite the fact that our cruisers' bands aren't actually playing the boat.
