No. The Cruise Line does not permit any food or beverage to be brought on board. Alcoholic beverages will not be sold or served to anyone under the age of 21. The Cruise Line reserves the right to refuse the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone. Alcoholic beverages purchased in the ship’s duty free shops will be retained by the Cruise Line until the end of the voyage.

When will the Running Order be available?

The Running Order for 70000TONS OF METAL® will be posted soon after all Artists have been announced. Performances will take place at multiple venues on board the ship. Every Artist will perform two shows on two different days. We want to make sure that you’ll be able to see each and every band on board perform an entire show, so no two bands will perform at the same time twice.

Are cameras allowed on board?

The use of Pocket and Cell Phone Cameras are permitted at all performances on board.

For everyone’s comfort, the use of Tablet Computers and Laptops are not allowed at any performances.

The use of Professional Photo Cameras with detachable lenses, video cameras as well as audio recording devices are NOT permitted during any performances on board without a valid Press Pass. If you are a media professional interested in covering this event, please visit our Press Inquiries page.

What sort of activities will be planned on the ship besides live shows?

Many Artists will be part of something special on board. Since this is one of the most intimate Metal Festivals to ever take place, we feel it’s important for those taking part to experience things they wouldn’t otherwise be a part of. Music workshops, Meet and Greet sessions with each and every Artist, karaoke, fan friendly events and other forms of non-music entertainment will be plentiful on board! Make sure to check out our infamous Belly Flop contest, Jamming in International Waters (All-Star Jam), and 70000TONS® OF KARAOKE until sunrise at the Solarium.

Can I bring my own memorabilia to get signed by the Artists on board?

Yes! You are welcome to bring your memorabilia to get it signed. Every band will have an official signing session.

What can we do when we get off the ship?

Land and Shore Excursions can be booked through Royal Caribbean as soon as you receive your invitation for Online Check-in, or they can be booked on board at the Explorations! Desk. Prices will vary depending on the type of Shore Excursion you decide to take part in.

What dining options are available?

All restaurants will have open seating and there is no shortage of food on board!
