I received an offer a couple days ago from Holland America about multiple Alaska cruises starting early July.
They’re offering *free* interior cabins.

Also this now:

If you refresh the page, they replaced "Next departure:" with "Coming #SOON!"

2021
Jotunheimr: January 6th
Fulorian: July 12th

Odds are starting to look good for Fulorian...

Agreed cardest. What a fucking joke!

Website offline for a WEEK and they couldn't be bothered giving even the slightest update for us?

They did announce that the website was going down. Pray they don’t alter the deal any further

At Sea and in life, unpredictable storms can arise and we have to stand our ground and wait for the high winds to pass.

Prophetic.

Watch out for bands, Survivor Pre-Sale and Public Sale dates which will be announced SOON!

Not prophetic.

More recently, I would add POWER TRIP and ALIEN WEAPONRY to my list of regrets.

Looks like we pivot and sort by date for our guesses. I completely forgot.

After 10 years, what band do you wish had played the boat, but still can’t understand why they never did? For me it’s unquestionably SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, it feels like they played every other music cruise but this one. They played MegaCruise and it was the funnest pool deck show I've ever witnessed...

Godflesh: September 31st (same as my previous guess)

Watch UMC print magazine ads with all these bands before announcing the whole cruise is canceled

It'd be like that "fighting through the terminal" scene in the movie Airplane.

Shit wrong thread, but see your reply to me in the “Shore excursions” thread.

LOL.
This is why I'm glad this cruise doesn't go to Nassau. What a hellhole.

Recycling

Don’t forget all the seats removed, that can pack a few hundred, plus the overflow.
They key word being “seats”.
I think 1800 is accurate.

Wikipedia says the theater seats 1200, but CruiseMapper says 1320.

Wow, your timing is absolute shit. WTF, you have been at this for over 10 years and you announce this during a global pandemic with most cruise lines shutting down. No offense, but you all need to get help running this thing. The cruise is great once on board....before hand, not so much. I'm guessi...

Well maybe a bright side is flights will be cheaper at that time of year this time around thanks to the world going to hell? Although the Australian Dollar tanking counteracts that. Will definitely have to adopt a "wait and see" stance for now. It’s sad that after all these years, we’re now forced ...

Funny how gathering 5000 people on a cruise ship seems surreal now.

“Son, this is what used to be called a "cruise ship”.”

Get BIOHAZARD onbroad!

MORC first announcements of bands: Alice Cooper with Crazy Lixx, Eclipse, Kix, L.A. Guns, Lit, Loudness, Michael Monroe, Pat Travers, Pink Cream 69, Rose Tattoo, Saxon, Skid Row, Tom Keifer and XYZ. Not that any of them would be considered for 2021, but they are now out. SAXON has been on 70K, and ...

Website still down.

Hmm their website (https://hellandheavenfest.com/) is still down "for maintenance" since at least yesterday morning.

LIPSNOT at least is definitely ruled out, since they have their own cruise.

Probably won't rule them out for 70K, but the first bands for Slipknot's "Knotfest at Sea" Cruise in August: Slipknot Behemoth Anthrax Devildriver Sevendust Skindred If there’s a 6 month “no other cruise” clause, that would rule them out until February. But didn’t someone (Bob or mbob) say about Me...

This thread was not pinned, so I thought at once it was not 70K related. Meh

I was just pointing out that the competition has announced dates and ship, and then I got accused of trolling. So unfair!

January 18-23, 2021 onboard the Carnival Magic.

Shitrocked announced this today.

Is this a rumor, or do we have reason to believe this is real?

It’s real, I received an email.

Yup, some funny comments there. The drinking age and the scam made me laugh :lol: HAHAHAHAHHA :shock: Also, Wacken 2009 was end July/start August and apparently 70k had a presence there that year so that was possibly the official 'public' start of the 70K Juggernaut. I was at Wacken that year and I...

None of the other ships offer 4 day cruises (according to Cruise Planner), although occasionally they split a 7 day cruise into 4 and 3, so technically it’s possible.
It looks like Andy has no choice but January 7-11 again, unless he manages to negotiate with RCI to accommodate him on another ship.

Royal Caribbean will not do back-to-back music charters.

Didn’t we have one of the classic rock cruises just after us one year?
Where did you hear that? Any explanation? (Honestly curious)

Thanks. BTW, you did de-dupe “12 FOOT NINJA” and TWELVE FOOT NINJA” in your spreadsheet, didn’t you?

I forgot ZEAL & ARDOR, Statsman.

I would love to see the CAVALERAs play a full NAILBOMB show like they did in 2017, but SOULFLY was on the boat last year.
Perhaps they could come as CAVALERA CONSPIRACY?

I'll give you 5 - had Death Angel categorised wrong.

I don't class AW as thrash though. Groove maybe, heavy prog even maybe.

Alright, it’s more groove than thrash. SEPULTURA equivalent, but past their pure thrash period.

As least it was somewhere else, or not: 2011 Cozumel, Mexico 2012 George Town on Grand Cayman island of the Cayman Islands 2013 Cockburn Town, Turks and Caicos Islands 2014 Costa Maya, Mexico 2015 Ocho Rios, Jamaica 2016 Falmouth, Jamaica 2017 Labadee, ...

I wonder how many people care about the destination.
Perhaps Slayergeek could add it as an event, to track attendees.
