Still working on my wishlist. I also want to give time to bands I have not heard before, so I will take my time before posting.

It is obvious Dark Matter and Spoil Engine are the winners. I just mentioned Without Waves cuz I liked them more

No more voting. Let this be the first year we get a tie in Cripper Bands

It is what it is. I also agree on leaving it that way, even though I would consider adding Without Waves in the tie.

Each band gets half a jacket

Shining - Blackjazz 10th Anniversary Reissue LP (God, I hate vinyl but I wanna support Jorgen)

A tie between Dark Matter and Spoil Engine..... I would definitely choose Dark Matter, then

Did we give up on the vest thing, if not that makes it more problematic. I think we did give up. Never saw such vest, anyway. This is more like a symbolic award between us forum users. Asking for fb votes is not a good idea imo. If there is a triple-tie, then so be it. Poll is not closed yet Masacr...

I am curious where in the Caribbean were you brought up ? How old were you during those years ?

I was raised in Venezuela for almost 30 years since I was a baby. We have ridiculous beaches down there

There is only ONE cruise, the original, the biggest heavy metal cruise .....

... but if you're into other ones, fine. Let us know how it goes

Not a clear winner imo, looks like these 3 bands got all our attention depending on personal taste

I'm not gonna describe each year. All of them have been absolutely amazing. Great bands and great friends. That's it

What is at Turks? I got off, walked on the beach, went in whatever restaurants were there and took a look, realized there wasn't shit else, then got back on the ship. Grand Turk has one of the most amazing beaches I've ever seen. And this is coming from a guy that was raised in the caribbean. If yo...

Post #1000, yeah!

Then British Lion on Wednesday?

Same day as Machine Head, so no

Last gig: The Native Howl
Next gig: Machine Head

So how did Cozumel meet your expectations? As an american-born guy raised in Venezuela, I got used to good caribbean beaches so I got high standards. I was somehow disappointed with the beaches in Cozumel. To be fair, it was raining so that did not help at all with my first impression. First I visit...

Go, Be'lakor! 2021 HAS to be the year we get them on the boat

My guess is July 23rd

boy that last day sure was fuckin' windy. Emperor had to put socks on their mics

Glad I saw the Theater set, then. Did not make it to the pool deck. I like Emperor, but not that much

#whynotWilderun ?

They were superb. And -- at least for now -- unsigned...although I expect that to change post-Boat.

They already got famous before the boat. That and >10k listeners on last.fm

Is Wilderun ineligible due to last.fm listeners? Otherwise I'd think they would qualify. They are unsigned.

Not only they surpass the 10k listeners, they have already become "quite famous" with their latest album before they got on the boat

Pellaz posted a couple more pictures on Facebook. I will try to upload them here tonite (those look better and have additional people)

ProgPower USA XXI is the only other festival I plan on attending this year

OUT! - All bands from 70k 2019 (because, that's the way it is, baby)

U mean all bands from 70K 2020

I wonder where this hot tub party was...

My vote went to Without Waves. Quite impressed with these guys. Managed to watch their Star Lounge set

Jamaica (imo) is a bit of a let down for destination 2021.

Is it worse than Labedee? I hear a lot of negative opinions about Jamaica

Is anyone actually doing this for the destination? For a cruise as expensive as this one, I always care about the destination. What I really like doing is exploring new places, in that sense I have to admit Cozumel was fine because we had the freedom to explore, unlike Labadee where you are confine...

Final list of candidates:

Dark Matter
FirstBourne
Spoil Engine
Without Waves
Zero Theorem

Let's launch the poll, bodomdragon!

We had a nice turnout this year at the Viking Crown. I believe some people from the Discord gaming chat community also joined us, hence the increased number of unknown people around

Last gig: Carach Angren on the boat
Next gig (if work and health allows it): The Native Howl

Well, this was a nice Round X. Lineup was as good as any of the previous years, with lots of great options. Had a blast with friends. Cozumel was kinda meh and disappointing imo

I'm gonna need more time to get my wishlist published. Way too soon

Regardless if there is an additional announcement to be made, this Round X is in the sack. I still cannot believe the amount of bitching. In my opinion there are solid bands worth the cruise. You can't get them all and you can't please everybody. Glad that I got at least 4 bands from my wishlist tha...

Hell yeah.

First time on board and blessed with 100% of my wish list.
Thanks 666 times.

Welcome, stormsleeper. You will have the time of your life on this boat

So we have three Cripper bands so far. I say let's keep the Award for this Round X
