OK, now that I'm officially on vacation I can start bitching like some on you on this forum Uh-oh. If YOU're starting to bitch, it must be getting Really Serious. C'mon Andy. Put up or shut up. Either announce 24 fucking bands, or announce our onboard credit and future cruise discount for not meeti...

That gives me hope for more Tampa-Death-Metal acts! :mrgreen: Brutality Massacre Morbid Angel/Vltimas Obituary... Obituary isnt able to play this round unfortunately At this point, I wonder if he'd be willing to bend the "no repeats from previous year" rule just to get bands on the boat. He certain...

Let's see.... Devin Townsend -- all of Ocean Machine . It's my favorite album of all time, after all! :lol: Since that's unlikely, I'd settle for a few songs from it. Would also like to hear some Ziltoid material (I'm bringing a damned puppet :D ) and a few others, like "Grace," "Kingdom" and some s...

Last gig: Sigh, Demolition Hammer, Deceased, Morta Skuld, Imprecation, Vesterian, etc. Sigh was even better than I'd been expecting (sorry, Gratch).

Next gig: at this point, probably Washy-Washy on the boat. (Their performances start even before the bands' do. )

Here is hoping that things are much closer to being on track then we realize.

From your soon-to-be-overworked fingers to Andy's ears.....

Would ya’ll recommend Tulum or Chichen Itza? I was leaning towards Chichen Itza but the excursion page says it includes 6 hours of travel time :shock: :shock: :shock: Given the little time we have on Cozumel, I'd suggest Tulum. Hell, I wouldn't even go out of Cozumel, the island itself has many gre...

but this year in particular has been a shit-show, and the slow sales are indicative of that. And yet, unfortunately, it is very close to selling out. Damn, we don't learn... THIS. OOOOOH SO THIS :P I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't manually marking some categories as sold out, just for the hyp...

WOW. Online check in before 40% of the lineup is known. This is gonna take some beating in future years..... But 20 days out is great ,I think this might be a notion of defeat for selling more cabins.I imagine sending the information to Royal Caribbean before Christmas was another motivation,2 holi...

Comparisons to the Fyre Festival are unwarranted,that was the initial run and it was fairly clear it was a scam all along. Ehh, it wasn't all THAT obvious. Fyre's video promos -- very professional, very sumptuous -- certainly made it look like it would be an amazing experience. Things began falling...

He always comes through in the end. Try to sit back and enjoy the ride. There hasn't been anything to enjoy for a long time. People are mad. Let them be mad. Don't you see how stupid it is to complain about something you're willingly participating in? Nobody's being forced to go. Uh, in point of fa...

did some digging on the Royal Caribbean site and found these excursions listed: Dune Buggy Snorkel & Beach with member(s) of Bands ORIGIN and ATHEIST Deluxe Beach Break and Playa Mia Water Park with member(s) of Band GRAVE DIGGER Adventure at Punta Sur Eco-Park with Member(s) of TROLLFEST Mayan Las...

Radio silence from the 70K social media machine since the 7th of December too. Under a month to go, should be out there daily, amping up the excitement levels. But no, nothing. Just crickets and tumbleweeds. Dunno why "crickets and tumbleweeds" doesn't capitalize their band-name, but what genre are...

Total Cabins, by my count: 1961 Total Cabins, according to cruisedeckplans website: 1918 Total Cabins in sold out categories: 1741 (includes 2N) **Previously sold out. Only 1 or 2 left. If I'm reading this correctly, the ship is VERY close to selling out again, isn't it? Yep - don't know what or wh...

Hola! Speaking of day trips in Mexico. Um, is there a ferry across to Playa Del Carmen we can take to the temples like Bopa and Tulum? Or are we sailors just stuck on Cozumel for the day? Yep, there are ferries, as that highly informative post stated. HOWEVER, if you want to go to Tulum or Xcaret o...

I don't have the time to toss one of these together at the moment, but these are some really nice looking lists. Wildly unrealistic, but nice looking nonetheless. Yep. And while I'd love for B.O.C. to be onbroad, I'm pretty sure Andy can't or won't meet their guarantee. :lol: . . Seems very unlikel...

The amount of bitching here is too damn high More than justified, if you ask me. Concur. This year has been a shit-show, plain and simple. I hesitated to compare 70K with the Fyre Festival a while back because, at that time, 70K hadn't opened bookings and didn't have any of our money. Well, now the...

Yeah, this week was the week I was really feeling it coming, and I am a bit surprised that we've heard nothing yet. It's frustrating cause I just wanna keep this hype train going, and its confusing cause each day it gets harder to sell those last few cabins. But we do have the first ever headline t...

#whynotboth ?

Yeah double tags. I like it

For my 2 cents worth , why not do the pink flamingo with the grim reaper , sounds very unique .

Both designs are unique. --And fun.

EDENBRIDGE and HAVOK listed in a 70K advert in a french magazine so that's a pretty solid rumor :P I remember in 2017 a magazine ad leaked two bands in the midst of a drought, but one of them (Candlemass) was never announced. So I wouldn't be surprised if one of these two bands have dropped, which ...

Surely they would have to have put aside cabins for 60 bands before public booking starts though? I could see the occasional surprise when you book an orchestra, but I doubt Andy is just allocating them now, because what if it had sold out already? Yeah I agree hat they would have cabins put aside ...

I say we use the other sticker design this time, the one with the Grim Reaper on a pink flamingo float. What say you?

Sounds cool!

Do you have it as a file lying around somewhere?

#whynotboth ?

Grand Suites are suddenly gone. Does that translate to some big name bands being signed? We can only hope. Or maybe they've moved some bands/VIPs to Grand Suites to free up less expensive rooms for bookings. Might be too little too late at this point unless your hypothesis is correct and they're bo...

Do many people take a taxi to go a little beyond the immediate area ? How has that worked out ? Yes, unlike at Grand Turk or Labadee, there is no beach right by the cruise pier at Cozumel (and at most ports, really). Taxi rates aren't too outrageous, and are set by law. There is a large sign after ...

I'll do my best to be there, for sure! Is the place 100% decided yet? I won't have any cash for stickers btw. Hopefully someone will step up and make free stickers (or cards or something) for us. If someone needs to charge for 'em, hell...I'll gladly buy ya a $2 or $3 sticker. $5 is RIGHT OUT, thou...

Gee, a 30-day post from the Skipper, with no mention of any problems or other issues that would cause an announcement drought with 20+ bands left and less than a month to go. :evil: I haven’t followed the room availability very closely in years past but it feels like there are a lot of rooms left wi...

I would be more likely to assume that they are not playing, as they are playing an event which is informally associated with 70K. It would be kinda weird for them to play an informal pre event then to play the actual cruise as well. Or is that just me? No it’s not just you haha, I kinda thought the...

I'm on the fence about doing this for a few reasons. It's my first time, so I wanna explore everything. and the other is I know my wife doesn't give a shit about you people, and won't want to waste time doing this, lol. lol. By the time 3 pm rolls around, you'll have had enough time to explore ever...

Another reason why I didn't want to do it for all the categories :P Figured doing once or twice on those two categories doesn't hurt much, considering those cabins have been sitting there available for weeks and weeks now :) EXACTLY. It's not like people are breaking down the doors to book 70K room...

VERY MINOR update. I'm removing the * from the 1N category as there are at LEAST 3 of these available now.
3B I'm leaving with the * as there appears to be only one of those.

It'll be interesting to see if this changes after the "drop-dead no refunds at all" deadline comes up in a few days.

Now I need to talk my PPUSA boat-friends into having THAT group photo at a different time. :D This year it worked. Wasn't the PPUSA pic at 3:45pm-4:00pm? I think so. It was on the helipad at the very front of the ship. Unfortunately, very far from the back. :twisted: I believe Alexander T. is the p...

I'm in for 3pm in VC. I'll just bring up a bucket of beer from the Schooner. Awesome!

Totally! Saw them on that 2015 cruise too! Even though I don't like that small theater they played. I think they played a first-day show in the theater or the ice-rink, and it was awesome. As I hazily recall, that was the site of the infamous Big Red Dog incident. Important safety tip: please don't...

But what for? What is their advantage in late announcements? Is it because of the interest rate on the bank or what? I don´t understand this weird tactic, not to tell consuments what they are buying! 1 or 2 surprise acts are okay. But why are we not allowed to know which bands we are goin to see on...

I have one positive comment , the line staff for 70000 Tons that answer the phones and give guidance are always very positive and helpful ! :cheers: :viking: Absolutely THIS. And also the folks who handle the emails. I had a problem with my email on the morning Gold sales started. They were able to...

This is still the best festival out there Well, THAT's pretty fucking arguable.... Name another major festival that pulls the same announcement-delay bullshit that 70K does. And if announcements are delayed because bands just haven't been contacted yet...calling this the "best" festival out there i...

Melechesh are out! They begin a tour in January, starting in Germany on the 10th! https://www.facebook.com/melechesh/photos/rpp.106561116046/10157539301321047/?type=3&theater :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I saw an old melechesh shirt in my closet the other day and I was like, they seem like a band that w...

I definitely think having the cruise so early in January is a huge problem for a lot of people. It is for us and we live in Florida! The prices going up and the announcement process hurts as well. The other thing is people just get bored and move on. Progpower kind of went through this around year ...

is there a free shuttle from FLL? I thought i read that somewhere. The hotel I'm at has a shuttle to/from the airport so I was thinking of just taking that to the airport then the airport shuttle to the port Ramada Airport/Cruise Port motel has a shuttle like that. Picked me up at the airport, back...

Aeternam has responded to a comment on FB indicating that if they were invited they would be here. While I know Andy tries to keep the 2 year repeats to a 3-4 band minimum, they were really well received last time so I hope they come back again! They are highly ranked on the wishlist as well. I'm t...
