The pleasure was all ours Andy!

Thanks to you and yours for all you've provided us!

Still cracking up over your comment to us on the last night to just keep posting wishlists, keep bitching and all will be well. Rest assured, I trust that all of these things will continue :lol:

Hoping you get to enjoy at least a little downtime now after all your hard work. Have a great 2012 man! :headbanger:

Thanks Andy.

You looked surprisingly well whenever I saw you (quickly) walk by on board.

by **Skwizgar** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 5:05 pm

Some things a little less perfect than last year, but other things moreso.

All up though, an epic cruise.

Thanks to everyone at UMC for all the hard work!!

And thank you Andy, Allison, Blake, Robin and Aaron for participating in my sad face pics, I really enjoyed my little project and it gave me an opportunity to meet SO MANY people! Also, Andy, yours was awesome and I'll post it here when I get the chance haha

No downtime, let's start with Barge band announcements. :lol:

I need a few specific carrots for a guaranteed booking to occur. And I want to book and not be in "mental limbo" until what I need is announced. :headbanger:

by **mooyagi** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 7:06 pm

Thank you Andy and the UMC crew! This was yet another fantastic trip onbroad the Majesty of the Seas. I loved every moment of the trip. Got the chance to talk to Blake and Allison and every time I saw you skip, you were running by looking very busy. All the effort was much appreciated. I see that you folks really took care to listen to what we, the obnoxious customers, had to say. Fantastic job and kudos to you all. See you again SOON!

:cheers:

by **Azazel101** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 7:11 pm

Thank You!
Thank You so vary much!!!!
Can not wait till round 3 wheather it be Barge or 70,000 Tons

by **vikingbitch** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 7:24 pm

I don't even know where to begin saying thank you, although I guess I can start for taking the time Andy/Allison/Blake/Aaron to say hello! It was great to finally meet you all, shame you were all running around and so busy - you all really do deserve a holiday (after announcing everything you have on Barge to Hell

).

Cheers, love and well wishes your way for another fantastic year! :bangers:

Thank you Andy for creating this damn thing!!!! Winning!!!

by **sageoftruth** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 7:34 pm

I concur. Thank you Andy. This was a very enlightening experience for me. I learned about several groups I had never heard of before, and I learned to better appreciate the bands from genres I normally don't listen to. I also met lots of great people and learned to better appreciate the culture that comes with metal. Thanks for the opportunity.

by **KDibildeaux** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 7:36 pm

Thank you Andy and the rest of the UMC crew! this was once again an amazing journey! I loved every minute of if and am really looking forward to going again next time around. It was also really nice meeting Allison and Blake. Hope you get to have some well deserved rest. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I didn't think it was possible to have as much fun as last year, but I am pretty sure it happened. Andy thanks for bringing together awesome metal fans from all over the world! Hope I can make it on all the cruises!

by **nikki1077** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 9:58 pm

by **Gandalf** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 10:32 pm

It was a pleasure, really, once again :bangers:

by **tmcasper** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 11:24 pm

Yeah let me throw my thanks in once again...Andy and crew, thanks for all the hard work!!! I can't fathom how stressful it must be throughout the year to deal with all these bands, get them onbroad, and then schedule everything out so that you handle all the egos, satisfy all the promises...etc...A JOB WELL DONE!! :cheers:

by **Ogre** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 1:39 am

Was great to see so many faces again and meet so many new ones.

by **Rayzor** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 10:10 am

Another awesome time, thanks to all involved. I can only imagine how much work this must be for the handful of people at UMC, great job!

by **Uncle Soda** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 10:16 am

Andy, and every single person on the team - massive thanks from here as well. It was our virgin cruise and it was un-bee-lievable all way round. Can't wait for the next one. :bangers:

by **strangeways** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 12:37 pm

Had a great time and will be back again next year!

by **Goddess of Metal** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 1:02 pm

Andy I know I told you onbroad and I will tell you again. What you have created here is incredibly special. I am so grateful for the amazing friendships, two trips of a lifetime (so far), getting to see bands I thought I would never see, and all the awesome band performances. You and your crew did a fantastic job! Thank you so much!! :cheers:

by **Keuf** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 4:37 pm

by **Warphine** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 4:39 pm

Thanks Andy and the UMC crew! This trip was truly something special and I had the time of my life on it. I had so much fun that I'm suffering from 70k withdrawals... lol.

Can't wait to do it again, not sure when that will be, but I will be back again in the future.

by **torpedo20** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 6:17 pm

Andy,

I'm glad that I finally got to meet you in person and thank you for the trip of a lifetime (twice!!!)
Your entire crew deserves a round of applause and this >>>> :shots:

Thank you so much and we will meet again.

I'm pretty sure I saw you several times but wasn't sure if it was you :oops:

by **Stained Class** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 9:16 pm

Thank you so much Andy and UMC! I can't wait to see what the future holds for UMC and I assure you I will be there!

by **Stained Class** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 9:32 pm

My wishlist if 40 bands long, hopefully you'll be able to get a couple of them. I think last year you only hit a couple of my wishlist although my wishlist changed a lot and a lot of the bands onbroad I hadn't listened to and they are now among my favourites (Amorphis, Eluveitie).

I feel the same about you! I honestly had a really hard time finding forumites. I didn't get one sucessful nap in all cruise so I only made it to Karaoke sparingly (which is where I assume everyone was)

I wore a black kilt on the third day with a Rotting Christ shirt. I also tend to headbang a lot by myself :)

If i could figure out how to share pictures of things on the forum i would (other than using a URL)
