    With today’s Facebook announcement starts with a clue possibly? ‘We’re on a 24-Hour schedule on board” ,I am holding some hope on my theory on August 22nd and the fact that both Shiprocked and 70k announments start the exact number of days before the cruise due to some obscure rule relating to temporary musicians on a cruise ship.Hope will be dashed tomorrow!

    When nothing else is going on, we will just put out new theories. :mrgreen:

    Will there be a Slayer-themed special room on every deck? Maybe that is the reason they haven't updated the deck plans. Yes, I think that must be it. ;)

    I would venture that if no announcement is made by Oct 1st, then there was likely logistical issues, and consequently no cruise next year. There would probably be some lame announcement, such as, " ,,,Sorry cruisers, but fear not, we will be back next year twice as good,,," that is fine, mayhem festival cruise was cancelled one year, but the dick over, is , if one knew in a professional courteous manner, then could have done something else, eg monsters of rock, while vastly inferior, still ok. Hey, either way , within 6 weeks we will know for sure. In overall scheme of things, not that majority important anyways.

    My prediction for band announcements is Feb 5. They’re going to theme this one the Trivia Cruise where the cruisers fill out the schedule after the fact with no information given about who is on stage at any time. We’ll rush from stage to stage for four days and make our guess as to which band we are looking at. Whoever is closest to the actual schedule wins a free cruise in 2020.

    As the old saying goes, they have well and truly painted themselves into a corner.

    The lineup will have to be literally the best ever or people are going to mutiny and throw the skipper over broad.

    My guess is that advertising campaign was ready, everything highlighting Spinal Tap as headliner with 4 shows. Just to have one more. Then as usual, they had to start looking for a new drummer. Also Stonehenge stage set wasn't compatible with boat's size. Now boat has to be enlarged.

    The latest today: “Patrick, take a deep breath. It's all gonna happen, the wait actually means we've gotta bring it harder. We've got you.”

    They also posted yesterday when someone asked "so when are you announcing bands", just the words "As soon as possible".

    Which is interesting, and is either a diversion or hints at some sort of issue that needs to get resolved before they can announce anything.

    So we're not hearing anything until October :P

    Guys, just relax, it will come when it comes. Does it REALLY matter? Sit back and enjoy the memes.

    At this point I don't care anymore if it happens in three days, three weeks or three months. Because it will happen. Yes, it is HORRENDOUS, AMATEURISH, LAME, PATHETIC management we're seeing here and it gets worse every year, but there's not much you can do about it so again... Sit back and enjoy the show.

    Huh, yeah, that IS a fascinating choice of words on their part. Why can't "ASAP" be, like, today? Or tomorrow?

    The need to actually sign N bands before announcing any is the kind of unbounded task that could be a mathematical explanation.
    The question of course, would be why?
    - Because Andy said "we'll announce as soon as we have N bands to announce"?
    - Because one of the potential headliners said: "show me N bands before we commit"?

    Because we've been left waiting so long, I just bought the daughter her first car with money that would have enabled me to pay for a cabin in full.

    So now that I can't really afford to do that until my next pay, I expect an announcement tomorrow :P

    I just bought a new car too. I’m now something less than 100% likely to go. Not sure how less. For last year’s lineup, I probably wouldn’t now.
