We will be sailing out of Miami in the late afternoon. While you wait for departure, grab a drink and explore the ships many amenities. You will most likely run into some of your favorite artists before we have even left port. After all, it’s like everyone has a backstage pass! Relax in one of the pools and enjoy dinner at the à la carte restaurant. The live shows start in the early evening and will extend late into the night while we set course for the beautiful Cayman Islands!

A whole day spent on the Open Seas while we sail around Cuba. Enjoy tons of live shows on three stages all day and night long. Headbang in the hot-tub while you watch your favorite band play on the pool-deck stage or check out some of the workshops and clinics with the musicians on board. Loose some money in the casino and get in shape at the onboard fitness center or in one of the bars that never close. Repeat: Bars that never close! All  while you have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with your favorite artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison.

We will arrive at the Cayman Islands in the early morning. If your hangover is not too bad you can leave the ship for the day and choose from many exciting activities ashore. George Town is a tender port so you will use little ferries to go ashore and come back to the ship. These tenders run frequently all day long. On the island you can take a trip to Hell and check out the rock formations that gave the small village its name. Swim with stingrays and visit a turtle farm. Get a view from above with a helicopter tour, visit a rum-cake factory, go kayaking, snorkeling, or take a walk on Seven Mile Beach along the serene blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Back on board in the evening enjoy another endless night filled with killer live shows!

If you thought the first Day at Sea was beyond your expectations, you will be blown away on this day! While you get another chance to see countless live performances, don't miss out on many of the other exciting events: More workshops and clinics, get your memorabilia signed at  the official signing sessions and the brave can participate in the belly flop contest judged by some of the artists.  This is one of those days you wish would last forever and you will probably end up at the Metal Karaoke for a final sing along until the early morning hours! This is more then just a cruise vacation. It is also more then just a Heavy Metal festival. This is 70000TONS OF METAL! For artists and fans alike, the trip of a lifetime!

Unfortunately all things have to end and in the morning when you walk off the ship in Miami and come back to reality, you might even feel like you need a vacation from this vacation!
