I remember an interview where Andy mentioned potentially having a sister cruise out of Canada. Vancouver, if I'm not mistaken. Problem with a cruise FROM Canada, is where would it sail TO? I'm guessing most Canadian cruises would cruise to American cities, thus kinda not being ideal for obvious rea...

Don't see myself making 70k 2026 to be honest. Having missed it for the first time in 2025, missing it again will be even easier. With the Australian Dollar crashing against the US Dollar, and 70k prices increasing more and more every year, its just no longer viable for me financially. ESPECIALLY w...

Rent A scooter

I will be in Hague and Amsterdam next month and I am looking for Metal stores to visit and buy new vinyl. Can someone help me with store names and location in NL?

I will wait to book also. The lineup is full of repeats and travelling from abroad is too expensive to watch the same bands. Hope there will be cabins available after 40 bands.

Their new album Nocturnal Will is awesome.

It seems clear there’s a Sweden-US specific immigration issue going on (which was already alluded to in the post). We’ve lost thyrfing, draconian, Marduk, and avatarium before they were even announced. The only Swedish bands left are the ones that have toured here recently, so they were prob alread...

I too will never understand why people only want to see bigger, known bands who tour regularly, it's baffling. Because we live in cities where they don't come. In Canada if you don't live in Toronto, you're not seeing every band that comes by. If you don't live in Vancouver either, you're missing m...

man, who cares how big or popular bands are... popularity is the petty cousin of prestige! There are REALLY good bands playing. If I were going, I'd have several bucketlisters: Iotunn (who would be my #1 band so far), Legion Of The Damned, Sodom (I've had to miss them for years), Heidevolk, and Sho...

W is for Wolfheart. Double duty for one Finn

Hello everyone, we are a few days away from boarding, I can't wait to be there. My account on the forum has only just been created so I am a little limited in terms of time to read all the exchanges. I would like to make sure I understand everything correctly. The price of the cruise includes the c...

That being said, my gf is coming with me next year so I think it will be a first time for me as well!

I try to squeeze one trip to Chopsv Grille with a friend. Extra pay, but I like it.

I dont do wishlists but I have 22 - 2 sets bands (If I did Wishlist, at least 10 bands would be on it), 25 bands - 1 set. Conflicts ahead.

The internet thing. I am a veteran but never bought internet I saw that it is cheaper for one guess to ask/reserve for a 4 device package, than each of the 4 guests order one device each. My question: Is it simple to get online with a 4 device plan shared with 4 different people? You get 4 different...

I never got off the boat. Time to rest and I live at The beach. Similar - living in Queensland our climate and beaches are similar to the caribbean (and I'm not really a 'beach person' anyway).

Its 9.23am here and its already nearly +30C (humidity 75%) - wanna swap?

Same here (Brazil)

Those who bought the refreshment package in the past, which type of coffee you can ask? You can ask for orange juice in any bat/restaurants?

Band excursions are now up - only 3, with 4 bands represented (Blind Guardian, Sodom, Halo Effect, Endseeker). I've only done a band excursion once and don't bother getting off the boat at all these days so havent been paying THAT much attention, but that seems a rather low number compared to previ...

I'm going to have to make some tough decisions at this rate. I'm close to 40 sets that I really want to see. Generally speaking, I like seeing both large and small bands of genres I'm into (which is admittedly a lot). The difference for me is that I don't get a lot of these bands locally, so I've n...

A matter of tastes, I guess. Some people complaining about the announcements and I am already stressed about the insane amount of shows I need to catch and afraid of all the overlappings I will have to deal with. Also, I always invest as much time as I can in discovering or, in some cases, rediscov...

i like to catch smaller bands, don't get me wrong! but well..i know its boring when i speak again about "big" names, but i need those names to justify this very expensive journey for myself. Last year there was already kreator, amorphis, kamelot, nightwish (i thought they are too big) and...

I didn’t know that . Too bad though I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Mikael Stanne really nice guy who throws off very positive energy and a great performer. He's a really nice guy, too. Very down-to-earth. I did the "Snorkeling With Dark Tranquillity" excursion last cruise and he was cool....

How about the email to check in? Anyone receive it?

The boat gives you comfort (food and places to rest, air conditioning, proximity with the bands) that a land festival doesn't but It is not worth it for veterans. Speak for yourself. I am a 5-time veteran and I think it is still worth it You are right. For me but an "empty" boat speaks fo...

I had an amazing time still in 2023, but I would definitely prefer more people on board. There were many times where the promenade was a complete ghost town, and a lot of the shows had low attendance with an occasionally lifeless crowd. The energetic and exciting atmosphere of 70k has always been a...

I gotta admit that I'm positively surprised. Dynazty was actually on my wishlist. So that's another one that's a double setter (running order permitting :lol: ). Extremely happy to see this band finally since they never come this side of the Atlantic. Now with S, a lot of really cool bands. Let's s...
