ShipRocked Sold Out - Waitlist Open

Cabins for the fifth ShipRocked--the ultimate rock music cruise vacation--are now sold out, with a full ship of nearly 3,000 guests from 44 states across the U.S. and almost a dozen countries around the world set to sail from the Port Of Miami January 26-30, 2014 onboard the Norwegian Pearl.

In addition, rock band Living Colour--known for their 1990 Grammy Award winning song "Cult of Personality"--joins the lineup of over 20 bands including headliners Five Finger Death Punch. FFDP are touring in support of their newly-released Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell - Volume 2 album, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart last week--marking the second straight #2 debut for the band.

Rock and roll dance troupe Hells Belles Burlesque (www.hellsbellesburlesque.com) is slated for a pair of performances, and will be offering burlesque workshops during the cruise. In addition, Fuse TV’s “Mistress Juliya” Chernetsky will join Kayla Riley of SiriusXM Radio and Ralph Sutton of Tour Bus Radio as guest emcees for ShipRocked 2014.

Guests are encouraged to enjoy all that the Norwegian Pearl has to offer, including luxurious accommodations, 16 delicious dining options, 13 bars and lounges, casino, spa, fitness center, a chic bowling alley, rock climbing wall, sports court, two pools, hot tubs, and much more. In addition, ShipRocked guests will spend two full days enjoying concerts and activities on a private beach on Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. The island features a large performance area on the beach with full production for rock shows and offers various island excursions such as parasailing, snorkeling, canoeing and more.

As in the past, ShipRocked guests will enjoy multiple performances from every band on different stages, artist meet and greets, Q&A sessions, along with artist-hosted activities including contests, game shows, insane parties, theme nights and more. Onboard, bands will perform on the large outdoor Monster Energy Deck Stage, in the beautiful Stardust Theater, the Crystal Atrium stage, and the Spinnaker Lounge. While in port at Great Stirrup Cay, guests will enjoy unforgettable performances on the island’s Beach Stage.

Sounds amazing, 5FDP, Lacuna Coil, Scorpion Child, love it.

[GNR]

By the way Jim Bruer is hilarious. If you have netflix watch his latest special on there.

Cruises out of Miami just don't have the same allure as a cruise out of San Juan

[Dj]

There is some great bands on there. I would like to go on this one day.

[Metalboy!]

The comments on here are hilarious. What a sh*te line-up. Save your money for the other cruise, GNR, and you won't care what port it leaves from.

[dj]

Some bands do suck on here. But Papa Roach puts on one hell of a live show.

[Metalboy!]

Pfffft!!! They should pay YOU to go on this thing. The fact that this is sold out is testimony to the sad state of Rock AND Metal right now.

[Bobby Sixxkiller]

I was thinking the same thing Metalboy!

Jim Breuer is the only good thing about this.

[Brian Esperes]

I wouldn't mind seeing Living Colour perform "Cult Of Personality" but after they did that song, I would dive off the ship and swim the hell out of there.

[Gary]

Not even if Ginger & Mary Ann were along in their hey days....(ok,maybe if Ginger and Mary Ann were along in their hey days) lol

[christian]

Why is it sad that people are paying to see metal bands ?

[Metalboy!]

Cuz these bands, s*ck, Christian!

Oh, I forgot you are clueless about REAL Rock & Roll except for the occasional slip up like Accept, Michael Monroe or Black Veil Brides.

Just cuz a band is supposedly "Metal", as with any genre or subgenre, doesn't mean their good.

p.s. Now THAT comment you just made, Gary, might be the funniest one on here this year! Hahaha!!!

[Christian]

Sure, just because a band is 'metal' doesn't mean their good (sic). But, if people are listening to bands that are metal, isn't that better than if they are not ? If all the obscure bands you love continued to not sell well AND no-one was paying to see metal, how would that be better ? Obviously, I don't think all those bands suck, but then, I like metal as well as glam/pop.

[GNR]

Jim Bruer,Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, Sevendust, Candlebox, In This Moment, Lacuna Coil, The Halo Method, Nonpoint, Love & Death (with Brian “Head” Welch), Aranda, Art of Dying, Young Guns, Crash Kings, Butcher Babies,Scorpion Child, Wilson, American Fangs, Digital Summer, and Andy Wood & The Amalgam.

What I would pay to see: Jim Bruer, Papa Roach (they do put on a great live show), Candlebox, and Aranda

What I'm impartial to see based upon I paid: Three Days Grace (sub lead singer is good, but eh...), Sevendust (just don't get the allure although they have a couple good tunes), Lacuna Coil (should stick to the gal singing because the guy ruins many songs), In This Moment (too new for me and nothing stands out to say hey, must see them), and Non Point.

The others I about have no clue, although I've probably heard a song or two between them all if someone played it in a bar or come across Sirius.

[Metalboy!]

Again, Christian, why don't you just send back your "Glam Metal" card and your "Rock & Roll" card.

AND your "JESUS" card, for that matter, because your comments are very UN-CHRISTIAN like. The way you are using the word "Obscure" is clearly derogatory toward bands you have know idea about because you are obviously tone deaf to identify so many great bands, some who only have demo tapes "which trade for hundreds, by the way.

I think you just rationalize your unwillingness to explore the great unknown so as to avoid having to face the music literally when it comes to facing real music you haven't heard before because you simply can't afford the game. Is the Ostrich the official bird of Australia, or something?

Since you have to rely on album sales to validate a band, you will never here the REAL gold out there. Too bad you just can't bring yourself to broaden your horizons and truly walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

Or, the new Pope, for example. To always be open and curious to new things. I do it. Then I decide whether they suck or not. What's great in my situation is I am not so pompous as to think I am worthy of being "saved", so I can do things like use your taste as a barometer without being hypocritical to my personal convictions, something you do virtually every time you post or comment, because you have not fully embraced a fundamental of Christianity, something most self-proclaimed "Christians" also fail to follow: "Do not judge and ye shall not be judged."

I can judge, however, because I do not pretend to be something I'm not, yet you cannot because of your self-appointed staff in life.

That means every time you are derogatory, you are committing a sin that's going to send you straight to H*ll, which is probably what you really want, since Iron Maiden will be waiting for you there with Solieri and his Orchestra.

So, I will continue to apply "The Completion Backwards Principle" I have adopted when studying your posts and comments... And that is... If you think a band is great, save for a few exceptions, I can generally count on 'em suckin'. Hahaha!!!

I look forward to your future "Non-Glam Metal" posts on here so I can see what band that s*cks you will talk about next. But, chances are, it'll just be the same ol' sh*te you always talk about, not even a new band that s*cks. Cheers, you old goat! Though you are truly a hypocrit, extraordinaire, I give you high marks for your consistent Solierian mediocre point of view!

Go be with your people on Sh*tnotrocked! It might be the closest thing to Heaven you can get to right now.

[fletch]

I think the new pope is great...inasmuchas...being a pope can possibly be. Imagine.

[fletch]

And, thankfully, unlike chris, I never was never into judging. As hard as it might be to believe, I was always looking for answers to things that I didn't understand. Call it a personality disorder if you insist, I prefer to call it stupidity.

[Metalboy!]

Hey, Bri, I'd dive off before Living Colour ever comes on though I was fortunate enough to see Vernon Reid in his "Blaxpoitation" project in NYC in the late 80's where he and a completely different killer band performed cool soundtrack instrumentals with the corresponding film clips playing behind them.

He blew my mind. Unfortunately, the Living Colour stuff does nothing for me. The Verdict: UNROCK
