Monsters of Rock 2017 Cruise Rumors

Rumors about the bands and actual details for the 2017 version of the Monsters of Rock cruise are slowly coming in. The cruise leaves from Tampa and takes place February 2 -7, 2017. 

So far, bands apparently on the bill include:

Vince Neil
Night Ranger 
Stryper
Queensryche
Slaughter
Tom Keifer
Danger Danger
DAD
Paradise Kitty
John Corabi
Heaven's Edge
The Answer

I assume these are the bands because they are tagged in the Facebook post to 2016 alumni, alerting them to the fact that their early announcement email would be coming soon. I didn't go on the cruise in 2016, so I have no idea if the email has gone out yet or not - please share the details if you got it. I'm kind of on the fence about this. Rock cruises are fun, but they can wear you down really fast too. I like to have some down time on vacation and there really isn't any when you're talking about MORC or ShipRocked or the KISS Cruise or whatever. These sort of trips are not cheap, so you want to make your money count and do everything... Plus I don't know about the bands so far. There's a lot I like in the list above, but I've seen them all with the exception of Heaven's Edge and Paradise Kitty. What do you think? 

Thank you Monsters of Rock Cruisers for being patient and hanging out here on Facebook to see our #StartingLineUp for...

They obviously still need bigger bands than any listed here, though I am glad to see Danger Danger, The Answer and Heaven's Edge are making it on...

Just bring back Michael Monroe, Kingdom Come plus Britny Fox, then get Wildside and Junkyard. Wrangle one Mega act like POISON and you got it!

Just please, whatever they decide, NO Tesla!!!

D-A-D and Tom Keifer, good enough for me.

Bring in the mighty TESLA and RIPPER is in board again! YEAAA BOOOOY!

It's true. We got the email today and it gave us a link to an alumni web site. Pre booking starts Thursday, so it certainly doesn't give folks much time to make a decision. Looks like they are sailing out of Tampa and adding an extra day. Which means prices are going up. The very cheapest that 2 people can go now is $2750. If you want to spring for a balcony room, it is $4000+. The only artists announced so far are the ones you listed in the post.

F*ck Tesla! They purposely don't list 'em so as not to drive people away out of the prospect of sheer boredom.

Yep, I'll be going on the The Monsterwood Cruise out of L.A. in October THANKFULLY, with the added bonus of NO TeSLUG!

The 2017 MORC looks promising but at $4000+ for a balcony, they BETTER get POISON!

[JackT.Ripper]

Tesla WILL be rockin that boat baby! 99.9% want them! Give the people what we desire!!!! Side note Frank Hannon is a huge TRUMP supporter!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 For Hannon and 👍🏿👍🏿 for Tesla! And 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 for Ripper!

Great lineup but this is way too pricey for me. But then again it's a cruise so it's understandable, I'll just stick to some of the shows coming to my area. Def Leppard and Tesla is gonna tear it up, sorry Metalboy! But Tesla kicks ass!!!!

[Metalboy!]

TeSLUG = Metal Mediocrity and Trump will lose to Hillary, mark my words.

[JackT.Ripper]

TRUMP/HANNON in Chrome Letters! 👍🏿👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍🏿

[Metalboy!]

If Trumpy Wumpy wants to lose in a landslide, hahaha!!!

[Kevon]

METAL boy, do you ever wonder if US ambassador Christopher Stevens"s family is voting for Killary?

[JackT.Ripper]

Your right KILLARY probably will win! There are alot of stupid liberal Anericans in the world that live in fantasyland and MB you would make a good leader of them!

[Metalboy!]

I'm not a Liberal. I'm not a Conservative. I'm just calling it like I see it.

MACULAR DEGENERATION!!!!! 🤔

[Metalboy!]

Stand back and watch the battle of the Titans. Let's hope Trump makes it through the Gatling gun his own party is putting him through to avoid his nomination. I'm actually in agreement with a lot of his policies. One thing's for sure, he will fix the infrastructure in this country and take on Big Pharma.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending where you stand, Hillary and her machine will take him down.

[Kevon]

You are unfortunately probably right!!! We will have a Liar named KILL ary in the oval office when she belongs in jail! We will have only ourselves to blame!
