Just a few quick comments:
Reading through the thank-you address from this year's 70000 Tons of Metal Cruise, it's slightly shocking to see that 60 bands will apparently be on next year's cruise. Sixty? Really? Either this is some kind of joke, or the next cruise will be epically amazing with that number of bands. It will be interesting to see when they are announced, and what the ratio of big-names to relatively unknowns is.
I wonder which ship this will be aboard, as Majesty of The Seas is set to retire. I would assume a much larger ship to accommodate that number of bands and the respective number of fans that it may draw.
Also, there is a promise that the waiting and suspense that has been common place with the last several cruises will not happen again. It was apparently due to personal issues for this year's cruise, but the last several cruises have seen passengers forced to under the same kind of waiting and suspense, and serious doubts. I honestly hope that this promise of it not occurring again will hold true, as the idea of this cruise is fantastic. Perhaps the message has gotten through the execution leading up the cruise needs some improvements. It would be nice if a few improvements were made; I could justify supporting Ultimate Metal Cruises again in the future if this were to happen.
