Heavy Metal On A Cruise Ship?! 70,000 Tons Of Metal Guide

[@ladyb_876]

nahhhh 2023 - Port Miami instead of fort lauderdale same for 24

[@Sornigrafix]

Just saw this video and had the same reaction when he repeatedly mentioned Ft. Lauderdale. It made me double-check the port info and yeah - Port Miami all the way.

[@Masterbas1]

It was Fort Lauderdale for a bunch of years, probably a lot of his sailing, but I gotta say, Port Miami all the way as well. It was way smoother than any of the Fort Lauderdale sailing.

[@ecdubytecdubyt]

Nothing screams metal more than...a pillow fight?!? Hell yeah!!!

[@missilegirl77]

If I ever get over my fear of cruises and also become rich, I’m so there

[@wyattsmetal]

No you're not invited

Next year will be my fifth cruise !!! Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@jessicalucero3271]

I hate how they always lag every year with releasing the line up. One of the reasons why we never want to go.

[@MrCadillacbob]

Been there, done that, 5 times. Their inability to fix basic issues, along with the steep price increase, has made me lose all interest in going again.

[@Madmetalmaniac42069]

Can you elaborate on your experience a bit more? If not I get it

[@deslow7411]

How much did it used to cost?

[@MrCadillacbob]

@@Madmetalmaniac42069 The refusal to announce bands in a timely manner. The ridiculous merch system. And the social media posts which are frankly insulting to the fans. Don't misunderstand, it's a great experience once you're on board, but the overall vibe of it has been ruined for me.

[@MrCadillacbob]

@@deslow7411 IIRC, the first year, the cheapest cabins were $666 (plus about $250 in fees). Now it's almost $2k. Add into that the cost for airfare and a couple of nights of hotels, and about a $600 bar tab, and it comes to about $3500 for me to attend. I can go to two week-long festivals in Europe for less than that.

[@Enigmalake]

@@MrCadillacbobbands are always good and how is the social media insulting? How much was the price increase?

[@0therun1t21]

Sounds like a Metalocalypse episode. Being on a ship full of people you actually want to talk to sounds pretty good. I'm old, of course I'd rather do this than a regular festival. This makes me actually want to go on a cruise. I might even drink.

[@susanrowan3622]

Such a hilarious & fun video about what looks like an excellent time. Your quips are killer!

[@LJLMETAL]

2024 will be the first time I'll be on 70,000 Tons Of Metal. I can't wait to be there. I'm really looking forward to it. I plan to go there, every year. I already have my cabin booked, so I'm good to go on that. I can't wait to relax in a hot tub while watching a live Heavy Metal Concert. 🙂🤘

[@forcetheedges]

I'll probably never go to this, but it's great to get an inside look at what it's actually like!

[@jmm5994]

Your videos single handedly convinced my lady and I go this year. Super stoked.

[@Tacom4ster]

Oh man, I would have liked jamming to Arch Enemy on a cruise, my mom tickets won a free cruise, Virgin cruises, it's alright, but this seems way more fun, I mostly stayed in my room

[@CarlosGomez-xc5do]

Nice video explaining the whole experience. This will be my sixth time doing the cruise in 2024, it is simply the fest festival on Earth

[@ZarTh_Vader]

It does not leave from Fort Lauderdale’s port Everglades, it leaves from port of Miami.

[@djcj]

Awesome video man!

[@punklover99]

All that money and i have to share the room if I'm by myself, screw that

[@Honolulu-Blue]

Thanks for sharing. The experience sounds very familiar, except for the metal thing. I've done The 80s Cruise the past two years and I'm going again in a few months. They usually have a few metal-ish bands playing. One thing they have that 70k doesn't is a free drink plan for all passengers. 🎉🎉🎉

[@deslow7411]

Well a free drink plan on a metal cruise equals to bankruptsy :D

[@starscreamthecruel8026]

Goals for if you ever in the lottery :)

[@ImSimplyPhil]

I've been months and months planning for this trip, trying to managing to get time off, and its all pulling off. Now I gotta save up for this trip at least 2-3k for it! Also sold out! Damn I got lucky for going for my first year!

[@robertgskill]

How the port security before getting in the cruise did they have guard dogs?

[@chrisk7533]

2024 was my first time and it did not disappoint! I now know the importance of a plan ahead of time, also I need to bring a costume for 2025, something truly ridiculous.

[@neillbickerstaff6671]

Do a review on the monsters of rock cruise

[@LokiTricksterG]

I went on a cruise when I was a kid and, from what I remember, the ship looked identical to the ship in this video. Now I'm wondering if it was the same cruise line, or if all cruise ships look exactly the same.

[@DeaDlyCorpsE528]

This is my first time going def cant wait, you going this year ?

[@chrisr6710]

This looks way too much fun. I didn’t think the ticket price quoted was that bad.

[@turbofuss]

Free food? Time to Bankrupt 70k y'all

[@originalname9999]

$8 beers on a room card.... time to live under a bridge upon return. It does look fun though.

[@turbofuss]

@@originalname9999 Lucky for me I aint drinking beer

[@trvist2800]

do one on headbangers boat!

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

It would have given Ozzfest a run for it's money if this was around back in the early 00s

[@airhorse1]

Best experience ever!

[@Shadowtrance]

Man I'd totally go on this cruise...... if i wasn't all the way down in australia lol sigh. :( Looks like an awesome time though so congrats to those of you that can actually go :) 🤘🤘

[@Adrian-ey5xp]

Hey mate,yeah I'm in Canberra,what part of oz are you

[@zombl337og]

seems super dope and wish i had hxc metal friends who were willing to drop $2-3k to go to this!

[@ashdragon4000]

Go by yourself! They sell solo tickets and it's so easy to make amazing new friends.

[@zombl337og]

always a lot easier when you got friends though, but i did buy Static-X tix myself recently :) @@ashdragon4000

[@jironthunder7519]

I'm too damn old for WACKEN OA but a Heavy Metal boat cruise, HELL YEAH! I have my Royal Caribbean stripes and the cruise is gonna be my birthday present!!! Up the Irons!! \m/, ,\m/

[@WinnieDrums]

It’s CRAZY how it’s about $2.1k for this while Monsters of Rock Cruise wants 5k.

[@Kingofmetal606]

Why have I never heard about this a 4 days metal cruise count me in I’m definitely going in 2025

[@shadowchu419]

I’m so going to this in 2026 and I can not wait!

[@mattgraham2835]

sounds like how do the marines say it whooo rah

[@UziMusic]

You're really selling this..

[@dee-taylor]

What about greenage on this ship?

[@daphne1065]

I think it's rad the genre is so big that this exists, but this wouldn’t be for me at all

[@corrosive69]

best vacation ever!!!!

[@Meiliina]

That sounds awesome, but I'm already feeling social anxiety from looking at the footage. I prefer to stick with our smaller Nordic counterparts, like one where it was only neofolk bands on a couple day cruise from Stockholm to Tallinn and back.

[@davidvanvoorhis8509]

See you on the cruise, third time for me.

[@nwerd7584]

I always thought doing this stuff on a boat was comical. Because ICP have been doing it for 30 years.. Then 70 Tons came around, and now I'm noticing even more bands doing event on boats the last 5 years. No props to ICP for the idea of a yearly boat show lol

[@boris_bulletdodger9109]

Positive comment

[@drinasun6984]

I'd go on this cruise if I was rich and had metalhead friends.

[@loonylove2.030]

Yeah, listening to lyrics about social inequality and environment pollution while sitting at the flatrate buffet on a giant boat that burns hundrets of gallons of fuel a day- very metal indeed. Shame.

[@raregrimebeats1352]

You’re getting mixed up with the punk scene 💯

[@s.porter8646]

A bed and a shower...noting you got in a van on tour

[@patrickwilliamson29]

What about weed? Will you get in trouble for smoking? I know you could probably be discreet but is also cool not to have to worry

[@haniexists]

I feel like there's a bit of a conflict of interest when you do positive coverage of the sorts of festivals you're playing with dark insanity, for instance with tolminator.

[@wyattsmetal]

I'm not playing 70K. I made my video on Tolminator before we were asked to play it

[@mr.pickles9791]

Good god, im poor af...

[@littlecsommercorn]

I want to go so bad. Maybe in 2025.

[@elihyland4781]

🤘

[@phox1515]

Sooooo it's a regular cruise.... With Metal bands performing instead of the ship's regular shows and bands. You describe this like you're talking to someone who has never been on a cruise before.

[@wyattsmetal]

Perhaps I was

[@Kristin-z1s]

This is an event for people with a lot of Money..its so frustrating that i'm a poor metalhead😑

[@corrosive69]

one year i paid for the whole cruise and didn't take a penny from my normal pay... if you want to do it there are ways :)

[@WinnieTehPoop]

1:24 thats a good festival right there!
