Probably not.  Maybe in another few years (assuming it's still around).

Thanks, Infocat.  I was hoping someone who'd been on the cruise could dispell that rumour.    Are you thinking of going on the 2015 one?

if not for the cruise ship aspect of it ...   f-that.  I've seen and read the horror stories.  My idea of a vacation is NOT sh*tting over the side of a stricken  boat.. alongside.. love him as I do.. someone like Chris Squire as our dead boat drifts aimlessly in the great blue ocean.

I'll stick to getting blasted with up and coming muso's at local dives and land-bound prog festivals. Thank you very much.

I don't care for lots of people crowded into small spaces, which pretty much defines every cruise experience I have ever heard about.  On the other hand, I would like to see the bands.  So I guess my question is, how claustrophobic was it?  Another issue I had was in a review I read, which stated that although every band plays twice, you can only see them once.  Is that true?

What it is you hate about cruises?
I was a cruise virgin when I went, so I can't compare.

So you live....at the....bottom of the sea....  VdGG on a cruise - the whole concept does my head in.

there was also the after hours prog jam after all of the concerts (of the cruise or that day, idk which) that i really liked. i wonder if anyone here was a part of that.
