One of those things I would like to do, but not in my budget.

I don't know for sure. However, my guess would be more like 20 percent. Pretty much all of them are big prog fans anyway so it doesn't really matter. There really are more prog fans out there than most people think; they just don't necessarily eat, sleep and drink it like many of us on here do. ;)

Hardcore prog fan plus lots of money and vacation time equals CTTE. 

It's been around for a while. I've never gone personally but it does seem to attract a good crowd apparently(approximately 2-3,000 on the cruise). However, my guess would be attendance will be down signifcantly because of a certain something that has the same name as a mexican beer. Wink

The reports I have read on another music site is always positive. There is a good amount of downtime where you can hob-nob with the artists since there is nowhere to hide really....There are a lot of meet and greet ops, even sitting and just having a drink with them, tons of picture ops too.

Shows I have read can start as early as 10am and headliner shows can go till after midnight. There is always that chance of bad weather too since it is the Caribbean and waves can get rocky....Dramamine! LOL 

Like I said we will go one year, problem is I have to get to Miami from Seattle.

Nice Line up!  Marillion, Steve Hackett, Flying Colors, Protocal, Stick Men, Saga...Not too shabby!

Every year I bring it up to my wife and she is game every year........Then I back out. The price is very high for the cruise IMO. We did a 7nt Med Cruise a few years ago round trip from Barcelona and that was free compared to this Cruise to the Edge pricing.

This lineup is one of the best, so for me it is a bucket list item. I'll go one year I'm sure....

I'm going on a cruise next year to Barcelona, Spain from Miami, FL but it has nothing to do with music.

However i was wondering if anyone has ever done this one? A cruise filled with prog acts? Wow.

Sounds like something for the bucket list.
