Why would you not want to have a balcony on deck 8? That is where we are and we got the back of the boat! I am so excited. Of course, the higher levels are better, but for the price?

We received a runner up coupon as well and are thinking about booking. Our only hold up right now is going to be stateroom location. If there are only 100 staterooms left,,,A balcony on deck 8 doesn't seem all that appealing to us.

Here are some examples of the artists we all love on the MORC: Tesla-Love Song, Night Ranger-Sister Christian, Great White-Once Bitten Twice Shy, Cinderella-Don't know what you got till it's gone, Firehouse-Love Of A Lifetime. Check them out, they are not at all like Metallica:). Can't wait to meet all of you on the cruise.

Hi, I for one am happy this cruise will have a broader mix of people. I'd never think Celtic music and metal would meet, but then again, the idea of Metallica and a symphony orchestra also sounded odd back in the day. I'm guessing the members of Celtic Thunder would be quite open to introducing themselves to music fans that may not have even heard of them.

 

I see you've been on a lot of MSC cruises. My first time...how's the food? Anything to avoid?

Sorry to hear you would pass up a great deal and an even better experience! The MORC group is not really what you call "Heavy Metal". It is more like Glam or classic rock, sometimes even more like pop music. And, I think you are going to find that we are pretty open minded and like to try new music. The other "rockers" and myself are all looking forward to the Irish music. The best thing for us is that we get to relax & listen to some music. BUT, most of all, we are all looking forward to making new friends. I hope you will reconsider so that you don't miss out on THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!

I got all excited today when I received a "runner-up" reward for entering the Celtic Thunder cruise give-away - $190 pp incl. taxes, fees and gratuities for an inside, $290 for a balcony. I'd looked at this cruise several months ago but the prices I saw were too steep for us. So when I got this notification, we were ramped up.....until I discovered that Monsters of Rock also has a group on the same sailing.

How in the world can they combine these two disparate groups? I have absolutely no wish to hear heavy metal music or be in the party "mix," and I can imagine the "rockers" would be bored to death with the Irish music.

Can't see how in the world they can mix these two on the same sailing. I was ready to book, have my credit card out, but think we'll pass.
