I am sooo excited!!!  My favorites are Great Big Sea, Gaelic Storm, and Carbon Leaf.  Plus, it is my husband's and mine wedding anniversary to boot.  We've attended all three live shows in Indianapolis.  We are booking our cruise tomorrow.  Count us in!!!!

We'll bring/buy the whiskey!!!  

I'm thrilled! This is the best news EVER!!!! We were so wishing you'd come on board, and you are going to! It's not everyday that a dream comes true! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
Now, I hope you won't be playing the same nights as BNL. Because I love them too.

PS: Remember the Kalamazoo 2nd row girls with the silly signs! :)
That was me and my friend Chante.

I'm very excited about this. My friend loaned me one of your CDs recently and I liked it a lot. I've been planning on taking her to your show for her birthday the next time you come to town, but now I'm going to get to see you first!

I've already booked for the cruise (I'm a HUGE BNL fan), but if anyone hasn't booked yet, could you use my Sixthman referral number when you do? It's SXM-386601. I'd really appreciate it.

OMB This sounds really exciting!!

There is lots of excitement over on the Ships and Dip message board about Great Big Sea playing on the cruise.

There are lots of very nice people over on that board and lots of good information about the cruise.  Many of us were on last years cruise.  Hope to see you on board.  

Looking forward to seeing Great Big Sea!

I am totally bummed. I went to book the cruise and all of the exterior rooms are already gone. According to the organizer's site, it looks like it's nearly sold out :(

I am SUPER-PSYCHED!  I booked my spot this morning-- I could not get an exterior room either, but I don't really care as I don't plan on spending much time in my room other than for a couple of hours sleep each night?  Maybe?  A cruise with Great Big Sea, is like a dream come true!!!  Can't wait!!!

I went last year, and I wasn't in an exterior room, but it doesn't matter - all I did in my room was sleep (and really, not a whole lot of that going on...).  Be lucky that you are even able to go.  School is keeping me away this year.

What a line-up! Carbon Leaf opened for GBS before. I 've seen Carbon Leaf and Gaelic Storm multiple times. They have very cool unique celtic instruments so similar to GBS. I've seen Sarah Harmer before too. All in a small venue in Vermont, so I know seeing any of these guys live in small venues is soo much better than the big auditorium shows.

I was talking with Alan at a pub in Lowell, MA and talked about the BNL cruise. He said he never been on a cruise before and never thought much about the previous offers. I think we convinced them to go! :-)

Rooms on a Carnival ship are irrelevant, just get one! Cruise ships are seldom like hotels, don't go for the room...just a place to crash like said above.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT !  I cannot even believe this is true!  Great Big Sea on the sea of no cares!  I must be in a dream, someone pinch me!  The minute I saw GREAT BIG SEA on that ship, I booked my tickets!  Could live get any better than this??  And then, on top of it Carbon Leaf (my second favorite band) is on board too!  Who would have ever thought this could happen. Dreams do come true!  Can't wait to set sail with the most talented guys ever!  Keep on rocking planet earth !  Can't wait to see all of you.  GBS and Carbon Leaf are the kindest to their fans... can't believe 5 days with GBS!!  Life is so grande.  My first cruise too... I wouldn't care if we were in a submarine, as long as GBS was there!!  Way too awesome and too cool.
No offense to BNL but all i care about are these two groups!!!
Seen you guys so many times with my kids!  I get to be the kid this time!!  Who hooo..

I nearly DIED when I saw this today!!!!!!!  I am so excited to sail with GREAT BIG SEA!   We've been on cruises before and usually skip all the "entertainment", but not on this one!   I can't wait until January!!!!!!!

For those of you that didn't go on the Ships and Dips Cruise last year, I can't tell you how awesome it was...It is something you've got to experience...Now that Great Big Sea has signed on ...it is going to be even "awesomer"   I had nothing but fun last year and the music was superb...the interaction with fans and band members was so cool...

Welcome Aboard GBS!!!    I have only seen you once in concert, (1999 Ben & Jerry's Festival in Vermont) and before that had never heard of our group before that day, but by the end of the first song I was hooked!!!  Looking forward to sailing the Seas with you...

Can't wait! This is going to be the best 5 days ever!!!
