For the second year, the Canadian group Barenaked Ladies are hosting a week long cruise on a Carnival cruise ship. Even though it's only the second year of the event, it's been named Ships and Dip III, due to the amazing success of Ships and Dip I. Tyler Stewart of BNL says, "Screw Ships & Dip II, last year was so awesome, we're going straight to 3!! Not 3-D, though, that'd be crap." The ship leaves Sunday, January 27, 2008 and will travel from Miami to the Grand Cayman's and Jamaica. Members of Barenaked Ladies will be on board all five days of the cruise, and are being joined by Guster, The New Odds, Jason Plumb and Gaelic Storm.
According to the BNL website, the cruise will include:
* all meals (there's gourmet fare in the formal dining rooms, casual indoor and outdoor grills open for meals throughout the day and 24 hour room service)
* non-carbonated beverages (i.e. tea, juices, coffee)
* free entrance to hot spots like the ship's disco, casino and piano bar
* use of the ship's beautiful pools and giant waterslide (all with plenty of deck space to enjoy a cocktail and some great music)
* use of the ship's health and fitness center
* Camp Carnival facilities if you're bringing your children
* taxes, gratuities, port charges and ticketing are added at check-out and pre-paid for you ($119 per person)
This is all in addition to a week's worth of live music and shows by Barenaked Ladies and special guests!
Those who attended last year's cruise have nothing but great things to say about their week in the sun with this incredible band. It's an incredible idea, and something that not many artists do!
So if you love Barenaked Ladies, make your reservations for this amazing week of music! The website is www.shipsanddip.com.
