Man dead, cruise arrivals disrupted after boat hits ferry near Miami port
If the ocean is calling your name, visit Sousa Beach where you can sunbathe, swim, snorkel, or grab a bite to eat at a nearby restaurant. For those of you who want to experience the culture of the Dominican Republic, consider staying in town to explore the unique architecture, enjoy delicious Dominican cuisine, or shop for keepsakes to remind you of the amazing experiences you had in Puerto Plata. This marks the 10th anniversary for the cruise, which will depart from Miami, Florida on a five-day/five-night cruise running Feb. 9-14, 2022. The Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas will visit ports in CocoCay, Bahamas and Labadee, Haiti with performances from the participating rock and metal acts filling the cruising period. The annual Monsters Of Rock cruise (MORC),one of the world's premier hard rock and heavy metal fan immersive music cruises, is returning for its twelfth year. Next up is the Private Isle of Labadee, the ultimate private destination for cruisers, offering adventure, exploration and relaxation amongst its many bars and pristine waters.
Monsters of Rock Cruise Lineup Revealed
The public on-sale kicked off on Thursday (June 30),with cabins starting at $1,699.00 per person (double occupancy, not including mandatory taxes and fee supplement). Among the acts playing the three-day event are Cinderella’s Tom Keifer, Night Ranger, Extreme, Queensrÿche, Quiet Riot, Stryper, Kix, Firehouse, and more. The general public on-sale for the 2023 Monsters of Rock Cruise starts today, with cabins available for as low at $1,699 per person (double occupancy, not including mandatory taxes and fee supplement). Monsters of Rock is sold by On the Blue Cruises, LLC, and passengers can book staterooms on the Monsters of Rock Cruise website.
For the past few months, 22 year old vocalist Nate Peck has been filling in for CJ Snare. I was at the first show Peck performed with the band in October last year, and it’s incredible to see how far he’s come with Firehouse, clearly having grown vocally and becoming much more comfortable performing to large audiences. The young singer has the perfect voice to replicate Snare’s tone and range and executes the songs well.
Glenn Hughes – Pool Stage – 8:30 PM
Rooms on the Monsters of Rock Cruise cost $1,455 per person, based on double occupancy, for an inside cabin and up to $8,255 per person for the top suite. The night’s final show for me was Firehouse in the Theater, which began at midnight. The group played nearly all of their debut record with ease, especially original guitarist Bill Leverty, who makes every shred-filled solo look like an absolute breeze.
Meanwhile, another event featuring a slew of ’80s metal artists was also recently announced. The 2022 Monsters on the Mountain festival will take place August 19th-21st at The Gatlinburg Convention Center in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Day 3 was likely my most hectic day on the Monsters of Rock Cruise, as I attended nine shows, guitar teched for Black N’ Blue, and hung out at karaoke until the wee hours of the morning.
The second stop on Monsters Of Rock 2024 is Nassau, whose port just got an extensive $300 million makeover — taking almost four years to complete. The upgrades include a complete revamp of the waterfront area including repairing and expanding Prince George Wharf, additional berths, and a brand-new terminal. Not to mention, there will be event and entertainment spaces, an amphitheater hosting up 3,500 people, a living coral exhibit, as well as local food vendors and shops for guests to peruse. From Atlantis Aquaventure and Dolphin Encounter tours to relaxing at Blue Lagoon Island Beach Day, the Bahama Islands are magnificent and Nassau is their crown jewel — guaranteed to make Monsters Of Rock 2024 a vacation experience to remember. L.A. Guns are an American glam metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983.
Vacationers can amp up the adrenaline on the Dragon’s Tail Coaster, a thrilling 30-mile-per-hour ride with incredible views of the island. For more action, adventurous passengers may choose to strap on a helmet and harness and soar 500-feet down on the Dragon’s Breath Flight Line, the world’s longest zip line over water. The "classic lineup" of the group would reunite in 1999 and began recording new material. However, the group continued to change lineups and Guns eventually left to form the hard rock supergroup Brides of Destruction with Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe in 2002. Guns continued without Guns, bringing in guitarist Stacey Blades, however, following his decision to put Brides of Destruction on hiatus in 2006, Guns formed The Tracii Guns Band.
The ship, Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas, will set sail April 29th from Port Canaveral, Florida, and make stops at Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and the Private Isle of Labadee before returning to the Florida port on May 4th. With a theme of “They Came From Outer Space,” the boat ride will feature performances from more than 35 acts. Dominican Republic’s oldest city in the north and a tourism pioneer, Puerto Plata is nestled by the ocean with a mountainous backdrop. The city offers a lively pier (known as the Malecon), colorful shops, and opulent homes from the 1800s.

Just after 7 PM, Slaughter took on the Theater stage for their first show on this Monsters of Rock Cruise. Presently, the group features original members Mark Slaughter on vocals and Dana Strum on bass, as well as longtime guitarist Jeff Blando, and behind the kit, they’ve got one of the best modern rock drummers as far as I’m concerned, Jordan Cannata. On a stage completely filled with smoke, these Las Vegas rock n’ rollers perform all their classic tunes, some from each of their first two records, as well as Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.” After more than 30 years, Slaughter are still stickin’ it to ya out on the road and evidently out on the high seas as well.
