In addition to her blossoming music career, she showcases her passion for music through concert photography and journalism. From KISS to Foo Fighters to Yungblud, Shannon has captured rock royalty through her lens. Promoter On the Blue Cruises has announced the five-day/five-night full-ship music charter will set sail March 2-7, 2024 aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence Of The Seas and depart from the Port of Miami, Florida.

Jay and Silent Bob Cruise Askew Took Over The High Seas For Three Days Of Fun And Adventure

Closing out the night was an incredible rendition of Fooled Around and Fell In Love by Elvin Bishop, performed by Richie Kotzen, Glenn Hughes, Justin Hawkins, and Julia Lage. There really is no other way to describe how I felt during this experience besides calling it a major “pinch me” moment. Certainly, there was no better way to end such a fantastic, unreal week than with this performance at 3 AM in the middle of the Caribbean. If you’ve never attended the Monsters of Rock Cruise, I have to say it is really a life-changing experience for any rock fan, and I could not possibly recommend it more.

The whole crowd shared a laugh as vocalist Gary Cherone took a tumble on the side of the stage – a common occurrence for the hyper performer. Between a couple songs, the group gives a nod to the classic rock group Queen, with excerpts of We Will Rock You and Fat Bottomed Girls. 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. Off to the third show of the hour, it’s Dangerous Toys with their second MORC set. In the ice rink-turned-concert venue, Studio B, the Texas rockers take the stage. Playing tunes mainly from their first album, as well as a select few songs from later albums, it’s clear that straight up southern sleaze rock is running through the veins of these 5 musicians.

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. The award-winning Independence of the Seas® is giving the Caribbean an injection of new adventures. This is the third of Royal Caribbean’s Freedom-class vessels and it recently received a massive makeover as part of the cruise liners “Royal Amplified” program, which includes the addition of new bars and restaurants. Spanning the length of Deck 5, the four-story boardwalk allows guests to stroll into restaurants and cafés, stop in to do some shopping, and grab a drink before the next show. Plus, official cruise host Eddie Trunk (VH1, SiriusXM) and a cast of other hosts who will be moderating Q&A’s and a bevy of activities onboard.

Bassist Pat Badger has a groove and pocket that perfectly matches drummer Kevin Figueiredo. All proceeds from Rock Legends Cruise go to the Native American Heritage Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and providing basic life necessities to families living on Reservations in South Dakota. Somewhere in the middle of the Caribbean… not so long ago… it’s day 4 of the Monsters Of Rock Cruise. If you’ve been following my coverage of the best rock n’ roll experience on the high seas, you’ve seen what a fantastic time it’s been… but it’s not over yet.

Relive those great rock concerts with the bands that rocked your world and your heart and over 25 celebrity interactive events while we sail from Miami, FL to the beautiful ports of Aruba and Curaçao. The sun will be shining, guitars jamming, drums drumming; and the nights will be heating up on the luxurious Celebrity Summit. Downing started a new project back in 2020, with former Judas Priest vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens.

Hawkins made quite a few playful jabs at Ace Frehley for supposedly being late, calling him a cunt several times and the audience cheering in agreement. The two would go on to take a photo and make a post together, squashing the beef that had arisen. The 12th annual Monsters Of Rock Cruise is scheduled to set sail March 2-7, 2024 aboard Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas. The cruise will depart from the Port Of Miami, Florida, with ports of call including Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and Nassau, Bahamas. Black N’ Blue takes the stage on time at 11 PM on the Pool Stage, which means it’s my time to get to work as their guitar tech. The group is celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut self-titled album by performing the release in its entirety.

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. Nassau's best attractions are walking distance from where the ship docks. 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.

I can honestly say the cruise was incredible – from the music, food, drinks, and service from all involved. I was tired and did not think I would be able to stay awake or stay on my feet all night long. Considering this is the peak of flu season, I think the ship was very clean and the staff went above and beyond to keep it that way. I’m sad to say we’ve come to the final day of the 2024 Monsters of Rock Cruise.

Another special guest performance this MORC took place during this set, with Hardcore Superstar’s Jocke Berg singing the Toys’ biggest hit, Scared, with the band. An unlikely pairing and surely something that has never and will never been seen elsewhere. Back in the day, Extreme created a never before seen musical style – combining hair metal with funk – and to this day they are still innovating, especially with their 2023 album. The deck is absolutely packed, ready to see the high-energy show the group is known for – and of course, this set was no different. Frontman Gary Cherone is nonstop, from one side of the stage to the other, climbing amplifiers and even climbing up onto the next deck and roaming around up there while still singing. What is there to say that hasn’t already been said about guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, the guy is untouchable when it comes to riffs, shred and tone.

A steady tradition for ShipRocked as fans sail away has been to announce next year’s cruise as they begin the current year. After being so blown away by their first set on the boat, I had to make sure I made it for their second round. I sat on the stage left side of the theater with my bandmates and our friends in Spread Eagle, all appreciating the sheer talent and artistry on the stage before us. The Darkness gave another impeccable performance, but it would prove to be a controversial one. The band started quite late, to no fault of their own – as singer Justin Hawkins would make abundantly clear.

Coming off the heels of a new studio album release, Frehley is performing on the Monsters of Rock Cruise. His band is made up of incredibly talented musicians, guitarist Jeremy Asbrock, bassist Ryan Cook and drummer Scot Coogan. With a classic Ace combo; a Les Paul and big ‘ol sunglasses, this guitar hero takes on a bunch of popular KISS songs, as well as some solo tunes. With a myriad of events, activities, and music to keep fans entertained day and night, MORC ’24 promises to be a fantasy camp, personal paradise, and the vacation of a lifetime for hard rockin’ music enthusiasts.

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. Dollars (USD) and are quoted per person based upon double occupancy, except for “Singles”, and do not include port charges, airfare, ground transportation, onboard purchases, purchased drinks onboard or excursions. It does include all meals, shows and onboard events produced by StarVista LIVE. ShipRocked 2023 was an unforgettable experience and fans are already prepping their livers for 2024.
