Wow...it's actually real. Just got a warehosue announcement:

Warehouse Announcement wrote: Dave Matthews & Friends Caribbean Cruise Getaway

In February 2006 Dave Matthews & Friends will be performing on a secret island in the Bahamas, and Warehouse members are invited to take a cruise to the concert! Two spectacular eco-friendly ships, the Majesty of the Seas and the Sovereign of the Seas, will sail in tandem to a secret island in the Bahamas, a weekend musical adventure that is destined to be a once-in-a lifetime experience.

Several artists have been hand-picked for this special occasion, including Bob Weir and Ratdog, G. Love and Special Sauce, Toots and the Maytals, Ozomatli, Mike Doughty's Band, North Mississippi Allstars and many more. The artists will be performing on both ships, giving fans the opportunity to see some of their favorite bands in unique settings. Exciting events, delectable cuisine, two private island destinations and an exclusive group of fans will make the experience unforgettable.

Friday, February 3, 2006 kicks off a welcoming party on the pool deck. Live entertainment, dancing and other activities will continue all evening and into the early hours in the ships' wide assortment of venues: themed lounges, nightclubs, pools, restaurants and casinos. The ships will be sailing through tropical waters when fans awake on Saturday.

The ships will anchor in Nassau, Bahamas on Saturday morning, February 4, 2006, and all passengers will have a chance to enjoy the ship or the shore throughout the day. That evening will culminate with the Dave Matthews & Friends show on the beach, under the stars, among the swaying palms... Following the concert, fans may enjoy a late-night dance party into the wee hours of the morning.

Sunday, February 5, 2006 brings a day of relaxation in CocoCay, a private island resort. Passengers may sunbathe, stroll, relax, indulge in a variety of water sports and a BBQ party on the beach. Returning to the ships that afternoon, fans will have the opportunity to gather in the Shipboard Stadium for Super Sunday football festivities and the Big Game followed by another evening filled with stellar musical performances.

i could go on a seven day carribean cruise for cheaper than that, and the lineup isn't even that good

i mean, the concert on the beach is cool, but after airfare, food, blah and blah blah, i think it's just too much for most fans

799$ you can share the room with 2 other people. :roll:

That would suck..rooms on cruise ships are extremely small. Maybe a 12 by 10 room if you are lucky.

I'd love to go but for a 3-day cruise, it's just too much.

If it was a 6-day cruise and D&F rolled up on the weekend and played, I'd go. We sometimes forget that those ships will hold 2-3k people EACH ... That's 4-6k people at this intimate little concert ... Not worth it to me. Great idea. Lousy execution.

I imagine Dave wont even be on the cruise either. If it was DMB, I would think about it, but I dont really want to see D&F again. It was a good show but too meloncholy for me.

Those cruise ships are amazing. I've been on a cruise on the Sovereign of the Seas and it was ridiculous. I can't believe they're using that same ship for this cruise. Those prices are AT LEAST double for what we paid to go on a 3 day/4 night cruise.

Oh yeah, and CocoCay, the private island owned by Royal Carribbean is probably the coolest place I've ever been to.
