Black Stone Cherry

Posted by Sean Graham On April - 27 - 2010

You may or my not have heard of this group, but these guys were on the VH1BCE along with the others. Key thing, just like Shinedown, these guys are NORMAL. They wondered around the boat like everyone else and were totally approachable and friendly. I’ve just always appreciated when a band act like people and not gods…
So yeah, Black Stone Cherry, listen, like and support!

5 more days..

For those who’ve been asking, this is where I’m headed. And you can all stfu, I know I’m showing my age..

VH1 and Sixthman are teaming up to bring you the ultimate music lover’s getaway – the VH1 Best Cruise Ever! Set sail April 15-19, 2010, from Tampa to Grand Cayman onboard the Carnival Inspiration.  As you sail through the Caribbean, your hosts 3 Doors Down – plus VH1 faves Lifehouse and Shinedown and more than a dozen other bands, including  Carolina Liar,Finger Eleven, SAFETYSUIT, Trailer Park Ninjas and more – will provide the perfect soundtrack.  Enjoy non-stop concerts from your favorite VH1 bands, VH1-themed activities and contests, plus the chance to hang with your favorite artists.

Oh, and you’ll be doing this all onboard a full-service cruise ship with multiple pools, bars, restaurants, 24-hour room service and a full casino.

The Carnival Inspiration

Need a little more convincing? How about this: The Carnival Inspiration has a massive tropical resort-style pool, two dining rooms, a pizza buffet, 24-hour room service, a ton of cool bars, a great casino, non-stop entertainment, a new 9-hole mini golf course, awesome concert venues and all-you-can-eat soft serve ice cream. And of course – the live music.

Theme Nights

We’re happy to announce that some nights on board will be dedicated to crazy costume parties! Participation is totally voluntary, but it is more fun when everyone is in on the action. We will update here when new nights are added.

VH1 80′s Night
Do you love the 80′s as much as VH1? Well, we here at Sixthman like to ham it up. What better way than with teased hair, neon colors, and bulky shades? So make sure to dig through the closet for those pieces that you knew would come in handy again one day. Today is the day.

VH1 Red Hot Red Carpet Night
Every girl likes a chance to get gussied up and look nice, and every man looks a little more handsome in his best clothes.  So now’s your chance to make it the best date night ever!  Or, to find the best date ever! Put on your dresses and suits, and get your fancy on.

On Board Activities

Flip Cup Tournament

If you haven’t played Flip Cup, then you really don’t know what you’re missing.  Here’s the break down:  plastic cups, beer, hand-eye coordination, and more beer.  You can see how things might get tricky.  The best part is, it’s a team “sport.”  So, whether you’re team Denver or team Florida, team Beer Bellies or team Six Packs, anyone can join.  Just put together some friends, or some fellow message board folks and join the world’s largest floating Flip Cup Tournament.

Cannonball Contest

Jumping in the pool, causing a ruckus, and getting the entire surrounding area soaked isn’t just for the kiddies anymore.  In fact, we are going to reward the person that can do it the best.  Members of Shinedown will be judging you on the most ridiculously awesome skill set, the best human cannonball. And for a little inspiration check out the famous Shinedown cannonball.  So make sure you start practicing early, the bigger the splash the better.  But if your neighborhood lifeguard gets upset, then you didn’t get the idea from us!

Karaoke

What vacation is complete without the obligatory self-embarrassment/shining star debut that is karaoke?  Make sure you warm up the pipes because we’ll have nightly karaoke aboard this vessel.  Don’t feel like becoming the next big star onboard? Stop by and watch instead!  It’s sure to be entertaining.

VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown Panel

Ever wanted to know what beauty regimen Jim Shearer uses before stepping on camera?  Ever thought, how does one get into television production? Well, your queries will no longer go unanswered.  Joining us on board VH1 Best Cruise Ever, is VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown host Jim Shearer and his production crew.  They will not only be shooting an episode of VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown from this awesome vacation and the concerts on board, but also setting aside time just to talk to you.  So get your pad and pen ready, and start that list of questions now!

VH1 Sloungewear Tour

What is Sloungewear, you ask? Well, it’s the all-encompassing word for clothing that doubles as bedding. So, whether you bring a Slanket, a Snuggie, or your own invention, come join us on this pub-crawl around the ship. We want to see the best decorated, most creative, and most sleekly dressed passengers. There may even be some prizes for the best looking Sloungewear. There is limited capacity and a small fee to participate. Sign ups will be at the Shore Excursions desk and more information will be onboard.

Men’s Wet T Shirt Contest

Hosted by Bestweekever.tv’s Michelle Collins and Green River Ordinance, this is one contest that you don’t want to miss. There’s nothing sexier than seeing your man with his six pack/beer belly showing the world what he’s got. It’s sheer entertainment that GRO could not pass up the opportunity to be a part of. Sign ups will be onboard, and the winner will be honored in the perfect fashion.

Bingo

No cruise is complete without Bingo. No, you will not be surrounded by the smell of Bengay and your view will not be blocked by purple perms. This is cutthroat Bingo, the kind where the winner will get some amazing prizes if they can make it to the front first! Your hosts Black Stone Cherry and Vedera will be making sure that there’s no cheating, too.

Simply said, I can’t wait. It’s gonna be a blast..

Hell Yes!
