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

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
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..
