Creator's Key Takeaways

I can confidently say that getting to see Walk the Moon's last shows before their hiatus on a cruise ship was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will cherish forever.

The amount of access you get to the shows and artists themselves is unparalleled.

If you want rare concert experiences, the Rockboat is definitely the place to have them.

It's clear that this is a community of people that look forward to this event every year and are willing to welcome everyone with open arms.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go to the main dining room for lunch on embarkation day to avoid the busy buffet.
Bring a variety of smaller bills for tips on excursions in the Caribbean.
Line up early for meet and greets to ensure you have enough time with artists.
Try the silent disco, especially if hosted by a favorite artist.
Consider not buying the higher-tiered Wi-Fi package due to poor speed and high cost.
