Beatles infest cruise ship, give back
But this is a good thing.Beatles Tribute Cruise 2011 is on sale now and for fans of the fab four it doesn't get any better than this. "8 days a week" is exactly how long fans will sail on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas along with pretty much anybody who's anybody in the world of Beatlemania.
Sailing from Miami with tribute-band The British Are Coming! and other special guests, fans will visit St Maarten, St Thomas, San Juan and Royal Caribbean's private destination of Labadee in Haiti where Royal Caribbean is still helping, a year after a devastating earthquake rocked the island nation with donations of supplies each week.
Along for the ride is two-time Grammy award winning guitarist Laurence Juber, Beatles artist Shannon, TV and radio personality Tony Perkins, Beatles historian Tony Bramwell and Joe Johnson, the host & creator of the nationally syndicated radio show "BeatleBrunch".
An annual event, this year's cruise will be a fundraiser for Thrive/Survive Los Angeles to support young adult cancer survivors. On-board, a raffle will be held with close to 100 Beatles-related items to be given away during the sailing including a special Ultimate Weekend Tickets To Ride package for Abbey Road on the River along with autographed DVD's from assorted post-Beatles artists.
For donation or ticket information contact Woody Lofton or register online.

Do you have to sport a moptop to cruise on this ship?

A Beatles cruise without the Fab Four on it? Why bother--just to hear some pseudo-experts yammer on about what they "know" about the group that held American teenaged girls' hearts for the better part of a decade?

I would pay for a "Ticket to Ride" in a "Yellow Submarine".

What some people won't do to earn a quick buck at the expense of the credulous.

Something tells me George is in Heaven throwing up & John is just plain laughing.

What about Paul and Ringo...wonder if they'll get any royalties from the fake fab four.
dave Jan 24th 2011 8:38AM
I think the Michael Jackson estate owns the songs and gets the royalties. But I may be wrong.

A Beatles cruise with out one of the surviving members? Don't think so. My daughter is going on a cruise with her fav band 311. NOW that is worth the money. What a scam. As a lifelong Beatles fan, I would not waste the money on this.
