Captain Kid Rock sails again
The five day charter sailing goes to Cozumel, just Cozumel, and no place else. That's probably just what the doctor ordered for the rabidly fun-loving fans on board.
"For this heavy-drinking, heavy-smoking crowd, it's an itinerary that includes all-hours bars, pole-dancing classes and performances by 16 acts, including Rev. Run, Gretchen Wilson and two up-close-and-personal concerts by Rock himself." says Brian McCollum, on board, from the Detroit Free Press
Fans arrived in New Orleans early and by all accounts, the party was well underway before the ship left the dock.
"Fans had begun piling into New Orleans a day early, excited to dive in to what many returning cruise-goers described as a Kid Rock family reunion. These are the hardest of the hard-core -- the fans whose Kid Rock concert counts run into the dozens and whose arms are vividly emblazoned with tattoos of the Detroit star" McCollum wrote.
But other than a few drunken domestic arguments, the crowd seems to be as somewhat-under-control as it probably could be with Rock in charge of the festivities.
"The party will be everywhere," Rock boasted to the Free Press just after boarding yesterday adding "Everywhere you go on this boat, you'll be walking into it."
I bet there's a story or two coming out of this before it's all over. Actually, let me take that back on the "he doesn't get to make people walk the plank" thing I mentioned earlier. I wouldn't put anything past the venerable Mr Rock.

I'm not much of a Kid Rock fan but this sounds like an insane amount of fun! I'm not surprised that it's a such a hit. Maybe other acts will start doing these kinds of events. I was at the GWAR-B-Que over the summer and that was amazing, imagine that on a cruise ship and I'm in heaven!
