I am a regular on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues cruise charter. It is privately run, so not part of sixthman.

 

You will find that it is very casual, wear what you want.

 

There may be a theme night or two for dressing up. Could be anything like Mardi Gras night or Pirate night. You will find out in advance.

 

I know the sixthman Caymo cruises are far more structured that the LRBC, where there are tickets given for some venues to control the number of people. I don't know how the Joe Bonamassa cruise will work in that regard. on LRBC folks just drift in and out of venues, it all works out.

 

There will be a few folks on board who are regular LRBC cruisers. They may help set the tone. A good party vibe!

 

LRBC is very laid back, lots of music, jam sessions until the wee hours of the morning. No dress code (the ask that clothes are worn in the dining rooms, shoes are a nice to have).

 

Since Keeping the blues alive is a new, short cruise, I guess you will see how it goes :)

 

I saw Joe Bonamassa recently, he put on a great show. A very talented guy. John Hiatt is hilarious on stage. I have seen him a few times alone, and with Lyle Lovett. Ana Popovic was on the last LRBC and brought her big band. Great stuff!

 

If anyone is up for a 7 day blues charter next January, check out the LRBC website for pre-booking info. There are a few folks who are doing the January LRBC and the Keeping the Blues alive cruise in February. It becomes habit forming ;)

I so need your advice. I am definitely not a cruise gal, but have regretted many times not having gone on the Lrbc due to the lineup, or having had great last minute cabin deals like this Oct where I missed the last concert of Alan Toussaint. I have a cabin offer for this January and have today to decide.

I know the music is amazing but not sure of the people, the cruise life, needing sleep, would you recommend it to someone who never wanted to go on a cruise but loves blues?
