    The third Weezer cruise will be plinkerton themed, all guests will be forced to stay in their rooms. Music will played from a distance to simulate a house party you’re not invited to.

    I was on the first Weezer cruise. It was really fun. It's the only cruise I've ever been on. We didn't watch a safety video. We, like, mustered in the place we would meet up if there was a disaster. Brian Bell was in my muster group. All of the stuff was really fun, but I think I enjoyed watching the Doug Loves Movies podcast the most out of all the Non-Weezer shows I went to.

    I was on that cruise and it was amazing. I like weezer and I enjoyed seeing them play, but I was mostly there for Dinosaur Jr and Sebadoh. During one of their performances, Lou Barlow mentioned that this was the first time that those two bands played together on the same bill. The rest of the lineup was amazing as well: The Antlers, Yuck, Wavves, Free Energy were all amazing! What I loved most is that it was basically a music festival where you could come and go as you pleased. Plus! No Porto-potties! The second weezer cruise had a much smaller lineup than the first, so we skipped it. We did however go to the Coachella cruise a few years later, which was also amazing.

    Personally, I loved Ozma, and one of the other bands they were associated with, Straylight Run, in particular because when I first saw Straylight I'd never heard them (playing with Ozma). Michelle was kind enough to stop and talk with me like I was their oldest fan, and I still treasure that memory.
    Recently, I went on the Coheed and Cambria cruise, SS Neverender. It reminds me a bit of this, it was just... an experience. Equal parts concert, cruise, tattoo convention, and a reunion for a thousand people who'd never met before.

    Sounds like a lot of yearning and sadness was on that boat.

    AM Radio almost ended up on one of those. Looks like we missed out on a great time.

    a weezer cruise would make a great place for a broken lizard style horror movie to be set

      Unbelievably, this was the first time sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr played on the same bill! Maybe Lou wouldn’t isn’t up for playing all night, but I don’t get why they’d never toured together

    I mean I like some Weezer songs, but I can't imagine a whole ass cruise for em. Glad it turned out well for those who went, unlike certain other festivals.
