Mandisa, Grammy-Nominated ‘American Idol’ Star Dies Aged 47
McStine and Minnemann had impressed me so much in their first show that I went back to see them a second time on the pool stage, undeterred by the hurricane-like wind. Minnemann lost a stick at one point and did not have a spare handy until the next song. You would never have known it, because his one hand is as quick as most other drummers’ four limbs combined.
Single passengers and large traveling groups alike were well taken care of and everyone I spoke to felt impressed and, above all, welcomed – even by the ever-vigilant concert security staff. The sense of musical family that only Cruise to the Edge can create, was in abundance in all corners of the Mariner of the Seas. A Panoply of Prog, the cruise is always an adventure, even for one who has been fortunate enough to have attended it several times.

Music gets started each day around 11am and usually doesn’t end until after 1am, so there is little down time when a choice doesn’t have to be made. Lifesigns, this time in the Theater, were a sight and sound to behold. Playing the whole of their latest album ‘Altitude,’ Prog’s next big thing absolutely flourished in this larger environment. How wonderful for John Young, Dave Bainbridge, Jon Poole, Zoltan Csorsz and sound designer Steve Rispin. In my review of ‘Altitude.’ I mentioned a certain musical ‘glow’ that Lifesigns create in studio. Live too, there was a marvellous glow that was palpable in that room, and hundreds of fans were converted that night.

The trio known as Baraka made it all the way over from Japan to offer unique instrumental rock jams, while the gypsy quartet Marbin established themselves as the house band of the Cruise, their guitarist Dani Rabin single-handedly playing more notes on the ship than any other musician. One of the largest pro-am musical adventures in the world (certainly in the world of Prog), Late Night Live is a great and long-standing addition to Cruise to the Edge, which allows cruisers from all over the world to get together and perform classic prog tunes at late nights on the ship. There is nothing quite like getting up in front of your peers (and sometimes your heroes) to perform the music you love. Later that day, I was taken by surprise by the Late Nite Live family, led famously by the always exuberant host Rob Rutz, who welcomed me back with typical warmth and love and asked me to play a Marillion song unrehearsed (as is the way at this event) that very night. With music ringing in my ears at every turn, my cabin beckoned for the first night.
There were fewer bands this time, too, but few people were even counting given the continuous onslaught of music available. Indeed, some fans even plead for fewer bands so that they will have fewer scheduling conflicts and choices to make. Cruise To The Edge, the famous progressive rock festival at sea, is scheduled to return in 2024. The cruise will sail from Miami, Florida, March 8th – 13th, 2024, aboard the Norwegian Pearl, visiting Ocho Rios, Jamaica and George Town, Grand Cayman.

Sailing from May 2nd to May 7th, the host vessel, Mariner of the Seas, became a haven of heavenly Prog and the type of camaraderie that only those in the world of Progressive Rock can offer. Located on the north coast of Jamaica, Ocho Rios is adorned with beautiful golden beaches juxtaposed against its jungle-covered mountains. This backdrop allows for a myriad of unique excursions for guests to enjoy including river rafting, river tubing, savoring a moment of relaxation in a riverside cabana, or simply an easy breezy day on the beach at Discovery Bay. This port-of-call is magnificent for more than just sightseeing and adventure, in fact, Island Village is a shopper’s dream featuring duty-free shops filled with designer fashion, gorgeous jewelry collections, and more. Ocho Rios is most famous for Dunn’s River Falls, Jamaica’s national treasure, where guests can spend the day scaling this spectacular waterfall ?
For more action, adventurous passengers may choose to strap on a helmet and harness and soar 500-feet down on the Dragon’s Breath Flight Line, the world’s longest zip line over water. Consider booking a Barefoot Beach Cabana, which has several types of cabanas with privacy options, or being close to the action, there is sure to be something for everyone. Jakko Jakszyk provided a non-Crimson-oriented but highly melodic set of songs taken mainly from his latest album, with Lifesigns’ Zoltan Csorsz assisting ably on drums and, of course, the great Mike Kineally on keys, guitar and vocal harmonies.
The public on-sale is available now with cabins starting at $1,397 per person for double occupancy via the voyage’s website.
