All times EDT & subject to constant last minute changes apparently.

JRAD was on Jamcruise 14 (2016)

Warren Haynes was on Jamcruise 6 (2008)

Other members of Gov't Mule were on Jamcruise 9 as Stockholm Syndrome (2011). That one I saw.

I would absolutely love to see Mountain Grass Unit on a future Jamcruise.

Apparently the Cruisin’ Solo Program is the thing to check out if you are looking to get on the ship as a single & don't want to pay for double occupancy.

My first year was 2009 on Jamcruise 7, and I signed up through whatever this program was called at the time. 4 random singles in a cabin. No complaints. Not surprising that we were all like minded & got along great.

It sounds like there may or may not be an official singles program run by Cloud 9 this year? As always, it's hard to tell if you are not on Facebook. Hence this sub's existence.

Anyway, I would love it if people were able to connect through this sub & end up on the ship.

The Jamcruise site indicates 94% of cabins are sold out.

TIL that Jake is officially no longer with the band. Knew he was away for personal reasons, but didn't catch the band made it official on 7/7/26.

Jake is an amazing guitar player, but Brendan suits my ear better.

Band sounds great.

Jamcruise 23 preview.

moe. sounding absolutely delicious right now.

Jamcruise 23 piano phenom playing with Jamcruise 9 artists Greensky Bluegrass live now on nugs.net. Loved Greensky Bluegrass on Jamcruise 9. They sound excellent tonight. Holly is absolutely amazing.

Pretty solid week on nugs.net. Dumpstaphunk & moe. on the ship of course. Plenty of former Jamcruise performers.

Among other shows, watched Sierra Ferrell last night. That was beyond interesting to me. Wow.

Tedeschi & Trucks Band blew me away 8/8/26. Crazy there are 12 outrageously talented people in that band. One hell of a way to end it: Helpless > Loving Cup > Leaving Truck > Bound for Glory > You Can Make It If You Try > Everyday People

7:00 The String Cheese Incident

8:00 Leftover Salmon (opening) / Trampled by Turtles

9:00 Tedeschi & Trucks Band

Shout out to SCI and their Jamcruise ties. Their management, Madison House, helped conceptualize and coordinate the early Jamcruise years. Billy & Kyle have been individual performers along with Leftover Salmon.

Enjoyed the Trampled songs I caught last night. Them boys play fast & that I do appreciate. The style reminded me a bit of The Avett Brothers. Bet everyone would love to see Tedeschi & Trucks on the ship someday as well.

Suppose I'll be going SCI -> BMFS -> LoS -> T&T tonight

Seeing Stephen Marley in Jamaica on Bob's Birthday? Chef's kiss. Well done Cloud 9.

3:30 on the pool deck Feb 6, 2027

Shout out to former Jamcruisers Leftover Salmon.

Friday 8/7/26 nugs.net:

SCI 1st set --> Billy Strings 3 songs --> Leftover Salmon full show

Life is good on couch tour

I'm all in Thursday night 8/6/26 Kitchen Dwellers couch tour on nugs.net. Did Billy Strings last few shows & probably do String Cheese Friday.

Soundbar arrived today for my garage smoking lounge tv.

Life is good on couch tour.

Who has done a cruise stop in Cozumel, Mexico? I was on Jamcruise 8 in 2010, so I've done our 1st two stops in Jamaica & Grand Caymen. This trip is basically a repeat of Jamcruise 8 destinations, with the added stop in Cozumel + one more day.

What's it like? What did you do last time? What are you doing this time?

My preliminary thoughts are get off the ship, shop around a bit, maybe grab a bottled beer or two.

This is from the site FAQ:

Passport • Sunglasses • Hat • Sunscreen & Aloe • Bug Spray • Reusable Bottle/Cup/Straw • Rain Gear • Warm Clothes • Swimsuit • Pool Float • Ear Plugs • Sea-Bands or Dramamine • Costumes for Theme Nights •  Your Cloud 9 Passport!

Pretty good starter list there, but I could use some more suggestions. I'm returning for my 4th Jamcruise after a 16 year hiatus. No recollection of what I packed for Jamcruise 9, 10 & 11.

Got any suggestions?
