Well another boat cruise season is upon us.

I want to be excited for this but last year left a bitter taste in my mouth. I can't think of one cruise I went on last year that I REALLY enjoyed (vs the previous years where I had a great time on pretty much every boat party I went on). Boats leaving late or coming back early, sound issues, sound police, super annoying long search lines ... etc.

The two cruises I went on duing WMC were so much fun though I am not ready to give up on cruises in TO just yet. Hopefully there will be some better organization from the promoters & hopefully the boat operators / fun police won't be such dicks.

Maybe if there wasnt two or three a week, people would actually get excited about them, and the talent would be top notch rather than anyone they can book to play the boat that weekend.

They are a dime a dozen to me now, and only will pick the cream of the crop cruises to attend this season.

Mother nature needs to stop being a **** and lighten up this year on the weekend rain.

Many boat cruise parties seem to have become just another afterparty....

I will also be selective this year to avoid disappointment ....

I wasn't that shit hot about last season either, especially the last month...

people burn out, that's why the first one + canada day boats are usually the best ones... they always kick off summer in such a big way!

Maybe promoters could work together to assemble two or three, at the most, cruises a month that are stellar, rather than competing like a pack of dogs for a dead animal, to fill as many boats as they can every weekend.

EDIT:

From what I remember, hardly one fuckin boat I was on last year, which was at least over half a dozen, left on time, stayed on the water for what I paid for, and filled to capacity. Talent was so so for most of them, I enjoyed a few special headliners.

I was thinking maybe one or two a month...if that many. I just don't see them as anything special anymore....it was fun the first few times I did them.

I'm very skeptical about boat cruises this season. It seems like boat cruises keep getting worse and worse with the following problems (in order of importance):

1. Boats leaving late and docking early
2. Very low volumes on boats
3. Too many people G'ing out and treating boat cruises like Comfort Zone on water
4. Fort Knox style searches and banning sunscreen

I've all but given up and dealing with the "regular scene" crowd on boats. There are just way too many stupid, stupid people who cross the line and ruin it for everybody. I'm looking forward to other boat cruises and outdoor events where I don't have to deal with this horrible, irresponsible crowd anymore. The last boat cruise season was simply an unacceptable mess.

I will be going on the Victor Calderone cruise on Canada Day, but my willingness to go to any boat cruises beyond that is pretty low, especially if the same level of stupidity is around this year as was around last year (which I fully expect it to be).

It's understandable, people aren't that stupid. $40-60 is still a bit of change. And when you are paying that much and consistently NOT getting what you paid for, it makes sense that people become much more selective about going to these events or not going to them at all.

i reallyyyyyyyyyy can't wait for the TRANCE BOAT CRUISE!!!!!!!!!

Good points also. But unfortunately we can not search and discard stupidity at the dock like G
