so a few things we learned yesterday:

- the 3 amigos are bad with being on time....together
- li'ly gets way too hot and stuffy downstairs
- Demi admits hes a pussy
- I apparently lost a bet and i seem to be the only one that forgot about it.

Pics made it look like good times were had
So happy I gave my ticket away last minute, though. Oh well, next one!

For the short two hours and twenty minutes that the cruise went, it was a great time. As everyone else said though, it was way too short. I will reserve judgement until we find out why the cruise ended so early.


As far as Desyn coming late, I really don't understand why he didn't get a water taxi. It was so unneccessary making everyone wait that long.

So, LIV guys: What happened?

another thing I learned yesterday...Dog tags are a bit too popular now...before...other than myself I'd notice maybe one or 2..but yesterday i saw 20+ people with dog tags

As i said it was probably the worst cruise I have ever been on - music wise and the length. Still had a good time with the friends I was with.

Waiting for Desyln instead of getting him a water taxi was stupid and unacceptable (would he have pulled a no show if you didn't wait for him?). Better to let the 500 people enjoy the cruise rather than wait for one of the DJ's.

The boat had a Flow 93.5 party on it afterwards which is why we had to be back at the dock when we did (for the gear swap and set up). The promoters must have known this and thus holding the cruise was the wrong decision.

And from what my friends say, guys were hardly searched. If we do not feel violated in a small way, the security guards did not do a good enough job searching us.

I think it was a good balance... generally speaking the presence of a search should be enough. Keep it random.

There needs to be a balance safety and personal privacy.

The searches are predominately to prevent weapons from being brought on board. Most women on the boat were not wearing very much therefore a physical pat down may not have been entirely necessary.

Miami and most New York don't even do bag checks. Let alone people checks.

Desyn, desyn, desyn... Not only was he EXTREMELY late (which I can forgive as apparently he was 'caught up in the airport'... and well even when you're a superstar DJ you still cant control late planes) but when he did arrive he comes in carry two HUGE stuffed animals and a grin on his face. He should have at least looked apologetic or something... Then I feel like he wasnt even behind the decks for half the set. He took off with his 'gf?' for a while... and I paid to see SOS, not Omid 16 and Demi.

While I do whole heartedly think that he should have been forced to take a water taxi...

I am going to have to disagree with you on Desyn's arrival. When he arrived on the top deck many people were cheering and clapping and he seemed apologetic and gracious. I can't speak for his time behind the decks as I was not close enough to tell.

On with my review...

I had a fabulous day. Friends are what really made the day what it was. My Yanks, the Irish and the boys from Dubai.

Fuad + Take Me Away = Golden.

I am curious to see why it was so short. I don't think it is fair to put blame on the captain or boat staff. They are paid for the service they provide. I do believe it does come down to the promotor and poor planning for this one. $50 a head should have gotten us a little more.

It was also pretty shitty that they did not have music on at the beginning. It may have been a good idea to have someone open...

I think the ladies and gentlemen responsible for the Rock the Boat parties have spoiled us lately. The quality between the 2 is night and day.

In spite of negatives mentioned above.. my 3.5 hours on the boat were kick ass and I had a great time.

my thoughts for now -

more to come.



Yves Murasca - Saxophobic Satisfaction (Christian Hornbostel Harpo Dub Mix)



Haji & Emanuel - Take Me Away (SOS Edit?)

I really have not much more to say that everyone hasn't mentioned already.

Very disappointed that the boat party was cut short; However,when the party was on, the party was on. The beats played on that boat blended perfectly with the vibe and the weather.

I had a great time with friends.

Went to the Docks after where Demi and Omid played for a couple hours... They were bangin' out the tunes and I'm glad they came back to give people who were on the boat some more. Kudos to them both and thank you.

For the people who I didn't already tell - I had my e-ticket folded ink-side-in, and when I handed it to the ticket girl she waved me on without even opening it. I could have saved myself the $50 and handed her a blank piece of paper.

Terrible..

As big a Desyn and SOS fan I am i horribly disappointed to read these reviews.
Worst part is, Desyn HAS this reputation for being late, so this kinda thing not only isn't surprising, but suspicious even.

Sucks.

Desyn getting a water taxi on CARIBANA SUNDAY isn't as easy as you guys suggest. The water taxis won't give a fuck if he is a dj or not...did you see how many boats were on the water for Caribana?!?! You guys would be just as pissed if the boat left on time without Desyn and he didn't get on. Either way, the promoters were in a no win situation...

Bullshit buddy, the water taxi sat there empty the whole time we were on the boat. I could see the fucking thing.

And let me tell you, I would not have been pissed if we had gone without him - disappointed but not pissed like I am now.
