50's/60's cruise -AAA/Malt Shop/etc.

I have heard of the 50's/60's rock & roll cruises through AAA, and also Malt Shop, and there probably are more.

I am trying to compare "prices," especially. I know all these 50's & 60's rock & roll cruises are about the same.

I know it depends upon how many entertainers they have also, so maybe that is what makes the difference on price???

I have been on cruises where AAA was putting them on, but we were not able to attend, but they did not take over the whole ship.

I believe with the Malt Shop, they take over the whole ship.

My question, if you have done the cruise through AAA, or even through Malt Shop, etc., or know of anyone that has, "pricewise", is one better than the other, or the price about the same?

I have done many cruises, but nothing with this theme.

I can only comment on the Malt shop cruise as I have said before the prices are higher that a normal cruise but you get morning to night entertainment

You get to talk to the performers they are willing to stop & chat when you see them around the ship

The gratuities are added to the bottom line & no way to remove them

lots of things going on sometimes too much to do

Yes MSMC does charter the whole ship ..so everyone is there for the same reason ..no scowly faces when you are allowed into the private functions from the other guests

try it you may enjoy it :D

Thanks for your feedback.

Cool Cruiser

IMHO, what it really boils down to is how big of a FAN are you of the music and the artists..if you look at the line up of the full charter music theme cruises (i.e. MSM etc) and if at least 3 of the acts you would pay to see if they had a concert in your town , then the full charters are well worth the cost difference...

I agree 150% with beshears...the energy of both guests and artists on a full charter is incredible and you will make life time friends that you will probably see every year on the charter...it is impossible to do everything, but that's ok...you do alittle bit of everything and enjoy the spirit

check out the Rocky and the Roller cruises with AAA. The have on next March 2018 to eastern and western Caribbean and May 2017 to Alaska. There are usually only 800 oldies cruisers on the ship unlike Malt Shop which is the entire ship.

Irishone127, is the Rocky & the rollers w/AAA at 800 648-8272, or is this a another number I have for a group similar to this that is connected with AAA?

Hi... I have been on 5 Malt Shop cruises and 2 Flower Power cruises and yes I can confirm that the price is substantially higher than a normal cruise. Malt Shop & Flower Power charter the whole ship and if you love this music that's the place to be. definitely worth the money for me because I enjoy that music alot. This will be my first AAA 50s cruise and I'm very excited about it. It is not as expensive as the Malt Shop one but they are not chartering the ship and I'm looking forward to a balance of regular cruise and cruise activities plus the extra music. I will let you know how it is next March. Have a great night.

This will be my first AAA cruise March 11 can't wait.

Maryjo, thanks for getting back with me on this. At this point, I still have not taken any of these type of cruises as yet. Actually there were 8 (never done this large of a group before) of us that went in March on a nice cruise and had a great time.

You say you will be doing a cruise through AAA in March? Do I have to join AAA and use their services to do this? You said it is cheaper, and as you can probably guess, that is what I am looking for. I just retired after working for a very large corporate office as their receptionist, so as you can guess, the money is NOT flowing in like before.

If you don't get back with me before, yes I would like to know how your March AAA cruise went.

Hi Brenda, when I said it was less expensive I meant as compared to Malt Shop cruise (which is fully chartered)... it is more expensive than if you are booking a regular RCL cruise on Oasis. Hope that helps.

That's awesome! It's such a great lineup I cannot wait. I'm traveling with my 29 year old daughter and she's more excited than I am. LOL.

Look forward to seeing you aboard ship

Cruiser from Ohio

We have did 5 cruises with the concert at sea group and it is usually in Jan. however we can not go this year in Jan and wondering if anyone can compare that with the Rocky and Roller cruises, they have two in March 2018 and considering one of those.

We love the Concert at Sea , very well put together and lots of fun

Cruiser from Ohio, I would like to know your answer as well, as I don't cruise out of "Missouri" in January.

Music cruises to set sail on the high seas in 2024 and 2025

R ocking and rolling is not how most people prefer their cruise ships. However, if you're sailing on a music-themed cruise, rock 'n' roll is the vibe you want as you soak up some sun and cruise the world with thousands of like-minded music fans.

Music-themed cruises cover a wide array of styles, including rock, metal, country, Broadway, disco and blues. They offer a complete immersion into the world of each genre. You'll enjoy close-up encounters with your favorite artists during performances and meet-and-greets and find a sense of community from being with other fans for multiple days at sea. (Not to mention, you'll get to visit beautiful destinations in the process.)

For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Note that these specialty music cruises sell out — often as soon as cabins are made available. All sold-out cruises we're featuring offer a waitlist you can join. You'll be notified if someone cancels, as well as be among the first to be alerted of on-sale dates for future sailings.

Below are 11 music-themed cruises in 2024 and 2025 that are bound to create epic memories, whether your vibe is crowd-surfing during a rock show or belting out show tunes with Broadway's best.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, cruise fares are per person, based on double occupancy, and include cruise basics like meals, select nonalcoholic beverages (water, juice, coffee and tea) and use of the fitness center, hot tubs, pools and casino, among other onboard amenities.

Soft drink and alcohol packages are available for an extra fee. Theme cruise events, such as concerts, are included, though some limited-access special events often cost extra. Fares were valid as of writing but are subject to change based on availability.
