New Kids On The Block Taking It To The High Seas
Filed under: Music Minute > New Kids On The Block
So once all your fans have grown up it's time to perform at venues more appropriate to their age group.
Like…a cruise!
So, ladies, if you wanna throw your granny panties at the New Kids On The Block, you're going to have to buy yourself a cruise ticket and get on board.
The Kids Men will be performing on a cruise from May 15th to the 18th. The cruise will sail from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. to the Bahamas.
Trapped on a boat with raging NKOTB fans?
This sounds like a recipe for some serious disaster! Or for some serious hilarity!
Will all the gays come out to support Jonathan???

the gays will be there — drunk and center
ahahahaha this just proves their little "comeback" was a joke, their careers are officially DEAD
first!
LAME…
haha. first!!
Their single SUUUUUUUCKED! Why are they still trying to be together after their stupid "comeback" tour. Thousands of 35 year-olds got their fix… but now it's time to go away and retire. It's sad.
1st
EWW Fugly! The guy in the middle looks like the lead singer from Blue October.
Only cute one. I don't think anyone will show up.
BLOCKHEADS FOREVER!! XO XO XO
Why even bring up that Jonathan is gay?? You have such an agenda. Enough already, you stereotype yourself douchebag
THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME STILL! I SAW THEM ON THE VIEW AND THEIR DANCING, THEIR VOCALS…DAMN THESE GUYS ARE NEAT. LOVE THEM.
I do NOT wear granny panties!!! I'm only 28… and I want to go!!! BTW, they have a HUGE fanbase, and the tour was extremely successful.. so all you haters out there.. fuck off.. and shame on you for bring up Jon's sexuality.. agian..
GREAT!!! Easy for aging groupies like me to pull!!!!!!!!!
GOOD FOR HIM IF HE'S GAY. HE'S MY AGE AND WE'RE BOTH HOLDING UP PRETTY WELL I MUST SAY!
Oh I pray the gays will be there!!!
Please come! We
Wait a minute…WHY NOT bring up the fact that Jon is gay?
I'm a fan girl too…but fan girls who act psycho over Jon preferring to suck cock really and truly need to grow the fuck up and step down already.
I truly hope other artist are reading this, this is what happens when you think you've made all the money you will ever need and don't plan you future right. But really would people actually pay for this? LMAO@
They're financially set for life and their tour SOLD OUT. They said they came back for their FANS and they have a HUGE fan base still to this day.
And Perez, whether or not Jon decides to come out is HIS BUSINESS. It's NOT YOUR JOB OR YOU BUSINESS!
I'm 26 years old, wear thongs and I'm still in love! They've still got it! Haters keep hatin! Whatev!
Re: DanaMarie=] –
How are you going to say their comeback was a joke? Their tour sold out in tons of cities and was one of the most successful tours of the year. Also, lots of bands/singers are doing the cruise thing, such as John Mayer and Kenny Chesney. Get your facts straight before writing such a ridiculous comment.
Ohhhh Donnie Wahlberg, I was so in love with you when I was a screaming pubescent girl. I saw you in concert and fell in love with you. I knew you would love me too, if you only knew me. When I was on vacation I got a New Kids on the Block beach towel. I've gone on to greener pastures and I don't love you anymore Donny, but I still have the towel. Sorry the comeback went bust, but I still have to give you all props for being one of the first boy bands back in the day. Bye Donnie, it was fun …
yeah… i would so go if i could
wow SHAAAAAMELESS advertising tropicana juice
SHAAAAAMMEEEELLLESSSSS……………….
its consumerific!!
Until Johnathan offically comes out of the closet. Hes not gay. Just becsaue you suck cock, doenst mean he does
THEIR TOUR BOMBED….END OF STORY
Re: Valboski516 –
My facts are straight, they followed the comeback trend like everyone else and failed horribly, the most successful tours of 2008 were Madonna, Celine Dion, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen…so you can get your facts straight because New Kids on the Block were nowhere to be found
i hope their boat sinks!
I'm 26 and do not wear granny panties! so John Mayer's career is over too cause he also does fan cruises?? I guess having a sold out world tour is a failure.
Re: DanaMarie=] – If having a number 2 album in America, number 1 album in Canada and selling out such huge venues as Madison Square Garden is BOMBING then you are completely delusional!
I went to one of their concerts and they rock! I wanna go to that cruise!! and I don't wear granny panties.
And come on Perez I am sure you were crazy about them.
Re: edenhig – Thank you! I'm 22 and LOVE THEM. Can't wait for the cruise! I really don't care what any of you say…they are awesome and thats the end of it!
i'm 32 and excited for not only the cruise (i live in seattle and can't afford the ticket to fly to ft lauderdale) but their tour dates in the us (being released in february!)! for those who are saying that they're tour SUCKED please check on the net, from what i believe they sold out most venues they played in. who cares if jonathan is gay? i don't understand why his sexuality is anyone's business but his. it doesn't affect his performances. because you're gay, perez, does that make you a bad person? no.
.
.
to all the blockheads that are still around here and supportive on the guys… get ready for your face time in 2009!!
love 'em.
wish i could be there.
seriouslly.
Have you seen the prices for this cruise? HA! Ridiculous, and I'm a fan!
Price is CRAZY but YAY!
Stop being so envious Piggy, your posts just confirm that you are a closeted homophobic… it's so disgusting to read you dissing on gay ppl, you are embarrasing to the gay community!
might as well come all the way out the closet fellas.. cuz this is the gayest, most lamest thing i have ever heard of
i wanna gooooooooooo
Oh my gosh, *lol* You would have to pay me to go see them!
Re: Valboski516 –
lmao if you think your making me angry your doing the complete oppostie, im saying if they sold out venues and blah blah blah why weren't they even on the top ten tours of 2008?????
stupid pork chops!
Bro, you know you are the same age as their fan base right? Do you wear the granny panties? Step away from the self-loathing and stop with these outting witch hunts. It doesn't make you a friend to gay people, it highlights your own insecurity. The Block is a good CD. The US tour was a HUGE success and their fans love them now as much as we did 20 years ago…except for those few who quaked in their wittle boots when somebody made fun of them for it and they never really recovered. Sorry, folks, but not everyone is just dying inside for the approval of the cool kids. I got over that in middle school.
Their tour was largely sold out which is tough to do in this economy. Saying the tour was a failure doesn't make it true. To quote that famed philospher, Donnie Wahlberg, and all ya'll claiming to have gotten over your New Kid crush will remember it from back in the day when you were glued to your t.v. set watching them: "I'm gonna send this one out to all those jealous, no-good knuckleheads who've been tryin to keep us down. But we ain't goin out like that. And if you think so you can kiss my butt."
THEY DID THIS BEFORE BACK IN 1990! They did a "Magic Summer Cruise" for competition winners during the US Magic Summer Tour of 1990.
I LOVED these guys when I was younger. I'm 29 now, and YES I went to their concert with a bunch of my girlfriends and it was the BEST time EVER! We LOVED it all over again! I would TOTALLY go on the cruise… well if the economy wasn't so bad….
Is Jonathan gay? I likes their new music…. which sounded like their old music…
ummm, lets clear a few things up. I am 33, a HUGE fan, and I DON'T wear granny panties. Secondly, NKOTB was the 6th most successfull tour for the year 2008. In my book, that's pretty impressive. Third - Perez, we don't care which way Jon swings - we love him anyway…so stop being a hypocrit! Talk about self-loathing…..
I would on this cruise in a heartbeat, but I am trying to save up my money for the next tour so I can get some FACE TIME IN 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NKOTB rocks my socks off~!!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~!!!!~
First, fuck all the haters! Second, If you keep calling my Jonathan gay, somebody is gonna get hurt. Period. I do recall dumb ass' back in the day trying to peg Jordan as "being the gay one".
Re: tizzielish –
I couldn't (and didn't) have said it better myself!!!
Re: Riot4ever –
That was fuckin' beautiful! I will my bean town possie for life!
Too bad the cheapest room with NO window is $799! Don't get me wrong I LOVE NKOTB but $799 for 3 days? Not so much!
New "KIDS" Are you kidding? Are guys just steps away from Social Security still called KIDS?
hell…the Rolling Stones are still around and I think they'll still be around when they're wheeling themselves up on stage and nobody says anything about that. The New Kids are by far still one of the best out there.
Sorry to break it to you commenters - but their tour didn't bomb! You can't sell out numerous venues (and on top of that, have to book additional shows at those same venues as a result and sell those out as well) and call the tour a bomb! They have a huge fan base out there, me included. I would love to go on this - the idea of being trapped on a boat with Joe McIntyre is just too much to handle.
Ok, first of all, this has to be a rumor and it looks like u started it because no where on their site does it say that. Second, their concert was a success, for all of you rejects that have no idea of what ur talking about. and Third, if their is a cruise, I would definitely want to go and be stuck in a cruise with these five hotties.
hello glad i”m not there with nkotb fans i like straight men
cosmopoltian has alot of them i missed the cruise anway i went to montery bay than
i like the nkotb there just not all straight
Hey, check the website, the cruise is about 80% sold out (in the first hour alone), and tickets ranged from 800-5,000 (with the high-end tickets gone). So. . .yeah, it was a bust.
On one hand I want to go. Then I really think about it and say Nah. I mean I hate to miss out on this experience with the guys but I also don't want some crazy bitch throwing me over board for kissing Donnie. Lol. And the cost for the basic room not to mention travel costs, time off, and extra money is a lot right now. After next months tax return I might be able to swing it but no doubt it will be sold out by then. Plus there will be so many people on that ship that trying to get any quality time with the guys is gonna be hard. I don't know. I think I still wish I was going. Hehehe.
Jonathan…be prepared!!
Back in October, I went to the NKOTB concert at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. It was sold out, and a phenomenal concert. I am one of the lucky people that purchased two tickets for this trip, and I am very excited. I cant wait for it to arrive already.
BTW–so you know it is sailing out of Miami–Port of Miami to be exact.
Re: DanaMarie=] –
You must be illiterate because they sold out in boston twice, Canada three times, and the rest of their tour was sold out as well. You're not even a fan so how could you know unless you were at one of those concerts yourself.
Dammit! I'm getting married May 15th and going on a cruise for the honeymoon. You should have picked my cruiseeeee!!!!
You just had to get that dig in about Jon huh? Remember Karma BITCH!
Oh Perez - you could only dream of being even a smidgen as famous, successful and talented as these 5 men. All you do is sit behind your computer all day and talk crap about other people. You will never have a loyal fanbase who follows you for 20 years and still loves you just as much as they did years ago. You won't be remembered for anything other than being a "blogger" who likes to try and "out" people who may or may not be gay. Why do that? Would you like it if someone did that to you when you first "came out"? I highly doubt it.
STOP WITH THE HATE AND JEALOUSY!! YOU COULD NEVER EVEN DREAM TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK. GO SIT BACK DOWN BEHIND YOUR COMPUTER AND TYPE SOME MORE. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT JOB YOU HAVE! Dumbass.
P.S. - NKOTB FOREVER!!
ugh, why is the gay one always the ugliest in the group?
i find it amusing how many people are claiming their comeback was a joke when they sold out most of their tour. they banked off that shit, don't be jealous that they can still look that good in their 30s and you can't. and for the record, i'm only in my 20s and everyone i know that went to see them are also in their 20s, so perez you should stop talking shit about the ages of their fans when most of us are younger than you.
Re: DanaMarie=] – you do realize there are countless lists of what are considered the best tours of 2008, right? nkotb is on some, they aren't on others. fact of the matter is, they played large venues (20,000+ seats) and sold out almost all of them and even had to add extra dates in some places that also sold out as well. their comeback was hardly a joke. i find it pathetic that people like you who claim to not like them are coming in here and commenting about how their comeback was a joke. sounds to me like you're one of those poor girls who couldn't handle getting teased for liking them so you pretend to hate them and now you're just mad you didn't get to go see them because you're too insecure to admit to being a fan. it's okay if the cool kids don't like you.
Re: DanaMarie=] – Tickets for the cruise went on sale on Wednesday, it is now Friday and guess what is SOLD OUT? I bet now you are going to tell me this cruise thing was a failure too? HA! These 5 men are laughing all the way to the bank
Just wanted to say that the fall tour was super successful, the boys, ahem, men are overseas right now, have booked spring tour dates and sold out a massive cruise ship in a few hours. We all think they are still hot and are proving we will spend our adult money, for a while longer anyway, to relive our childhood love. Although, I will say, my friend and I are going on the cruise as part of our vacation and I am dreading the "crazies." The girls with the guys' names tattooed on them and just absolute mental problems. That should be hilarious to watch while drunk and sunning. Then, the whores who will be nakedly stalking the guys around the boat. We are just hoping we can find some vacation boyfriends in the Bahamas for our day of docking because the only 4 straight men on that boat are going to be seriously attacked. They are insane for doing this……
theyve still got it no granny panties for me and haters whatev keep hatin u wish it was u and single didn't suck and their careres ar so nawt over. theyre the sexiest group out there.
