Following the incredible demand for the sold-out 7-night Rock the Boat 2025 cruise, this additional voyage will sail from October 26-29, 2025, aboard Carnival Luminosa. It will offer guests an unforgettable, scenic rock music experience at sea. For the first time in history, we are doing two Rock the Boat voyages in one year!!

Rock the Boat 2025, Vol. II Details:

PRE-SALE STARTS NOW:

For all passengers who are already booked on Rock The Boat 2025 wishing to go on both - making it a full rockin' 10-night voyage - please check your email inboxes as we have sent you an exclusive link to submit your advance cabin booking to be in the same room across both rooms (and not have to move cabins). NOTE* If you booked through a travel agent they have been sent the link.

***IMPORTANT*** FAKE PAGE - BEWARE
Morning Rockers! A reminder that there are two official channels on Facebook for our Rock The Boat cruises:
1. This page
2. Our group Rock The Boat Official Group

BEWARE of any other pages/groups i.e. one called Rock The Boat 2025, it is a fake page and has now 4.3k likes, like the recent Rock The Boat 2024 voyage, the page waited and shared our posts throughout the year (seemingly harmless) however waited until the cruise was on and then tried to scam people their card information for a live stream link. They have made a fake profile called Rock The Boat and much like scam emails you receive, it seems legitimate but not C*C/nor affiliated with us.

We have received many emails and calls stating we are falsely advertising Rock The Boat 2025. This is the fake page (pictured below). The Jimmy Barnes Rock The Boat is still sold out. You can email [email protected] to be added to a cancellation waitlist, but again, be aware that this is not C*C and, in fact, a fake page/group.

A few important things to remember -
> We will never offer a paid live stream link to view any cruise performances
> Beware of any pages not managed and maintained by the C*C team, certainly post and share tips, etc. if you wish, but unofficial pages managed by fake profile admins are at high risk for nefarious behavior/potential future scam attempts.
> We will be releasing soon the 3-night Rock The Boat Vol.II cruise however we are still in preregistration status, you can preregister here > www.rocktheboatvol2.com.au

We have attempted to report this group many times to Facebook, but they still have not removed it, so if our passengers have two minutes to report >> Rock The Boat 2025

What. A. Cruise.
Thankyou to all our amazing passengers and artists - tonight’s the final night as they say… go hard or go home!

What a week it has been, incredible hardworking artists, every single one with memorable performances across multiple venues on the ship. Happy passengers dancing hard, making good use of those beverage packages and supporting real Australian artists.

We will all need a holiday after the holiday to get over this incredible rockin’ week!

We love what we do and we will continue to work hard, push the boundaries of what music cruises in Australia can be and grow as a festival along with you our cruise family. Thankyou.

The C*C team.

**CHOOSE YOUR CRUISE APP UPDATE**

Ahoy 2024 Cruisers!

We are now only days away from the start of our 2024 Cruise season, a fantastic floating celebration of world-leading Artists spanning the decades, with over 150+ entertainers, plus many more exciting activities set to take over the Carnival Luminosa across three full-ship charters.

With regards to the official Choose Your Cruise App, available now in the Apple and Android App stores, is searchable by typing CHOOSE YOUR CRUISE for free download.

This is a handy app to use onboard in favoriting your performances each day - which will also send push notifications reminding you e.g. "Marcia Hines Pool Deck Mainstage starting in 15 minutes". It is an app we have built ourselves to give passengers a digital version of the schedule on board throughout the voyage for quick access.

NOTE* You do not need internet onboard to use the app however if there are changes to the schedule (which can be subject to change) if you do not have an internet connection onboard, it will not auto-update the changes - you can still view each day with your Carnival FUNTIMES newsletter which will be in your room delivered daily in paper copy.

We are in the process of uploading the schedule which will come into view late next week/the app will update to reflect the 2024 sailings, so for now don't fret it is showing 2023's voyages, as our developers will be switching it over to view this coming charter mid to late next week, to view the schedule.

Please NOTE* Your Carnival app is relative to your cruise planner and for pre-purchasing beverage packages etc. however it will not show the entertainment schedule, the CHOOSE YOUR CRUISE free app is your digital destination for how to view the schedule once live pre-cruise and onboard.

During these challenging times, we want to thank our loyal passengers for their support and reassure you that our team is focused on continuously working day and night behind the scenes to ensure the voyage and entertainment schedule on offer is the best possible experience for our guests.

26/09/2024

Choose Your Cruise are pleased to confirm a $50.00 onboard credit to each guest sailing with us on our 2024 cruise season on board Carnival Luminosa.

DON'T MISS THE BOAT!!

*BEWARE OF FAKE ROCK THE BOAT GROUPS/PAGES*
This is a public service announcement - there is a third-party group, not created or affiliated with our Rock The Boat cruises with fake/overseas admins so far as to have also created a fake Rock The Boat profile so the group seems legitimate. These admins (from overseas) are simply resharing and copying our official content. We cannot moderate this content and there are many of our passengers who have liked the group (3.5 thousand) thinking we run the group named Rock The Boat 2024 - so beware of people claiming to sell cabins/come in and join on the cruise, purchasing anything that is not directly from Choose Your Cruise or content in that group in general, as you may be scammed (and some people we are finding out are).

Again, the ONLY official Rock The Boat page is Rock The Boat, and the official and only passenger group run by C*C is > Rock The Boat Official Group. Again beware of any other groups or members in those groups claiming to sell their cabin, artist experience, merch, or otherwise.

If in doubt reach out to [email protected], or call 1300 247 371. Again, this page is not moderated or affiliated with our Rock The Boat brand or the Choose Your Cruise organization in any way, and therefore we take no responsibility for actions and posts in other groups so beware of what is being posted and advertised in this forum. We live in a world where identities are stolen, money being taken from good people so unless Choose Your Cruise or Rock The Boat directly are communicating key information and opportunities to you, know the risks in other groups so you do not get compromised financially.
All the best
C*C/Rock The Boat team.
