Have you ever wanted to go on a cruise…with your favorite band? Well good news Weezer fans; now you can.

 
The band has partnered with Carnival Cruises, and is putting on a “Weezer Cruise.” The cruise will begin on Jan. 19 until the 23 in the beginning of 2012. The cruise will leave from Miami, Florida and will go to Cozumel, Mexico.

The boys in Weezer are bringing along 16 other bands to entertain guests while sailing the Gulf of Mexico.

Throughout the cruise, the bands will be performing and interacting with their fellow sailors. Weezer will perform a total of three times during the cruise; twice on-board, and once when Mexico is reached.
When Weezer isn’t performing, other bands such as Dinosaur Jr., Yuck, and Free Energy will be entertaining guests. However, Weezer will not be out of the picture. Each member of the band will be holding special events throughout the cruise.

Frontman Rivers Cuomo will be reading certain sections from his book “The Pinkerton Diaries”.

Bassist Scott Shriner will be “spicing things up” with married couples on board, as he will be renewing vows while at sea.

Drummer turned guitarist Pat Wilson will bring out the competitive side in everybody by holding a shuffleboard tournament on the ship’s deck.

Guitarist Brian Bell will entertain the night birds, who will probably be too amped from the concerts to sleep, by presenting a midnight movie on deck with the passengers.

All the final details, such as movie selection and other events yet to be released, so be sure that Weezer will have another surprise or two waiting.

On top of those special events, Weezer also has special theme nights prepared.
Since the Carnival Destiny cruise ship that they will be on has a “dance hall” on board, the band decided to take full use of it. They are scheduling  an 80’s Prom Night, where they want the guests to come dressed in their best 80’s style and will invite them to dance to the greatest hits of the 80’s.
In addition to the makeshift prom, they are also have an 80’s karaoke night, becuase everybody is already in their best gear.

One of Weezers best known songs is entitled “Undone (The Sweater Song)” and features the line “If you want to destroy my sweater…” So they decided to run with that famous line, and host an “ugly sweater night” while sailing. It’s basically exactly what it sounds like; just wear your ugliest sweater, and point and laugh at all the other hideous ones.

As mentioned before, Weezer and the special guest bands will be partaking in all of these activities. On top of these announced ones, they still have unreleased plans that will be revealed as the date of departure approaches. In fact, as this is being typed, they just announced a new event.

Comedian Doug Benson will be joining the Weezer Cruise and will be recording an “episode” of his podcast “Doug Loves Movies” and will include two members of Weezer as special guests.

There are still more events to be announced, but if this seems like something you’d love to do (and you happen to have a lot of extra money lying around) there are still limited tickets and rooms available for the ship.
