Door decorations are back
Reportedly been a little confusion on the Facebook group, but door decorations are indeed back.
Are we allowed to decorate our cabin doors onboard the ship?
Yes! We are excited to bring back door decorating. The dimensions for the cabin doors are approximately 78″ tall and 26″ wide. However, if a guest damages their cabin or cabin door from decorations, they will be subject to fines from MSC. Please respect the ship!

Not sure exactly what years and what ships didn't allow them (2027 my 1st Jamcruise in 16 years), but we're so back.

Andriod fix can't find tv / device when trying to cast from app
This has been working for me, so I thought I'd share:
Can't find tv / device when trying to cast from app (android):
Drag down from top of phone / find media output up top. Click on it and then the Media output button within it. It shows your phone + the other device you are trying to find. When you click the device you want to cast to, the error message says something like can't share video when you are already sharing audio to a wifi device. Now go back to your app that you want to cast from & try again. You should now see the device & be able to cast.
Couch Tour August - Nugs

JRAD was on Jamcruise 14 (2016)
Warren Haynes was on Jamcruise 6 (2008)
Other members of Gov't Mule were on Jamcruise 9 as Stockholm Syndrome (2011). That one I saw.
I would absolutely love to see Mountain Grass Unit on a future Jamcruise.

Jamcruise 23 singles
Apparently the Cruisin’ Solo Program is the thing to check out if you are looking to get on the ship as a single & don't want to pay for double occupancy.
My first year was 2009 on Jamcruise 7, and I signed up through whatever this program was called at the time. 4 random singles in a cabin. No complaints. Not surprising that we were all like minded & got along great.
It sounds like there may or may not be an official singles program run by Cloud 9 this year? As always, it's hard to tell if you are not on Facebook. Hence this sub's existence.
Anyway, I would love it if people were able to connect through this sub & end up on the ship.
The Jamcruise site indicates 94% of cabins are sold out.

Holly Bowling live on Nugs now with Greensky Bluegrass
Jamcruise 23 piano phenom playing with Jamcruise 9 artists Greensky Bluegrass live now on nugs.net. Loved Greensky Bluegrass on Jamcruise 9. They sound excellent tonight. Holly is absolutely amazing.

moe. sounding absolutely delicious right now.
Umphrey's McGee live now on nugs
Nugs.net
TIL that Jake is officially no longer with the band. Knew he was away for personal reasons, but didn't catch the band made it official on 7/7/26.
Jake is an amazing guitar player, but Brendan suits my ear better.
Band sounds great.
Week in Nugs
Pretty solid week on nugs.net. Dumpstaphunk & moe. on the ship of course. Plenty of former Jamcruise performers.
Among other shows, watched Sierra Ferrell last night. That was beyond interesting to me. Wow.
Tedeschi & Trucks Band blew me away 8/8/26. Crazy there are 12 outrageously talented people in that band. One hell of a way to end it: Helpless > Loving Cup > Leaving Truck > Bound for Glory > You Can Make It If You Try > Everyday People

What's it like going on "specialty" cruises where a music band, comedian, specific artist, etc. invites fans to come along?
What I mean are cruises that appear to be designated for specialty events and such. Like music bands (varying genres) who advertise a cruise with a cruise line for <x> dates and invite their fans to come along and join them.
Or a dive shop invites everyone to book a cruise with them for <x> cruise line on <x> dates.
Or even a comedian or entertainer says "hey come along with us on this cruise with <x> cruise line to Alaska!"
Or even at a conference center where an event is going on, I'll see ads for cruises with specific groups of speakers and classes and such.
Are these "specialty" voyages actually independent of a cruise line's main schedule for a year, like a charter? Or is it merely just another cruise on the schedule, it's just the one that group happens to be signed up to be part of the entertainment for?
I was always curious about that when I would see those ads at a concert, show, or venue. Are the amenities and services pretty much the same as a "normally scheduled" cruise if they're truly independent?
