7:45 PM Announcement with Tomorrow's Schedule Changes

Saturday, January 31st, 2026

Hey Rock Boaters! 

Sixthman Sarah here. Just a quick heads-up in case you missed it earlier — the Golden Tickets have all been found, so congrats to our lucky winners! 🎉

Tonight we’re celebrating Decades Night, with a full night of sets spanning the Summer of ’69 through Y2K and the early 2000s. What decade will you be sporting? I’ve got a 90s track suit that I’m going to guess at least a dozen of you also purchased off Amazon, let’s take a picture together!

Now talk keycards! All Rock Boat XXV branded keycards are now ready at NCL Guest Services. You can get yours switched out 24 hours a day. 

And now, an important announcement about TOMORROW, so you can plan ahead. Please note these are not for tonight — these changes take effect tomorrow after we return to the ship

Stephen Kellogg has a new venue and new time TOMORROW and will now play in Stardust at 9:30, with doors opening at 9:00 pm. 

The Positivity Jam with Brian Fechino and Friends will still be at 10:30 pm tomorrow night but they will have a new venue. You’ll now be able to catch the show in the Atrium.

And guess what? We’ve also added a brand-new show tomorrow night with Allen Mack Meyers Moore in Magnum’s at 10:15. 

Again that’s all tomorrow! It’s now reflected on Sixthman.net/today , so keep that site pulled up on your browser. 

Tonight’s still rolling. Plenty of music, plenty of memories left to make, so go soak it all in! See you out there.

 

ALL GOLDEN SCROLLS HAVE BEEN FOUND!

Saturday, January 31st, 2026

All FIVE Golden Scrolls have been found. Congratulations to those who located them!

4 PM Announcement

Saturday, January 31st, 2026

First up — TRB branded keycards are available at the NCL’s Guest Services Desk 24 hours a day. If you’re like me and collect your keycards, this is your moment. Swing by and grab a branded one today through our final day. They’re waiting for you! 

And if you haven’t yet, make sure you check out the TRB Time Capsule located in the Art Gallery on Deck 7. It’s an immersive space packed with nods to the past 25 years of The Rock Boat. And because we know you’ve got stories, memories, and a whole lot of TRB love to share, you’re going to want to find the Sixthman Phone Booth. Step inside, pick up the phone, and respond to the prompt—we want to hear from you.

Tonight’s a big night, Rock Boaters — we’re traveling through time!
The Decades Night Sets are officially taking over the ship, so grab your outfits, your friends, and your best throwback energy.

We kick things off with ’69, featuring Fantastic Cat & Friends, at 4:45 in the Atrium. Channel your inner flower child and go where the sound takes you.

At 6:00 PM, it’s That’s So ’70s, hosted by The Band Feel, bringing all the groove to the Sports Court. Bell bottoms optional, dancing highly encouraged.

Then at 8:30 PM, rewind to the golden age of music television with I WANT MY MTV: Celebrating the ’80s, featuring Red Wanting Blue with Carbon Leaf, Will Hoge, and The Alternate Routes, at 8:30 in Stardust Theater. Turn it up, strike a pose, repeat.

At 10:00 PM, crank it up with All That & A Bag of ’90s Jams, an all-star Sail-A-Bration on the Pool Deck at 10:00 PM.  From flannel to full volume, it’s not a phase—it’s a vibe.

And if you’re still going strong or ready to rally, close out the night with Don’t Panic! It’s a Y2K Afterparty, kicking off at 12:45 AM in the Atrium on Deck 7 Mid.

From Woodstock to Y2K, the decades are alive all night long—so dress loud, dance hard, and bounce between eras like the time travelers you are!

Grab a drink, grab a spot on the deck, and get ready for laid-back songs and full-on brunch vibes.

9:30 AM Announcement: Meet & Greet Ticket Update

Saturday, January 31st, 2026

Good Morning Rock Boaters. It seems our daily one sheet forgot to turn its clock forward for our meet and greet tickets this morning. Tickets will be handed out at 10 am -  one hour prior to the event. We are sorry for any confusion. Please stay tuned to www.sixthman.net/today for any updates.

9:00 PM Announcement

Friday, January 30th, 2026

Hey Rock Boaters!

Sixthman Sarah here. Tonight we tip our brims to the bold, the bizarre, and the beautifully unhinged as Mad Hatter energy takes over the ship. If your headwear defies logic, physics, or good judgment—perfect. You’re exactly where you belong.

Whether you’re grabbing a mic at karaoke, catching a late set, dancing until your legs give out at Shut Up & Dance, or learning Punk Rock 101 from people who actually lived it, — there’s no wrong move, only bold ones.

Before you finally call it a night, one very important housekeeping note: we have a time change tonight! At 2 AM it becomes 3 AM. Please be sure to set devices to Atlantic Time before heading to bed, as they will not update automatically—and we don’t want any Rock Boaters missing a single moment of tomorrow’s fun.

So straighten that hat, tip it to a stranger, and keep the party rollin’.

After all… we’re all mad here, and tonight proves it. 

See you out there. 

 

3 PM Announcement

Friday, January 30th, 2026

Hey Rock Boaters! 

Sixthman Sarah here, and this is your friendly reminder that The Rock Boat does not believe in downtime, and Day 2 on this milestone sailing is no different.

Attention all 2026 10xers! Your 10xers Photo happens at 4:45 PM on the Sports Court. Please bring or wear your 10xer robe and arrive a few minutes early!

The Lyrics for Life Silent Auction starts today, running 5:00 to 7:30 PM on The Pool Deck — bid big, give back, feel good.

What’s better than a beautiful sunset at sea? A sunset at sea with Ken & Drew! Head to Great Outdoors at 5:15 for an intimate set with undeniable vibes.

Have you checked out the TRB Time Capsule? It’s an immersive space filled with lots of nods to the past 25 years, and because we know you have so much TRB love & memories to share, you’re going to dig the Sixthman Phone Booth. Step inside, pick up the phone and respond to the prompt. We want to hear from you! 

I hope you’re all having the best time, and remember… You’re part of what makes TRB feel like home, and that’s what this whole thing is all about. 

See you out there!

Hey Rock Boaters!

Sixthman Sarah here, and welcome to the 25th Sailing of The Rock Boat!

As you know, we had to make a lineup change this morning and we want to give huge props to Switchfoot, who stepped in like absolute legends in the 11th hour and will be rocking with us starting in San Juan. Because of that change, you’ll notice a few schedule tweaks today. We’ll be dropping the updated tear-off schedules tomorrow morning on your cabin wheels, with extra copies available at Sixthman Guest Services. So keep an eye out. 

Tonight’s a reason to celebrate and many of you have already dusted off your vintage Rock Boat merch and are wearing it loud and proud! Y’all look GREAT! 

At 6:00 pm we have a Rock Boat Favorite with a twist, head up to Spinnaker for The Great Loot Exchange Swag Swap, and bring your TRB goodies, trade some treasures, and score yourself a Lord’s Loot Kingdom Pin.

At 7:45 PM, join us for the Sailaway Toast & TRB Family Photo on the Pool Deck, then Sister Hazel hits the stage for a memorable milestone set!

It’s Day One. It’s TRB 25. And the party already started. 

I’ll see you out there!
