Less than two months away, and Jam Cruise 12 will embark on a fantastic voyage (without Coolio) to Jamaica and the Bahamas on a new, bigger vessel, the MSC Divina, from January 4th-9th. Jam Cruisers will set sail out of Miami, FL, spend 5 days and 5 nights partying with like-minded fans and musicians, bear witness to some of the best sets of music they will see all year from some of their favorite artists, and….did we mention the collaborations that are sure to take place? For any Jam Cruise veteran, you know what you are in store for. For any rookies, get ready to have the time of your life.

As we draw closer to January 4th, the daily artist schedule has been revealed, making for an excruciating wait. With two sets from pretty much every band aboard the MSC Divina, things will definitely get interesting. And there will be conflicts, but conflicts that we will certainly be able to live with. Want to see Thievery Corporation on the Pool Deck from 11:15-12:45? But, wait, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe is playing a Ray Charles Tribute in the Pantheon Theater from 11:30-1:30! That’s alright, Thievery plays again on Jan. 7th in the Pantheon Theater….during Bootsy Collins on the Pool Deck and Mike Dillon in the Black & White Lounge?!?!  Well, that’s alright, we can catch Bootsy on the 5th in the Pantheon….but wait, that’s during The Revivalists set, AND Les Claypool?!?!

Yes, we understand the emotional toll this may take on you. Bring plenty of TUMS for that indigestion you just gave yourself. Though, there are some that would call these “Gold Plate Problems” to your average Jam Cruiser, these are epic life choices.

Well, if you are looking to make your head spin with all the “tough” choices you will be faced with on Jam Cruise, take a look at the full schedule here. Warning, take a few deep breaths before you view the schedule, and have a bottle of aspirin ready, because your head may hurt from your eyes popping out of their sockets.

Or, you can just go with the flow, and let Jam Cruise come to you. Because, if there is one thing we can assure you, it most definitely will come to you. And you will love every minute of it all.
