The 80s Cruise Entertainment is Epic! The 80s Cruise
Honeymoon Suite, formed in 1982 by Johnnie Dee and Derry Grehan, quickly gained attention with their hit “New Girl Now” in the Homegrown Contest. Signed by WEA Canada, the band’s debut album in 1984 achieved platinum sales. They toured extensively with notable acts and received a Juno nomination.
Lineup
We set sail from San Pedro, CA September 13rd - 16th, 2024 and stopping at Ensenada, MX.

As a genuine Jam fan, his passion and understanding of The Jam’s history is second to none and has toured the world playing to packed houses of Jam fans for years.

Currently, Andy tours solo but brings Erasure classics to his shows. With his dynamic dancing and smooth yet gutsy vocals, Morris Day played an essential role in the development of the Twin City dance/club sound of the 1980s. A founding member of Prince’s band, The Time, in 1981, he remained with the group until 1984 when he launched his solo career.

He is also considered the most sampled reggae artist of all time. “Pass the Dutchie” has become an enduring classic and experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to its inclusion in Stranger Things Season 4, where it became a TikTok sensation and reached number 1 once again. The song also appeared at number 2 on the Top TV Songs chart and reached number 120 on the Global 200, as well as number 196 on the Billboard Global Excl US charts.

Musical Youth
He released 10 albums over 11 years and his early projects made him an instant success at home and across Europe. Pioneering records like Party Time introduced the fusion of rap and go-go. Hit songs like “8 Million Stories”, “AJ”, and “Basketball” were simply ahead of their time, and still get spins by DJs today. Fellow rap legend Nas debuted at #1 on the Billboard Charts with a cover of Kurtis’ “If I Ruled the World” in 1997. Cross started his own label and, since 2007, has released 8 albums of new material, including A Christopher Cross Christmas and The Café Carlyle Sessions, jazz treatments of hits and favorites born out of a residency at the famous Hotel Carlyle in New York City.
In 1979, at the age of 20, Kurtis Blow became the first rapper to be signed by a major label. He released Christmas Rappin’, which sold over 400,000 copies and became an annual classic. Its gold follow-up, The Breaks, helped ignite an international “rap attack,” solidifying the new art form.
All-Inclusive 80s Party of a Lifetime!
Billboard charts, reaching #4, a feat it repeated in the UK Singles Chart some months later. The same year, the band had their biggest hit with the ballad, “China in Your Hand,” which spent five weeks at Number One in the UK chart, and also claimed the top slot in several European countries, although oddly the song made little impact on the U.S. Adding Gary "Gazza" Johnson (bass) and Kevin Wilkinson (drums) to the line-up, a second album, Working with Fire and Steel - Possible Pop Songs Volume Two, was released in November 1983.
Starring
The success continued with the platinum-selling second album, ‘The Big Prize,’ in 1986, featuring collaborations with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Despite challenges, including injuries to Johnnie Dee, the band persevered with albums like ‘Racing After Midnight’ in 1988. The 80s Cruise is ecstatic to welcome Mark Goodman on deck as one of our celebrity hosts. Though he launched his successful career in radio, Goodman is best recognized as an original VJ (video jockey) for MTV, where he spent much of the 80s interviewing some of the biggest names in the music industry – Paul McCartney, Sting and Bruce Springsteen included.
Perhaps Bruce’s most notable work “Smithers-Jones”, the story of the city executive who soon finds he has been chewed up & spat out, is just as pertinent today as it was in 1979 when he wrote it for the Setting Sons LP. At the age of 5, Sheila gave her first public performance for an audience of 3,000, appearing alongside her dad. It was while on that stage playing a drum solo that Sheila first realized she was going to be a percussionist.
Just two months after Live Aid, Midge was back at No. 1 in Britain, this time under his own name, with “If I Was,” and by the autumn he had a No. 2 solo album to accompany it, entitled The Gift. Further solo albums followed with Answers to Nothing in 1988 and Pure in 1991 on BMG. Currently the band is developing a musical based on their alternate world, Spudland, populated with such characters as Booji Boy, Dr. Byrthfood and the nefarious Rod Rooter as well as placing finishing touches on a darkly comic, “DEVO origins” feature film script. The band is confident that these major endeavors, when realized will show a new generation that de-evolution is real.
The culmination of most '80s high school rom-coms took place at the prom. Whether you were a geek or glam, the annual dance was primarily a dates-only, must-attend event. The 80s Cruise allows you to do the prom all over again, this time your way. Dress in a vintage strapless, resurrect a bubble skirt or go Goth; it's all rad. Their third album, Flaunt the Imperfection, was produced by Walter Becker of Steely Dan fame and reached #9 in the UK Albums Chart in May 1985.
We set sail from San Pedro, CA May 3rd - 6th, 2024 and stopping at Ensenada, MX over Cinco de Mayo Weekend aboard Royal Caribbean’s spectacular Navigator of the Seas. You will have nonstop entertainment while making lifelong memories and friends. In addition to achieving worldwide success with “Pass the Dutchie,” Kelvin Grant has the distinction of being the youngest person with a number 1 hit to his name.
The band gained international recognition with their debut album “The Youth of Today,” released in 1982. The album featured their smash hit single “Pass the Dutchie,” which topped the UK Singles Chart and became a global sensation. It also reached the 10th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. “Pass the Dutchie” even stayed at number 1 in New Zealand for 20 weeks.
Founding member Colin Hay has developed a solo career over the last 35years, writing, recording, and touring extensively throughout the world as a solo artist. The band went on to become a globally successful Grammy winning, multi-platinum selling act, during the early 80’s. The original band, however, came apart relatively quickly and had disintegrated by 1985. The 80s Cruise strongly recommends that all guests travel with a valid passport with at least six (6) months validity post cruise during their sailing. OK, cruisers of a certain age -- you might not be the kids in America anymore. Luckily, you can book a trip on an '80s theme cruise that brings out your inner child, circa 1985.
