New Kids on the Block - Cruise Edition

At PTG, we're never short on cruise information (for best possible results, we recommend reading the Family Cruise List) and we're certainly never shocked by things that happen in the travel world. Well, "never" might be a bit strong. Because I was pretty shocked when I found out that the New Kids on the Block would be hosting a reunion tour on a cruise ship.

Yes, you read that line correctly.

"Our manager tells us this is not a cheesy thing, this is not a step back," says [Joey] McIntyre in the video.

The New Kids ship hits the water from May 15-18, launching from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., then heading to the Bahamas.

It will include musical performances and schmoozing.

"We're not going to be drinking pina coladas, we'll be serving them," McIntryre said.

It's almost, um, too good to believe, isn't it? Perhaps you've had a crush on Drama Donnie Wahlberg ever since you were rocking out braces. Or perhaps you've always just wanted to sit around at a cruise boat's pool, laugh with your friends and throw a margarita in Jordan Knight's face.

Either way, now's your time. Tickets go on sale this Wednesday, so you better get the jump on all those teeny boppers middle aged women that'll be first in line.

I am sooooo excited! I love NKOTB! Just looking at all these recent photos of them makes me reminisce on the times of rocking out to the tapes of The Right Stuff and Step by Step! I cannot wait!

You guys really need to stop hating on the NKOTB. All you reporters are just jealous. Well don't really know what your problems are. The cruise is going to be awesome. Us middle aged women(as you call us) are going to rock that boat with the five guys. You know that the still have The Right Stuff. They sure have had a strong come back. After 15 years they have sold out every show that they have done and the cruise sold out in 24 hours. Take that!! HA
