Tragic
Tragic: (Adjective) Causing or characterized by extreme distress or sorrow.Remember New Kids on the Block's big reunion last year? So how's that been going, anyway? Well, I can tell you this, they've got one huge gig lined up. Just don't say I didn't tell you it was on a cruise ship.
Traveling from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. to the Bahamas, NKOTB will entertain fans on board with special performances and meet and greets. Jokes McIntyre: "We're not going to be drinking pina coladas, we'll be serving them!" (Source)
Wow. That would be funny if it weren't just s'darn sad. Oh, who am I kidding, it's still hilarious. But more hilarious in a way like if you're watching "America's Funniest Home Videos" and some guy accidentally gets hit in the nuts by a golf club. Like, "Yow, that smarts! But its still really fucking funny!"*

Jon was my fave, he is the quiet one, he looks so miserable :(
Look at that guy on the left. I can't believe no one in the early '90s noticed that one of the "Kids" was actually a horse. Music labels get away with everything.
Back in the day, when NKOTB was wildly popular with the little ones, I went to my local music-peddler to buy David Bowie tickets. (It was the Sound + Vision tour. Yep, I'm old. Remember record stores? But that's not my point...)
The store was teeming with tweens, screaming about some new kids or something. Turns out they were waiting to buy tickets to a NKOTB concert, which went on sale the same day as the Bowie tickets. These whippersnappers were ruining my chance to get prime seats to see my hero!
It really didn't help that every time I said I was here for David Bowie, a kid would snot out, "Who is that?" or "What does he sing?"
Ah, but who is on the Carnival Cruise now, kid?
Aw, is your former favorite band trying to scrape out the last remants of thier glory on the high seas? While that old English dude is sitting on his pile o'money with Iman? Mwahhhaahaahaa!!!
I know most of you think it's funny.... But it's almost sold out in about 24 hours. So I guess the New Kids will be laughing also, just on their way to the bank.
Tons of fans are upset because there are not enough tickets to go around.
The only tragedy I see here is not enough rooms for all these chicks....
Why do you still Bash? Are you all really still that angry that these 5 guys made you NOT get laid in middle school? Are you still mad that you came 2end best to a poster(cause that is all most of us could reach back then?) Now that they are back and in full circle, meeting with their fans this time around more and more and STILL selling out FASTER than ANY other artist around AFTER not being together AFTER 15 years!!! I think you have NOTHING to BASH except the fact that just MAYBE these guys are WONDERFUL performers and GREAT PEOPLE!!!! Thanks for that Kiss Donnie!!!! MUCH LOVE YOU GUYS! HAVE A KICK A** TIME on this Cruise!!!!

Thank you Alexa.. NKOTB fans are enjoying this reunion and for your info we're expecting more concerts from NKOTB not just this cruise... so your old english dude can sit on his money because NKOTB are STILL DOING THINGS IN THE MUSIC WORLD like playing sold out concerts.. this "tragic cruise" is a way for them to thank their fans
They must not be too much of loosers over 2000 tickets SOLDOUT in little over 24hrs time
They were hot back in the 90's and they still got it
I think most people have to take their heads out of their A** and see the NKOTB are back better then ever and David Bowie one thing is for sure he is just sitting around haven't heard of the p***k in 100 years

NKOTB Rule and will always
Seriously? What is your problem? New kids Rule! I would die to go on that cruise. They are selling out over and over. They are making money and I think you can not handle it.
Not to mention that they have thousands of women ages 20-35 drooling over them.
JEALOUS!!!
