USC’s new Spring sailing opens up a host of newpossibilities and destinations in the Eastern Caribbean. USC also announced a new partnership with theU.S. We lookforward to welcoming all of our USC Family on board in April and November 2023 for an epic experiencebeyond the music. We are very excited about our new partnership with the US Virgin Islands and theUSVI Division of Festivals. Was still vibes , but you could kind of tell people was tired , because they went through 2 other events that day , it still had vibes. ( bunji performed , did his speech about don’t be ashamed of heritage and what not , did his free style ) Bunji I didn’t mind seeing his performance , he usually put on a good show .
The Schedule & THEMES
It’s one thing to go to an event and have to drive home fully intoxicated and exhausted. But when the drive is a walk- let’s just say I felt like I hit the jackpot. As someone who dabbles in event production from time to time, witnessing the series of events and artist/dj line ups justified the cost for me. While there were a few areas or items I would do differently, I was mainly satisfied with the product I received and the memories I was able to create.
St. Lucia Carnival 2019: A Review of Xuvo Carnival
The DJs were playing our fave tracks, a couple of people were finishing their nips and there was a fete in the parking lot. We were doing last minute packing and giving our luggage to the cruise attendants, while catching up with friends and acquaintances. DAMM membership cost $250 and went towards your reservation if you decided to go. If you chose not to go, you were able to receive your money back (less $50 for administrative fees) within 2 days of official launch if you sent a written request to Ubersoca Cruise.

UBERSOCA CRUISE 2018 REVIEW
USC challenged our competitive spirit with this theme, but I do not remember them announcing a winner. No one seemed to care - the music was banging and the vibes were everything. Before we stepped into the building, we were lit!
Sail Away Party
This year, I rewore my costume from St. Lucia Carnival. J’ouvert is like a happiness elixir, as well as the most exhausting feat. This may have been one of my favorite, if not the best, j’ouverts I have experienced. It’s not the same as chipping behind a truck but the energy of the sea of people was remarkable. Unfortunately, the event was moved indoors to the Promenade, which naturally led to a spillover into the Star Lounge. I had a good time, but was feeling a bit stifled in my outfit in the close quarters.
Xperience Themes by Day & Night
USC’s inaugural cruise from Puerto Rico will sail from April 9 – 14, 2023 and will visitthe U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), St. Maarten, and St. Lucia. After 2 years of uncertainty, USC has decided to return in a major way giving passengers 3sailing options in 2023 along with all new destinations.
A REVIEW OF UBERSOCA CRUISE 2019
Then I was determined to go to UberSoca on Ice so we changed and headed there for the last 30 minutes of the event and I had so much funnnnnnnn – even fell twice (but oh well). After that, definitely took a break and skipped the Theater Turn Up because 1. I wasn’t sold on the whole GOT theme and I didn’t have a ticket. Changed clothes for Game of Thrones Night at 12am and after headed to Small Island Turn Up. It’s humbling to see Soca music (which is scarcely recognized as its own genre), manifest its unrivalled energy and become the biggest theme cruise in the world, bigger than EDM, Reggae, Hip-Hop.
The 2018 UberSoca Cruise Review – To Go Or Not To Go?
The bouncing and jumping up was on another level and it was real RUKSHUN in the place. I was feeling ill due to seasickness, so I was not fully enjoying myself much. After about an hour, I was ready to go back to my room and change. I would have just slept the rest of the evening, but FOMO on the ship is real. You don’t want to be the person hearing about events that took place while you were next door.
In 2019, they sold out both sailings in just 10 days. Over 7,000 people from countries including Australia, Kuwait, Poland, France, Sweden, Japan, UK, USA, and the Caribbean— took part in this carefully curated and well-executed Caribbean experience. After taking a few cruises with his family, Nathaniel Turner realized that the programming on cruise ships didn’t necessarily cater to him, or Caribbean culture. Instead, he thought it would be pretty cool to create an experience for Caribbean culture in a cruise format. This year however, a destination I’ve never been to came up, so I decided to suck it up and try. After all, I’m always down to try something new at least once.
This was the second pool party on our last full day on the ship. This was my reasoning behind how I ended up in the jacuzzi pelting my worries away. I changed, took some Dramamine and soldiered back out to join the party. It was a nice time and I could tell people were trying to forget the sway of the ship and make the most of it, but my stomach could not. I ended up calling it a night “early” (maybe 4am ish). If you think this experience is only about partying into the wee hours of the night, you are mistaken.
J’ouvert had so much going on all at once between the stage, a riddim section in the back and basically you were able to “cool down” on the beach if you chose to. The only issues I had with J’ouvert is that I wish it was a moving jouvert with trucks instead of a concert but I can only imagine the lengths the UberSoca Cruise team would have to go to to make that happen. Fast forward 4 years later, USC has gone from the smallest cruise ship charter to being the biggest, hypest and best cruise ship charter on the Ocean.
If it wasn’t for Kevin Crown bringing the jab jab vibes, I would have been annoyed. He switched things over and saved the night in my opinion. I was particularly excited about this after-party on Night 1 because Grenada soca was really great this year (and every year, if we are honest) so I was glad the organizers decided to pay particular focus on it.
