What is The KISS Kruise II?
After our valiant inaugural adventure at sea, KISS & Sixthman are again joining forces to unite the KISS Navy. It was victoriously the wettest, wildest, & most rockin’ time, but there are more tropical islands for us to conquer! This time the assignment is on HALLOWEEN, so clear your calendar because you have plans with KISS.
Shout it out loud, creatures of the night! The second KISS Kruise is setting sail October 31 – November 4, 2012 from Miami, FL to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas onboard the Norwegian Pearl. No other Hallows’ Eve celebrations can compare!
The assignment is a bold Halloween mission. Grab your facepaint, Navy uniform, krazy costumes, and sunscreen. Are you ready to rock & roll all night and party every day? We want YOU!

How does admission work?
Each guest will get to see KISS twice - one general admission show on the Pool deck, and one indoor ticketed show in the ship's main theater. All other shows on board will be General Admission, so you can come and go as you please.
As you are making a reservation, you will be asked a series of questions designed to help tailor the indoor KISS show experience to your cabin.
1. You will be asked for your cabin's preference for the ticketed headlining show. KISS will perform twice in the main theatre at similar times on two different nights. Your entire cabin will be placed in the same show- people in the same cabin may not choose different shows.
2. You will be asked for your cabin’s zone seating preference. This refers to which “zone” or designated area of the theater you would prefer to sit in. The zones are based on real time availability and you will be placed in your zone according to when you picked it. For instance, if you are one of the first people to choose that zone, you will be seated in the front of the zone, if you are one of the last, you will be seated in the back of the zone. All zone selections are final, and are based on availability.
*Please note that ALL zones on the floor are standing room only. In zones 1-6 there will not be seats, but the area will be mapped out into designated squares with four people assigned to each one - two standing in front, two in back. Zones 7 and above will assigned one person per seat. Zone 0 will be general admission within that zone, just like your standard pit area.
Will the artists be onboard the whole time?
Our artists, including KISS, are excited to join you on board for the whole event. However, there may be some cases where they must join us during the trip or depart early due to schedule or family commitments.
