NKOTB Cruise 2011

The New Kids got back from their latest cruise a little over a week ago. I know we shouldn't necessarily compare the 2 trips, however the Backstreet Boys did seem to adopt many elements of the previous NKOTB cruises, so I feel there's a good chance we might see some similar activities on our cruise.

Having a full ship and a full deck of people looks insane!

Here is the New Kids 2011 Cruise Itinerary. There's definitely a few activities on here that I would really enjoy of the Backstreet Boys did including acoustic shows, yoga, and red carpet night. The also did Double Dare for their game show. It all sounds like a blast and I can't wait to receive our itinerary this year!
