I wanted to provide another experience to you all since Holy Ship! is so unique! Meet my fellow AZ raver Vania who made her dreams come true this year when she stepped aboard Holy Ship! 11.0.
When I was 18, I was browsing through Twitter and stumbled upon a little experience called Holy Ship! I was blown away by all the videos and pictures I managed to find and set it as #2 on my bucket list (Tomorrowland being #1)! Planning the vacation since May of 2017, but not being able to set foot on the ship until January of 2018 was surreal. A four year wait was instantly gratified with that first step on the Norwegian Epic.
I’ll never forget ditching the safety drill in order to race others to the merch tent to buy the prized ShipFam reflective jacket and still being the 25th person in line. People walking with Champagne bottles anywhere and everywhere.
Rubber duckies in abundance thanks to the Rubber Ducky pool party. Some of the most gracious and welcoming crew. Everywhere you looked someone was living their best life. Becoming ShipFam was an unparalleled feeling, never have I been with a more welcoming group of individuals. It was truly the best experience of my life. Eating dinner next to Dombresky and Joyryde. Watching Claude VonStroke jump into 5 different sets and create impromptu b2bs every night. A week where “Stop It” by FISHER was the anthem and everyone loved house.
Favorite Sets from The Weekend
Without a doubt, the Sunrise Sermon by Get Real was a magical experience. Chris Lake b2b Chris Lorenzo happened twice during Ship and each set was different, but equally as bouncy. Joyryde on the pool deck right after it rained, was the best set of the weekend in my eyes. New remixes and new songs I hadn’t heard from him until then.
Would you go again? Any advice for someone interested in going
I would 10000% go again. For as long as I can I plan to attend. I would recommend for anyone who wants to go to sign up for the wait list or get on the Holy Ship! Facebook pages and ticket pages. The best option is to know someone who has gone before so you have first pick of tickets. Start being active on the pages long before the sailings so you can be as informed as possible for a smooth first Ship. 🙂
