Also expect cocktail hangouts and meetups with performers, as well as shipwide gaming, crafting, writing events, theme nights and cosplay galore. These experiences offer the chance for people from around the world to meet, swap ideas, share art and inspire creativity. However, you'll find many shared artistic interests, including card making, quilting, knitting, jewelry and photography. Passengers can hang with fellow sad, cool kids on the ship and enjoy epic concerts and curated activities. The lineup for the 2025 sailing was not available at the time of writing, but past performers have included Yellowcard, The Devil Wears Prada, Emo Social, Mayday Parade and Senses Fail.

If you haven’t prearranged your transportation, there will be numerous taxis available outside the terminal that you can hire, or you’re welcome to use a rideshare app. JoCo Cruise is not arranging blocks of rooms at area hotels for our attendees this year. In other words, there are no “official” JoCo Cruise hotels this year. You are more than welcome to organize amongst yourselves, share research on area hotel rates and availability, etc.; but JoCo Cruise will not be securing any “special rates” at any area hotels for JoCo Cruise 2025. Here’s the basic layout of the airport (FLL) and the general cruise terminal area. Keep in mind, the cruise port has several terminals; we won’t know our exact one until closer to the sailing date.

Days and nights of shared interests and experiences can lead to meaningful connections that can last a lifetime. Once logged into your JoCo Cruise User Account, you’ll be able to see your account’s payment history and instructions for submitting payments in the “Billing & Payments” tab of your account.

Holland America Line has well-established and robust protocols for monitoring the health and safety of their passengers, especially for isolating and treating anyone onboard who tests positive for COVID-19. JoCo Cruise’s all-in-one pricing includes every dollar required to sail with us all week long. Our Pricing Page includes the complete list of what is included and what is not included in this price. That said, if the cruise line increases the amount of the pre-paid gratuity (which is built into our prices) or applies a fuel surcharge because of exceptionally high oil prices, JoCo Cruise will pass along those costs. If they will be the sole payer for your booking, be sure you have all of the payment information ready when you start the booking process.

Please note that this credit may take a day or so to be applied to your stateroom account once onboard. Any credits applied during the booking process will be shown as a line listing Onboard Credit in your JoCo Cruise User Account (under the Billing & Payments section) immediately. However, 2025 referral credits will only be issued in the form of onboard credits to accounts sailing on JoCo Cruise 2025; so if the referrer does not sail, they will not receive a 2025 referral credit.

If you are seeking to “downgrade” your cabin type (e.g., switch from a Verandah to an Interior), please see our our FAQ item on the subject. Also, guests under 21 years old must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or chaperone aged 21 or older. We’re also thrilled to once again be sailing with Holland America Line, who have been incredible to work with on JoCo Cruise. For a more thorough overview of the event, check out the What is JoCo Cruise page.

Fill out the JoCo Cruise 2025 “I Want to Join Club SRO” Application. Submit one form for each guest of your booking you wish to apply for Club SRO. Internet service is now provided by Starlink, and we expect it to be faster and more fluid than in prior years.

The prices listed above reflect our Early-ish Bird discount pricing—from 5% to 10% below our standard full retail pricing, depending on the category. Sunday, March 9thWe return to port in Fort Lauderdale at approximately 7 a.m.,  we recommend that no one should book flights before noon the same day. You guessed it–it’s another of JoCo Cruise’s “greatest hits.” Our last visit was in 2016, and we can’t wait to once again wander Philipsburg’s streets and visit the island’s pristine beaches. It’s a little bit Dutch, a little bit French, and all of it is beautiful.

Foster friendships with fascinating, creative, and really awesome people during the best week of your year. Step off the ship to explore old San Juan’s cobblestone streets and shops. Marvel at its centuries-old city walls, and get yourself a heaping plate of mofungo at one of its quaint restaurants. Or go further afield to visit beautiful beaches and lush rainforests. All the cruise details are on the Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea website.

If the referrer is not booked on JoCo Cruise 2025, they will not receive credit. There is limited programming time available in the ship’s main theater, and that is dedicated to events on the Official Schedule. Beyond helping you find a place for it on the ship and the schedule and helping set up any available venue tech, no.

Some guests may only be attending the event on specific days, so check the official website to see if this is the case for the guests you'd like to meet. The referred booking will receive a $100 credit applied to the stateroom account of that booking’s Primary Contact. The person who made the referral will receive a $100 credit applied to their stateroom account.

All JoCo Cruise bookings are provisional until funds have been received; JoCo Cruise will only contact you regarding payments in the event of a problem. If after five business days you see that your ACH transfer has still not been processed, or if you encounter any unexpected errors or problems regarding the transaction, please email us at [email protected]. In this instance, “pro-rata credit” means a percentage of your booking’s payment balance equivalent to the proportion of the seven day voyage missed by each booked guest. No penalties of any sort will be applied when moving up to your AMAZING NEW, SWANKIER CABIN, pending availability of desired cabin category. Please join the wait list if you’d like to upgrade your cabin type.

Gamers have their own special setup in the main dining room (over one ton of games, organizers say) where you can play 24-7; "friendly fez" signs let people know which games are looking for players. Now going into its 11th year, the JoCo Cruise is known as one of the geekiest weeks on the water -- in the best possible way. The brainchild of singer-songwriter Jonathan Coulton, the cruise celebrates all things nerd, from fantasy lit and board games to cosplay and crafting. Ultimately, no matter what floats your boat, you can probably find a cruise for it. Even if you're not an avid cruiser, an itinerary themed around your interests is worthwhile for both a fun getaway and a chance to connect with your people.

JoCo Cruise works to ensure that all aspects of our event are fully accessible by all attendees. Holland America Line’s facilities are deigned to accommodate people with mobility, hearing, and visual disabilities. Full information can be found on our Accessibility page, including accessible cabin information on the Nieuw Amsterdam, and information regarding medical, dietary and other special needs. In the Payment section of the booking process you will have the option to pay a partial amount. Your cabin will remain reserved while you coordinate everyone’s payments through the JoCo Cruise User Account system, but it won’t be finalized until the full initial deposit amount has been made. Once your booking is completed, there will be an option in your JoCo Cruise User Account to list any stateroom placement preferences you may have, including all of the above types.

Taking over a ship for a Carribean voyage is a huge endeavor with a lot of metaphorical and literal moving parts, and you’re bound to have some questions. Here’s a compendium of knowledge to help you get an overview of the JoCo Cruise, and to answer your questions large and small. Holland America also offers several programs that, for a fee, can either transport your luggage directly to your return flight, or directly back to your home. See “Luggage Services” on HAL’s Know Before You Go page for further information. When the cruise is over on March 9th, disembark and take a shuttle, taxi, or other vehicle back to the airport (or to your hotel, if you are sticking around).
