Boston band New Kids on the Block has cruised into a new record.  The band's NKOTB cruise has been named the fastest selling cruise charter of all time.  From May 14-17, 2010, fans of NKOTB who were lucky enough to obtain tickets before they sold out were treated to concert performances, photo sessions, and parties with the original members of New Kids on the Block.
Participants of the second annual New Kids on the Block cruise also received VIP concierge services, gift bags filled with exclusive NKOTB merchandise, and the opportunity to win prizes.  The cruise took place on the Carnival cruise ship Imagination.  Although the cruise sold out quickly,  fans were able to be put on Carnival's waiting list. 
New Kids on the Block was created in Boston, Massachusetts in 1984, disbanded in 1994, and reunited in 2007 when they released their first new album in more than a decade.  Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood are the band's founding members.
After the NKOTB cruise ended, the band continued a very limited tour of the United States.  The tour begins on June 10, 2010 and ends on June 19, 2010.  Dates on the tour include three shows in New York at Radio City Music Hall.  Two of the three shows are currently sold out and the third is sure to follow soon.  Visit NKOTB.com for more information and to purchase tickets while they are still available.
