New Kids on the Block Cruise Themes Are Fans' Choice

March 18, 2011

Rebecca Villaneda--HispanicBusiness

The New Kids on the Block are setting sail on their third cruise this May and as always, organizers set a theme each night for partying on the Lido deck.

This year, fans get to vote!

In the past it's been PJs, Dress to Impress, White Night and casino night. The latter was a dream as the five members dressed to the nines in black tuxes, while another evening on last year's cruise, Donnie, Danny, Joe, Jordan and Jon dressed in togas showing some well-defined muscles.

Each year, leading up to the May sail, fans anticipate what the themes will be because, of course, a girl needs to go shop for the perfect ensemble.

Every year since 2009, the New Kids on the Block and more than 1,000 Blockheads sail to the Bahamas. This year, the 2011 cruise is one day longer and on a bigger ship.

But, the same antics and greatness will be enjoyed ... meet and greets, a concert, gambling, dancing, and an all-time favorite: running into a New Kid who happens to be wandering the ship.

The Carnival ship leaves from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., May 12. Every so often since the 90-day countdown began, the New Kids tweet how many days remain until the ship blows its horns.

This year, lucky ladies (and boyfriends and husbands of the ladies -- yes, they go too) can vote for the themes. They are as follows:

1. '80s
2. Toga
3. PJ's
4. Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
5. Hawaiian Luau
6. Red Carpet
7. Sports Team/Jersey

Step by step: The childhood home of the Knight brothers

It's not listed in any tourist guide, but NKOTB fans flock to the house where the Knight brothers grew up By Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / November 15, 2008 When Kari Lusso and her trio of girlfriends flew from Seattle to Boston for the New Kids on the Block concert, they had to make a quick detour. On a rainy Saturday night, the friends drove their rental car to 10 Melville Ave. As they stood in front of the Victorian house, they shrieked and giggled like little girls. The commotion? They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said. "We took pictures of their stove. We took pictures of their floor. We took pictures of the banister, the living room, and their bedrooms. What a dream come true to see such an...

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre Gives Update on BSB A.J. McLean in Rehab

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre has been in the music business for over 24 years and has seen some friends battle with addiction in the limelight, including Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean who recently made the decision to enter rehab. "A.J. is a sweet kid, good kid and extremely talented, so we're all there for him," said Joey. AJ admitted himself earlier this month before heading on the huge NKOTB/BSB tour. Young star Aaron Carter is reportedly seeking professional help as well to deal with some unknown "emotional and spiritual issues," and Joey commended Aaron for making that step. "To me it's usually a good thing when someone can take some time and retreat from it all and, you know, just get a little bit more centered," Joey said, encouragingly. Justin Bieber has managed to stay clean in his career thus far and Joey gave some advice to the star for staying on the right track. "Hopefully, kids like Justin… there...
