Patrick the Hypeman’s energy was as infectious as ever, maintaning the vibes of the crowd, all while getting his hair braided on the stage. The bouncing and jumping up was on another level and it was real RUKSHUN in the place. This was the second pool party on our last full day on the ship. This was my reasoning behind how I ended up in the jacuzzi pelting my worries away. I changed, took some Dramamine and soldiered back out to join the party. It was a nice time and I could tell people were trying to forget the sway of the ship and make the most of it, but my stomach could not.

The Schedule & THEMES
Also, factor in your transportation to the destination port, as well as a stay at a hotel or Airbnb (if you decide to arrive before the sail date). Discover the allure of St. Croix, a Caribbean gem blending natural beauty with a rich and varied colonial history. So much so that St Croix has flown the flags of England, The Netherlands, France, Malta and Denmark. Christiansted to the East features 18th Century butter-colored, red-rooved buildings and quaint stone streets. Frederiksted, its twin city to the west, boast a fortress that once protected the island from pirates and rival nations.
St. Lucia Carnival 2019: A Review of Xuvo Carnival
It’s hard to believe that we’ve had 5 years of Ubersoca. The cruise with a cult following now has its sights on its 5-year anniversary and plans have already been set in motion for another epic instalment of the cruise. DJ Avalanche gave out bottles of baby powder to the crowd and we went berserk with it. If you were towards the front of the stage, you were proper doused and it was FUN! The music was varied and excellent, from the most popular tracks out of St. Lucia to the more obscure from Martinique; from current to old. We eventually left only after we were forced out to accommodate the cleaning crew.
Other Events and After Parties
It’s humbling to see Soca music (which is scarcely recognized as its own genre), manifest its unrivalled energy and become the biggest theme cruise in the world, bigger than EDM, Reggae, Hip-Hop. This time, I decided to do the 2 hour dune buggy ride, organized by Chukka Tours. Though it was a nice opportunity to get out and see a little bit of Grand Turk, it was a subpar experience and I should have caught up on sleep instead. Next year, I will reconsider whether I want to do anything during the morning of J’ouvert.
Ubersoca Cruise Is Now The Largest Themed Cruise At Sea
The interior cabins are pretty small at only 160 square feet inclusive of the bathroom with no outside light to indicate whether it is night or day. The boarding process, though, at Orlando was not as seamless as my experience in the Miami port. The initial line to go through the first passport and security check was extremely long. There weren’t enough cruise attendants to handle the flow of people.
The Drink Inclusive Experience
Known for it’s gorgeous beaches, would class recreational activities, fine dining, resorts, casinos and golf courses, St Croix provides the perfect landscape for our Jouvert / Beach Party. Guests also sampled well-known delicacies, including pigtail bouillon, green fig and saltfish, fish broth, veggie soup, creole bread, and coconut cake. The cruise, with a capacity of over 3000 passengers, departed San Juan on April 9 and will make stops in St. Maarten, Saint Lucia, at St. Thomas.
UBERSOCA CRUISE 2018 REVIEW
The themes were announced approximately two months before sailing, which helped in outfit shopping. However, the full schedule was sent out only days before sail. As a proud millennial, I am (kind of) addicted to my phone, so I knew I was going to get wi-fi. I also made more of an effort to have dinner in the main Dining Room. Though the waiter service was at times long, it was honestly a calming time for me because it allowed a little more reprieve from the noise and large crowds of people. The food there was tasty - over the trip, I had lamb chops, sirloin, salmon, seafood and delicious desserts.
WILD African Safari POOL PARTY
Atlanta – Ubersoca Cruise is now the Largest Music Festival at Sea! Once described by Kes as “the crazy idea that might just work…and it did”, USC is now in its 5th year after completing 2 back to back sold out cruises in November 2019. The team also enlists the help of their own culinary team to curate an authentic Caribbean menu for the duration of the sailing, that features dishes and flavors from nearly all Caribbean nations. If it wasn’t for Kevin Crown bringing the jab jab vibes, I would have been annoyed. He switched things over and saved the night in my opinion. I did not have time nor money to dress the part, however those who did looked stunning!
I was loving the music, dancing and taking Henny to the head while enjoying the performances up close. Kes, Lavaman, Shal Marshall, Asa Bantan and Lil Natty and Thunda performed and it was lit. However, I would have liked more DJs and fewer performers.
In 2018, they added an additional sailing, sold out the first, and booked most of the second which took place right after the first. Over 7,000 people from countries including Australia, Kuwait, Poland, France, Sweden, Japan, UK, USA, and the Caribbean— took part in this carefully curated and well-executed Caribbean experience. The team was able to sell out 65% of the ship, but they knew that providing a top-notch experience would be the key to drawing in new passengers, and keeping the returning ones coming back.
The theme was “Do You” where we represented our “crew”. USC challenged our competitive spirit with this theme, but I do not remember them announcing a winner. No one seemed to care - the music was banging and the vibes were everything. Spring 2023’s Uber Soca Cruise was most definitely a week I’ll never forget. After the African Safari pool party, it was a bit of a rush getting to the first seating of the Bacchanal Ball.
I ended up changing after taking pictures and continuing on with my night. Since its inaugural sailing in 2016, over 16,000 people have traveled with Ubersoca Cruise to partake in what can only be described as a bucket list ‘experience beyond the music’. The following year (2017), the team sold out their Cozumel sailing.
