I decided to do the first seating this year because I wanted a different experience from last year, and because I knew I would have an easier time napping before the next event. Unfortunately, the event was moved indoors to the Promenade, which naturally led to a spillover into the Star Lounge. I had a good time, but was feeling a bit stifled in my outfit in the close quarters.

If you chose not to go, you were able to receive your money back (less $50 for administrative fees) within 2 days of official launch if you sent a written request to Ubersoca Cruise. Roberts even stated, “I know my songs are great contributions when it gives me a specific feeling. It’s really a feeling that I cannot explain,” while adding that Soca legends like “Machel Montano, Alison Hinds and Destra” inspired her to jump into the lane. 3500 revelers departed Point Seraphine and took to the John Compton Highway to the sweet sounds of Soca music, played by some of the island’s top deejays along the carnival route.

UBERSOCA CRUISE 2018 REVIEW
I didn’t stay at this fete long because I was not feeling 100%, however other people seemed to be having fun. In general, I don’t like the Star Lounge venue because there isn’t much space, but many people stayed in their rooms that night (orrr were at the lit hip hop room), the crowd was just right. After j’ouvert was sleep time (at last) and Midnight Mas, the event where you wear an old costume or “monday wear” piece to invoke the feeling of mas.

Cost and What is Included?
After being flown to Puerto Rico – along with my sister who I asked to also be invited – I knew the event was going to be one of the best adventures ever. But, the fact that this was a Soca cruise was definitely a game-changer. I had no idea those existed and being Vincy-American, I was ready to witness one for myself. It truly shows the power of SOCA when we come together as family. We attribute our success to the collective talent and power of our entertainers and their loyalty to the brand and vision.
The team had locked in bigger ships to allow even more people to take part in the Ubersoca experience. They were also set to sail for 5-days versus the normal 4 to two exotic locations. If you think this experience is only about partying into the wee hours of the night, you are mistaken. A large component of the programming is also the networking and conference offerings that take place.
The party was fun but I wanted 90% Grenada soca with a smattering of others, but it was probably 50% with the rest spread out over the other islands. There were songs that were popular during Spicemas 2020 that weren’t played at all and I was a little disappointed. Again, due to high winds and rough seas, the event was moved from the outside deck to the Promenade. This made for an annoying and uncomfortable experience because of all the feathers and sharp pieces of the costumes.
Block details:
But by the time Lil Rick came on stage, I was a new woman! We raced to the front of the stage and we were jamming without a care in the world. I felt like I was out on the pool deck for ages, and was sad when the fete ended because I was still ready to keep going.
Double Sail Options
Year after year, it only gets bigger and continues to do its job of making more people who hear it feel like they’re on Cloud 9. Fast forward 4 years later, USC has gone from the smallest cruise ship charter to being the biggest, hypest and best cruise ship charter on the Ocean. Keevo (Trinidad & Tobago), White Yardie (UK/Jamaica) and Trixx (Canada/Ghana) provided the funny entertainment of the night, and absolutely came with the jokes. I had seen Trixx last year and he was even more hilarious this year. It was great seeing Keevo do stand up because I was only familiar with the 30 second Instagram jokes and sometimes it doesn’t quite translate. Similarly, White Yardie held his own on the stage and got the biggest laughs from me.
And I believe most people followed the theme very respectfully. I was at the main Battle Royale event for a very short time - instead I decided to skip the performance-heavy night and rest instead, so that I could fully enjoy the Small Island Party. I stayed in an Interior stateroom with a female roommate I did not know. It was a decent experience, but I do not think I would want to do either (interior; rooming blind) again.
I liked the twist to the standard all-white party with the toga infusion and most people dressed accordingly with gladiator sandals/slippers, leaf headbands, and gold embellishments. Staying in an interior cabin will have you falling into the deepest REM sleep imaginable. I almost missed this party but luckily my internal clock woke me up, despite not hearing my alarm. There were several places to eat on the ship, the most popular of which was at the Windjammer, aka the cafeteria. It has been two weeks since I returned and I have been able to sift through videos and pictures and process the trip.
Despite the initial hesitation, Turner, Reece, and Lewis put their respective talents together to launch The Ubersoca Cruise in 2015. Turner pitched the idea to his friend Daniel Reece, a well-known promoter in Bermuda and together they approached Jodi Lewis, to help them bring it all together. I stopped by these tournaments very briefly and they were a great change of pace from the parties. I just want to know if there are any prizes at play for these competitions.
J’ouvert is like a happiness elixir, as well as the most exhausting feat. This may have been one of my favorite, if not the best, j’ouverts I have experienced. It’s not the same as chipping behind a truck but the energy of the sea of people was remarkable. Ubersoca Cruise prides itself on being the largest Soca music festival at sea, and they have lived up to this reputation. Soca music has been around for years – since 1970 to be exact – and it’s here to stay.
I would have just slept the rest of the evening, but FOMO on the ship is real. You don’t want to be the person hearing about events that took place while you were next door. The cruise started off with a bang and this party definitely set the tone for the rest of the adventure. Everyone was excited, well-rested and reuniting with old and new friends.
