Tom just stated on his show that he was in negotiations with Prince to perform on his cruise. From what he's saying, Prince would do the show for a million dollars, but Tom said they didn't have that kind of money. Hmmm?!?!?

Tom does a cruise every year. It's called the Fantastic Voyage. I remember my sister trying to win tickets to go on one of Tom's cruises, but she wasn't successful with it. It would be interesting if Prince actually performed on that cruise. The cruise next year is from May 16 - 23, 2010. Starting from Miami to Coco Bay Bahamas, with stops in Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, on the Royal Caribbean ship.

I didn't realize Tom Joyner still had a radio show. Out here, he got replaced by Steve Harvey.

Where are u?

Prince would be miserable! Lol
Could you imagine him being stuck on a ship the whole time surrounded by fans. No where to go but his cabin, or suite. I just dont see Prince hanging out at the bar chilling with the people.

daPrettyman said:

prince always wants to play hard ball when a black person ask him to perform a show for him... i would known.. good luck to tom joyner on that.

jackson35 said:

I don't think being black has anything to do with it. Prince has a set fee he charges and that's it. Color has nothing to do with it.

Didn't P get paid $3 million for Coachella? If so, $1 million is a good rate.

One million dollars.

dannyd5050 said:

Imagine how many more people would go on the cruise if they did pay him the million dollars. Hell, he could cut Jamie Foxx and some of the other "old school" acts for Prince.

daPrettyman said:

Exactly. He has a band to pay as well. Why should it be any different for Tom Joynor?

If you don't want to do something, price it out of reach.

ronnwinter said:

Of course I'm sure he would more than likely be in his own private suite, off limits to passengers. Question is, would he actually stay the full 7 days, or just get off at one of the scheduled stops during the cruise, and take a plane back home.

This past year, The Time was on that cruise. Not sure if they stayed on for the full 7 days.

I'm sure what would happen is that Prince would be on the mainstage on the island. I can't see him cruising with the others. Of course, Morris and The Time (with Jimmy and Terry and Jesse and Monte) did this past year.

daPrettyman said:

You mean on ship. I agree with you though, there is no way he would just walk around mingling with the crowd or fans on a cruise ship. If this story is true, Tom's lucky the requested price wasn't higher, I mean if P was to stay on the ship for more than 3 days to perform, then that would be a discount for Tom.

Yes. From what I've heard and read, they have performances on the ship all night long in different rooms. Then when they get to where ever the destination is, they have a huge concert on the island.

daPrettyman said:

Link please??

daPrettyman said:

Really? Wow, that's cool. Well, we'll have to see if what Tom said is true, for now it's all "speculation."

$1 mil 4 prince is cheap these days.
He would helicoter in 4 the set.....lol.

Graycap23 said:

True, a discount.. I can't see him staying on a cruise ship for 7 days, with a bunch of fans on board, unless he plans on doing 3 or 4 shows, then taking a helicopter out to an airport to get off the ship.

::Waiting for Drfunkenberry to come along and clear up this possible cruise rumor::

Just imagine all the fancy sunglasses he could buy with that money!

luv4u said:

He was just discussing it on his show. You can hear it at www.blackamericaweb.com . I don't know if he has a separate link for this segment. However, you can click "Listen Live" and hear the show from today in it's entirety.

daPrettyman said:

OMG!
Please come to Grenada! Please stop in Grenada!! Please have the concert in GRENADA!!!

Tom Joyner's 2010 Fantastic Voyage cruise so far, is only scheduled to start off in from Miami, Fl then stop in San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and Coco Cay in the Bahamas, then back to Miami.

daPrettyman said:

Althogh none of it has been confirmed, it's just "speculation". That would be so fly if it does come true, and he does a concert in PR and St. Thomas.
[Edited 11/18/09 13:44pm]

I just had the funniest mental image of Prince on the Lido Deck.

Darwintheorgangrinder said:

I wish to hell somebody would replace both of those stale muthafuckaz.

CJBabyDaddy said:

I wouldn't describe Steve as "stale". I would describe him as "horrible".

I can deal with Tom ok. I liked his show better when he had Myra and Ms. Dupree. Also, "It's Your World". Now, his show could use a good shot in the ass to perk him up.

ronnwinter said:

I would think he would be boated or helicoptered in for the show and leave afterward, that's the way its done.

He could open with Get On The Boat and close with Something In The Water (Does Not Compute).
