Nowhere is that more true than in our house. Thankfully, there are PVRs to make sure we don&#39;t miss an episode; otherwise we&#39;d be house-bound on Friday nights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Part of the reason is Donnie Wahlberg. It should be mentioned that before <i>Blue Bloods<\/i>, we didn&#39;t know who he was or where he came from and now he&#39;s, well, in our TV blood. That also means we didn&#39;t connect Donnie Wahlberg and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nkotb.com\/\">New Kids On The Block<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">But the cruise community does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Fans have been going on NKOTB cruises for five years and the 2014 edition comes with a twist. They&#39;re going to &quot;Rock This Boat&quot; (the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnival.com\/\">Carnival<\/a> Splendor) because that&#39;s the name of the eight-week reality TV series being filmed on the cruise. It will be shown <a href=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/NKOTB-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"New Kids On The Block\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-20701\" height=\"237\" src=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/NKOTB-copy.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/><\/a>on the TV Guide Network during the 2014-15 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Wahlberg is the executive producer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">For this year&#39;s cruise on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cms\/fun\/ships\/carnival_splendor\/default.aspx?shipCode=SL\">Splendor<\/a> all the New Kids, who are really Old Kids by now, will be on board and doing all the things these celebrities do on theme cruises, starting with performing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The cruise is June 5-9. This year, there&#39;s a new embarkation port (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/portal\/site\/nycgov\/?front_door=true\">New York<\/a>) and a new destination (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bermuda.com\/\">Bermuda<\/a>). The sales pitch is that you&#39;ll spend &quot;two full days trapped at sea with NKOTB,&quot; and that there&#39;s &quot;nowhere to hide&quot; which &mdash; because of Bermuda &mdash; makes for a clever video (<a href=\"http:\/\/nkotb.com\/cruise\">click here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Because of NKOTB, there will be plenty of parties, surprise cabin visits and the concert in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cms\/fun\/ships\/carnival_splendor\/default.aspx?shipCode=SL\">Splendor&#39;s<\/a> theater. All the &quot;kids&quot; will be there &mdash; Jonathan, Jordan, Joey, Danny and Donnie &mdash; and they&#39;re also promising this NKOTB Cruise will be &quot;bigger, better, faster&quot; than the last one. And some passengers, at least, will be part of the reality show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">What&#39;s more, you don&#39;t have to worry about missing <i>Blue Bloods<\/i> on the Friday night (June 6), even if you don&#39;t have a PVR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">It&#39;s on re-runs then.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><em style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"><strong>Today at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.portsandbows.com\"><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">Phil Reimer&#39;s&nbsp;<\/span><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.portsandbows.com\"><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\">portsandbows.co<\/span><\/a>m: After 46 years, a return to Prague<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12028\" height=\"125\" src=\"http:\/\/cruisingdoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DailyDeal-2-e1334202169354.jpg\" title=\"DailyDeal-2\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.royalcaribbean.com\/findacruise\/ships\/class\/ship\/home.do;jsessionid=0000qtES-D1nOA67492SXQkNWGr:13hldcill?br=R&amp;shipClassCode=RD&amp;shipCode=JW\" style=\"font-size: 13px; text-align: center;\">Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas<\/a><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">7 nights<\/span><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">June 21, 2014<\/span><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.topuertorico.org\/city\/sanjuan.shtml\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">San Juan<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">&nbsp;(return):&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/st-thomas.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">St. Thomas<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stkittstourism.kn\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">St. Kitts<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.curacao.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">Curacao<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aruba.com\/\" style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">Aruba<\/a><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6em; text-align: center;\">Inside: $749<\/span><br \/>\n\t<span style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"><strong>Cost per day: $107<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.royalcaribbean.com\" style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">www.royalcaribbean.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The show is called Blue Bloods, in case you haven&#39;t heard, and it tops the Friday night TV ratings.
