30 Days Until Sailaway! | Joey Fairchild Previews The 80s Cruise 2023

It's happening.

After months of anticipation, planning and obsessive checking of countdown calendars, we're officially down to 30 days before embarkation for the 2023 voyage of The 80s Cruise.

This week on the Stuck in the ’80s podcast, Steve and Brad welcome ECP Production Manager Joey Fairchild for a special countdown episode dedicated to everything cruisers need to know before setting sail.

As longtime passengers know, the final month before the cruise is when excitement really starts to build. Costume ideas are taking shape. Packing lists are being created. Group chats are buzzing. And everyone wants to know the same thing:

What can we expect this year?

Joey joins the show to provide the latest updates and discuss some of the events, activities and experiences waiting onboard. One of the biggest topics, of course, is the cruise's legendary theme nights.

Over the years, theme nights have become one of the defining traditions of The 80s Cruise. Whether you're the type of person who spends months crafting an elaborate costume or someone who throws together a last-minute outfit the night before, the themes create some of the most memorable moments of the week.

Steve, Brad and Joey discuss what passengers can expect during the 2023 sailing and share tips for making the most of the experience.

The episode also features questions submitted by future cruisers, covering everything from logistics and planning to onboard activities and entertainment. For first-time passengers, it's an excellent introduction to what makes the cruise so unique. For returning cruisers, it's another chance to start building anticipation for the voyage ahead.

Like many Stuck in the ’80s cruise episodes, the conversation captures the energy and excitement that develops as sailaway day approaches. There's a sense that something special is just around the corner — because for thousands of Gen X music fans, it is.

The result is part preview, part travel guide and part celebration of the community that has grown around The 80s Cruise over the years.

Thirty days may sound like a long time.

Trust us.

It'll be here before you know it.
