We call on Royal Caribbean to restore Artimus Pyle Band to the Rock Legends Cruise lineup.
For years, Artimus Pyle Band has been a cornerstone of this cruise experience. Fans plan their trips around seeing them perform. They've built a loyal following on the ship, and that relationship matters—to the musicians and to the community of people who come back year after year for the music and the camaraderie that defines Rock Legends Cruise.
Right now, Royal Caribbean has excluded the band based on an accusation that has already been cleared. This decision contradicts the values the cruise claims to stand for. Rock Legends Cruise exists because people believe in live music, in artists who've earned their place in rock history, and in a community that supports them. Keeping a band off the lineup because of a charge that did not hold up in the facts is not consistent with fairness or with the spirit of second chances.
The fans who buy tickets deserve to see the performers they expect and have come to rely on. The band deserves to be evaluated on what actually happened, not on an allegation that has been resolved. When a cruise brand makes exclusion decisions based on unproven or disproven claims, it sends a message to the music community that loyalty and facts don't matter—only liability management does.
Exclusion is not the answer. Fairness is.
We ask Royal Caribbean to review this decision with clear eyes, to recognize that Artimus Pyle Band has earned their place on this cruise, and to restore them to the lineup. Let the fans experience the show they came for. Let the band return to the stage where they belong. Let Rock Legends Cruise stand for what its name promises: celebrating the artists and the music that matter, and treating people the way they deserve to be treated.

His daughter has said it isn't true. There have been no subsequent accusations. Sometimes people take their lawyers advice and it has long-term repercussions which are unfair. If you started looking into the backgrounds of every performer in every cruiser he would have to exclude a lot of people. It's time to move forward, we want him back.
The Artimus Pyle Band are family to us. Straight & Simple… they have always been one of the staples of the RLC and in all honesty, we miss them very much. Please re-instate The Artimus Pyle Band! VansterdamJim.
We have enjoyed Artimus Pyle’s Band on the chartered Rock Legends Cruise for many years. We don’t understand how they are not back on our Cruise. .
I have been a loyal supporter of the Rock Legends Cruise charity fundraiser since its inception and on every cruise, we have missed having the Artimus Pyle Band performing on this cruise! It’s time for them join us once again on this cruise for such worthy cause NAHA, please let’s make this happen sooner than later!
Because cruises r fun
Would be epic!
9 years and suddenly no. I’m a diamond member and this is utter BS

My daughter and I have seen Artimus and his band after several local venues, he always puts on the very best show. We've also seen him on cruise twice and of all the bands, he packs them in more than ever! I know the entire back story. You do know anyone can accuse someone of whatever they want to and ruin their reputation. It happened to my son when going thru a divorce. We want these talented guys back on the cruise, please!
