What is Rombello?
Rombello. A place where great live bands go to play.
Welcome to the newest Sixthman adventure at sea. An experience that is meant only for those that truly enjoy an amazing live show, meeting new people, and spending time relaxing in the Caribbean. It’s a land that will take you away and please all your musical taste buds. Join Slightly Stoopid, Michael Franti and Spearhead, G. Love & Special Sauce, and a host of other bands in a land like no other, Rombello.
Your musical passage starts in Tampa, FL and will be sailing to Cozumel, Mexico. You’ll be sailing aboard the Carnival Inspiration September 29th – October 3rd, 2011. Rombello will show you the kingdom of music magic with a festival of shows from morning to night. And of course, you’ll find all the luxury of the ship, with the dining, casino, spa, pool, lounges, and more.
So come join us on this quest through the Caribbean. Spend time with old friends and make new ones. Have a cocktail by the pool, listen to amazing bands you know and new ones you don’t, and find yourself in a place that is meant just for you. A place that you can make your own.

How can I learn more about the Carnival Inspiration?
In addition to our own The Ship page there are several great internet sites with information about the Carnival Inspiration:
Can I attend if I am pregnant or just had a baby?
Any guest entering her 24th week or more is not permitted to sail and will be denied boarding. This policy is in place for the safety of the guest. The ship infirmaries are only equipped for minor emergencies, and are not hospitals. Infants under 6 months old are also not permitted to sail.
Am I guaranteed access to all shows onboard?
Rombello is run “festival style,” with multiple shows going on simultaneously. All of these shows are general admission, so you’re welcome to come and go as you wish!
There are performances where capacity is limited, however the artists perform multiple times during the cruise.
What is the performance schedule?
The exact performance schedule will be released prior to the cruise, but count on festival scheduling with multiple shows occurring on multiple stages!
