A taste of ReNice's Carnival 2013 experience...
ONE woman holds her head, and starts to
wine with an expression of untainted euphoria. "Soca I love you!" is
her cry and it is clear Machel and Kerwin's ‘Possessed’ has taken over. This is
the epitome of Roast Cruise; ecstatic energy taking over the seas, this time on
the MV Harbour Master, on Carnival Sunday 2013.

Those who never went to Roast during Crop
Over in Barbados, had a
unique opportunity as Roast finally christened Trinidad’s
Carnival. Roast Cruise; Trinidad
Carnival Edition proved to be as successful in capturing the vibe it had
become synonymous with in Barbados.
Dubbed as the ‘Feters’ by Benjai this
season, people packed the triple deck boat showing that once the bouncing
starts, it really does start!
Although off to a late start persons filed on to the boat dressed to let loose and party hard. Coolers in tow, waistline pumping with energy and leaving all stress behind everyone was set to enjoy the few hours of pure bliss at sea.
Many people did not expect the cruise to have such strong local support from the Trinidadians who had plenty other events occurring on the last lap of Carnival. But no! They came out in their numbers to join the scores of Bajan’s vying to see who the life of the party really is. The puncheon flavoured Popsicles, bake and shark as well as chicken and chips added a special touch to the experience.
From DJ Private Ryan of Trinidad to the Monstapiece DJs of Barbados took the high energy crowd on a regional Soca trip down memory lane, and of course added 2013 carnival releases to the journey. Much to the delight of everyone on board, there was ample opportunity to ‘spread your hands and leggo’ to Blaxx, to bounce like Super Blue, float like Machel, and to take a little wine to Patrice. However it would not be a true Bajan boat cruise if there was no chance to ‘guh down’ like Lil Rick or form a conga line to Spice and Company.

There
was no stopping the crowd, partying non stop from beginning to end. As Bunji Garlin
sings "the atmosphere have vibes and nothing can't break it up" the
security had to work hard to break up the party at the end. Even when the music
stopped, patrons stomped on the ground singing and wining to their own beat of
the drum. They had such a great time leaving was not an option!
Not even rain could kill the vibes in fact it simply added to the experience. High score for the promoters because by the time it was over we were well prepared to "shell down" Jouvert!
