Jam Cruise 22: Magic from start to finish — the complete report

The 2026 edition of Jam Cruise, officially number 22, returned to port in Miami early Thursday morning, February 12. Behind us were five glorious days of hugs, mind-blowing music, games, relaxation, dancing, friends new and old, beaches, wonderful food, and the deluxe experience of eight stages (and our rooms) all within a five-minute walk.

This was the eighth time MusicFestNews has posted a review of the event, at least those shows we attended. It was the first time we decided to post daily reviews, which meant missing a few details and a few photos, but overall we were pleased with the results. All five daily reviews and a special article about the Medeski Martin & Wood theater set are out there, but we have collected all the links here for your perusal.

We cannot wait to get back on board whatever ship we will be on in 2027 (the MSC Divina has been assigned to Brazil, we understand). Thanks to everyone involved in making this such a magnificent time. Continue to share all the love, friendship, and hugs from Jam Cruise throughout the year.
