New Kids perform on cruise ship
New Kids On The Block embarked on a carnival cruise last Friday to perform for their fans.

Passengers paid upwards of $1,000 for the sold-out event, the New York Daily News reports.

"Our fans have come out since day one, and we’ve just tried to answer the call," said band member Joey McIntyre. "It had to be fun and it had do be challenging, or we wouldn’t have done it."

The reunited boyband played two shows during the three-day trip that headed out from Miami to the Bahamas. Half of the ship saw the concert one night, and the remaining half during the next evening.

The 2,100 travellers witnessed NKOTB perform hits such as 'Step By Step' as well as songs from their 2008 album.

The group’s 'Full Service' tour will begin on June 4 in Atlanta.
