The 8th Annual Tom Joyner Foundation’s Fantastic Voyage took place from May 20th-May 27th abroad the Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas. You know when Tom Joyner has a party, they party hard.
With a week full of themed nights and activities, traveling from the Bahamas, Puetro Rico, and to the Dominican Republic, Tom – who always must take on the captain theme – was dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow from “Pirates Of The Caribbean” this year.
Celebrity guests during the ride included New Edition, Mint Condition, Patti Labelle, Tito Jackson, Kat Williams, LL Cool J and more…
New Edition
The O’Jays
Mint Condition
Man I’m going on the next Joyner trip…don’t front like ya’ll wouldn’t want to be there!
Tito Jackson still looks well…WOW Mint Condition I aint heard abouth them for a while! LL always takin off his shirt-i aint complainin tho lol
OOh and forgot to say, got Ms LaBelle, those legs! get ‘em girl!
Hell yeah I wanna be on that trip too! I love the Tom Joyner Sky Shows!
Looks like fun, with a ll those artists like NE, Mint Condition, Patti Labelle, Teddy Riley…good music.
Katt Williams was there to, I love his lil funny ass! He will be in DC this Saturday I may have to see if any tickets are left
And no words are needed for LL…only one YUMMY!!!
Wait a minute! Johnny looks a lil chunky….or is it just me? Still loves me some Johnny tho.
It’s good to see Eddie Levert all smiles and performing again.
I’m sure everybody had a good time. I would love to go on his Fantastic Voyage!
Patti Patti!! She is GETTING IT!!!
I’ve loved N.E. since I was a little girl… where was Ricky Bell?
RRRROOOFFLLL LL cool J Pissed his PANTS
why does Ronnie and Ralph’s wives look sooooooo regular? I gues they still getting paid pennies for their performances
LL’s face mite be old now but that body…precious lord… my crotch area is almost as wet as his. DAMN.
Patti looks AMAZING! WOW…those legs….that outfit…that weave…thats how I wanna be at that age
Dang, LL is looking old as hell….. He needs to stop with the lip licking, shirt off. I wanna look like a teenager act. His ass is too old!!!
damn ill do patti i dont care how old she is…..lol
I was thinking the same thing, #8. Ralph’s wife looks like someone you would see at the corner store. Was Toni Braxton’s husband there? (with Mint Condition)
So what if Ralph’s wife looks regular? If he had a white woman on his arm, ya’ll would be complaining about that.
Anyway, I LOVE ME SOME NEW EDITION!!!
Ya’ll are funny…..look alittle closer at the pictures, that is how LL’s pants are, he did not pee, his pants are not wet!!
As far as the NE wives, what wrong with just looking like regular people? aren’t you just a regular person? That is how we are start out, we are all just people. (Ronnie’s wife is that young girl from the group Blaque.
The good ol days.
Tom Joyner’s Fantastic Voyages always look like crazy fun! Hope to go on one in the future!
The O’jays still look nice after being in the game for so many years.
Hey Chelle you said Kat Williams is going to be in D.C. if you find tickets let me know where so I can look em’ up. The cruise looked really fun, I’ve always wanted to go on one…..well maybe next year.
~SWEETS~
LL YESSSSS he is STILL fine!
Okay Sweets

LMAO @ ppl hating on Raplh and Ronnie’s wives.
At least they have BLACK women!!!
LL.. Gives Me Goosebumps.
Kill em w/it Miss Patti!! You betta work.
Looks like a fun time.
Ralph used to be so cute what happened!!! I miss Mint Condition they were a good group at least to me
Patti Labelle is beautiful and her legs are gorgeous…..no homo!
LL Cool J I love you!!!!
Looks like fun and everyone looks great IMO.
LL can do no wrong…Chelly you were right, he’s just YUMMY!
It does look like Johnny put on a few pounds, but he looks good.
SMH @ people talking about their wives look regular…how are they supposed to look???
Chelly, imma pay for yo cruise!
Tito and his guess look like they been hittin the midnight buffet!
Where is Bobby Brown?
The Ojays = Eddie, Walter and the light-skinned brotha!
TOM JOYNER looks better as a pirate than he does in real life! His light-skin didn’t do nothing for him!
TITO JACKSON IS HELLA NORMAL..LOL
I LUV IT
#13, I’m with you…….I absolutely LOVE New Edition. They are some of the best performers ever! And ya’ll need to stop tripping about their wives looking “regular” Everybody don’t have to wear weave and pounds of makeup when you’re in or around the entertainment industry. Black love is beautiful and they are doing the thing, big ups to them! And I wondered where is Ricky also….I just saw them all together in New Orleans, maybe he was in the restroom or something when they took this pic.
All these musical geniuses in one place, that must have been really nice.
New Edition, The Mighty O’Jays, Mint Condition, Teddy riley (where was the rest of Blackstreet or Guy) and Patti Labelle, the phenomenal songtress.
@#12. Keri Lewis is not part of the band anymore, he is not in the picture. He was the 7th member of the band as a keyboardist/guitarist. I love that band, Stokley can blow. I believe they have a new album out, there was not much hype about it, I don’t know why, but there are still the deal.
cHELLY, rIGHT GIRL!!!! Friday, they were trippin ’cause keenan and brian had women from different backgrounds. Now they running these ladies down! COME ON YA’LL DANG!!!! CHELLY, U FROM DC? ME TOO! WELL KINDA, I WAS BORN AT WALTER REED. MY PEEPS LIVED IN CAPERS FOR A MINUTE AND I WENT TO LENOX ELEM. THEN WE MOVED TO ER’WHERE. RIVERDALE, ROCKVILLE, SILVER SPRING, WHEATON, ASPEN HILL. I ENDED UP WITH my grandparents in Maryland Park. I went to Bladensburg High. Anyway, I met New Edition back in the days. I won some tickets when Donnie Simmons used to DJ for 93KYS. Ralph was skinny back then too! I liked Bobby. I still have my picture I took with them. Just like me to like a guy that would make babies, go to jail, go broke and become a crack head! Dag thats jacked up!! hahahahaha! Tom Joyner is the man. He does that cruise to help keep kids n HBCU’s! I am very happy it was successful!
chelly you know Johnny chunky butt from DC too?! He went to the same Junior high as I didi but like 2 years before. Lincoln in NW. Back when he did perfect Combonation with Stacy Lattisaw. You might be too young to remember
Patti looks great LL is still sexy as hell. DAMN
Where’s the other 8 members of MINT CONDITION??? It seems like everytime I saw them on stage it was a bunch of people on stage. I think they’re one of the last few groups that actually played their own music instead of buying that pre-mixed stuff.
Meat….Bobby could NOT go….New law…If you owe CHILD SUPPORT u no getta Passaport!!!!!
1finedyme..u right..back then there was a real band. That’s why so many people were on stage during concerts. Now it’s just the main “singer” and their dancers. No more bands. Remember when the drummer would do a “solo” or the bass player while the singer switched outfits. Atleast thats how Patti and Chaka did it when I was little girl.
Who’s Tom Joyner??
New Edition was the ish, I still play their music.
Patti labelle still doing her thing, that’s good.
I hope I age as good as LL, I give him a lot of props.
@#25 Meat
I think the light-skinned guy from The O’Jays is Eric Grant. He was on Fighting Tempations (I can’t remember if the rest of the group was there, but I remember him from the movie).
Damn, Johnny looking chunky as hell….
Ms LaBelle looks STUNNING! I want to look like that at her age.
MINT CONDITION! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!
5 words…………. Patti Can Get It Anytime!!!
I dont care what they say, New Edition is not New Edition without the one and only BOBBIE BROWN!! I love them and all, but they are just not a group without him! I have always wanted to go on this cruise. This years guest looks kinda stale though!! And what is Teddy Riley performing by himself!! He is nothing without Guy!!
WELL DAMN WHERE WAS RICKY BELL??
AND THE DRUGS DONE TORE RALPH UP! HE LOOK LIKE CLYDE DREXLER!
THIS SEEMS LIKE IT WAS OFF DA CHAIN IM MAD I WASNT THERE
Damn, Patti got them big knee bunions!
bashy, Ralph was on that stuff too? say it aint so!!!!
Bouga and meat ….ya’ll leave the light skin brothas alone. My son is light skinned. I hope they make a come back by the time he starts to look for his wife! He is only 6! But he is soooooo cute! Lookin just like his momma!
ralph, from new edition, look CRACKED out!! he use to be the cute! now he looks like him and bobby brown are brothers!!!eeeewwww!!!
Dayum! Johnny Gill has gotten thick!
Everyone looks nice. My mom went on the cruise last year and she had a ball! I am going to have to go next time she does.
@Bashy, dayum! I didn’t know he was on drugs. That’s sad. It hurts my heart because I was in loooooooove with New Edition. One of my favorite songs “If It Isn’t Love”. I loved that video also! I could remember when that video came on, I was dancing right in front of the TV trying to do all the steps they did in front of the microphone. LOL! Oh how I miss the good ole days.
Johnny Gill looks Husky as Hell….
I LOVE MINT CONDITION!!!!!!!
And even NE looked good for they’re age.
I bet it was a slick trip. I’m goin’ next year!!!
BASHY, MAYBE RICKY COULD NOT GET A PASSAPORT IF HE OWES CHILD SUPPORT TOO…YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!

@NIKKI
U JUST TOOK ME WAYYY BACK! EVEN THOUGH I WAS A KID WHEN PERFECT COMBINATION CAME OUT I STILL REMEMBER IT. I WAS AREGUING WITH MY HUSBAND TRYING TO TELL HIM JOHNNY GILL USED TO BE A LOT BIGGER THAN WHAT HE IS NOW BUT HE DIDN’ BELIEVE ME.
*****starts singing*****
A perfect combination
Love plus you and me
A perfect combination
You couldn’t ask for anything better
@Nikki…I am from Southern Maryland 30 minutes from DC.
“Sensitivity” is still my song to this day. I love me some raloh and Ronnie.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but a couple of people just seem out of place in this lineup. Ma ybe LL sould have stayed home, and possibly Teddy too.
New Ediion looks great. Bet they sounded great 2.
I duno, Johnny looks the same 2 me.
NE Wives look beautiful.
Patti looked like the Fab Diva she is.
Um, Tom, Bo. What are u doin?
Teddy? Is that u? oh ok.
kind.
Ronnie’s wife is the lead singer from the group Blaque. She looks kinda like his little sister.
Titi always kept it the realest
he look good with his date
I love LL COOL J.
everysince I NEED LOVE
he is so sentimental but yet strong
and still look good after 40 years!
oops, i meant Tito
You know it’s a damned shame when the OJays look better than New Edition….WTF…LMAO…looks like fun Tom! Has anyone heard about Usher calling Tom and telling him he is going to “woop his azz” if he don’t stop talking about Tameka? I heard that Usher has been hitting up Hot 97 in NYC , Miss Jones as well as a couple of noted radio personalities about his manwhore….oopps….I mean his fiancee Tameka.
Usher is going overboard. It will be a matter of time before he alienates his fan base with this damned fool Tameka!
