Those little girls who once loved the New Kids on the Block are now adults -- with disposable income. The band quickly sold out a three-day Caribbean cruise where they’ll perform onboard and mingle.

The group, which reunited after 14 years for a tour and new album in May 2008, kicked off its summer performance schedule Friday with the concert cruise from Miami to the Bahamas. Carnival spokeswoman Cherie Weinstein says about 2,100 people -- mostly women in their 20s and 30s -- bought tickets to the cruise.
