LibertyBelle Posted July 28, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2004 usually only when leaving Port Canaveral and upon arrival into a port. Special occassions I guess would account for more, but in the 5 cruises we have been on with DCL it was just leaving Port Canaveral and arriving in each port :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWog Posted July 28, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2004 we had sort of a horn war with a Costa ship leaving St. Thomas. They kept blowing theirs over ours so Capt. Tom just kept going until you could hear it clearly. Lots of yelling and hooting from the Costa ship during and after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karebear50 Posted July 28, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2004 We were on the Wonder in 2002 and we absolutely loved it that the ship played "when you wish upon a star". They played it quite frequently on our cruise. Always before leaving a port or passing a ship. They also play a little chiming noise thats supposed to be "magic pixie dust" sound before the captain makes his announcements. Its a nice special touch...Disney magic as usual. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted July 30, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Yes, the horn was quite interesting. The other thing I want to post is, we were on another cruise ship, and we had docked. It was early a.m., and we had an aft cabin. Well, I got up and flew out onto our balcony, only to be greated by the passengers from the Disney ship, and Goofy painting the front of the ship. The Disney ship was docked immediately behind us. I promptly slipped back into the cabin and put my bathrobe on. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted July 30, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I guess it varies. I heard it quite often on my first cruise, and rarely on my second. I love it so much, I have my PC rigged at work to play it every time I get an email from Cruise Critic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWog Posted July 30, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I have my PC rigged at work to play it every time I get an email from Cruise Critic. I have mine to play it when the computer powers up, wife thinks I'm an idiot :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabySam99 Posted July 31, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I have mine to play it when the computer powers up, wife thinks I'm an idiot :rolleyes: Same here! My hubby thinks I'm nuts too! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted July 31, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2004 When we were on the Magic, it played at noon every day. If you are out at the pool deck it is load. After the first day, I made sure to keep an eye on the clock when noon was approaching, so I could be prepared to cover my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted August 11, 2004 #15 Share Posted August 11, 2004 MrPeteLI Thanks for the link. Makes me want to sail Disney again. Now if I could only find the link to the QM2's horn (from the original Queen Mary). Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted August 12, 2004 #17 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Reference QM2's horn - no, it is not a tune, but is very melodious, and they say it can be heard over 10 miles (read loud!). Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordPrefect Posted April 16, 2005 #21 Share Posted April 16, 2005 When we were on the Magic, it played at noon every day. If you are out at the pool deck it is load. After the first day, I made sure to keep an eye on the clock when noon was approaching, so I could be prepared to cover my ears. When I was on the Magic in 03, they announced on the PA system that the horn was going to sound so those within earshot could cover their ears. Guess somebody complained.

ualtim Posted April 16, 2005 #22 Share Posted April 16, 2005 We were in Port Everglades in Ft Lauderdale aboard HAL's Zuiderdam immediately following Hurricane Jeanne and saw both the Wonder and the Magic in port as Port Canaveral was still closed. One was tied up along the pier and the other was just entering the port from the channel when dueling "Wish upon a Star" started. The one inbound played it, followed by the one at the pier replying with its own horn. Then it was repeated, and repeated once more. It was to say the least quite a sight (err...sound). I have a picture of them on my other computer to capture the moment as it does not occur very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted April 26, 2005 #23 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I had the pleasure of pointing out to the Master that the horn on both MAGIC and WONDER does not meet SOLAS recommentations or US federal regulations. However, since he invited my daughter to press the button to sound the horn while leaving port, I decided not to pursue the issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Mick Posted April 28, 2005 #24 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Look carefully up the fore mast. The "real" whistles are up there and are seldom used.

CathyCanada Posted May 5, 2005 #25 Share Posted May 5, 2005 LOL Capt BJ!! A few years back I, too, had the pleasure (and excitement, yes, I am a geek) of sounding the horn with my friend and business partner, Ella2. We would have fought over which one got to do it so the Captain suggested we both do it. :D Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
