List your favorite "cruise" music?

we love basking beside the pool on sea days listening to "cruise" music on the headphones. the last cruise it was jimmy buffett for the most part.

this cruise i'd like a compilation of favorite caribbean or sailing or cruising songs.

will you share your favorites?

Bob Marley...Reggae!

Hot, Hot, Hot! Always brings back memories of cruising the Caribbean.

3. Margaritaville

2. Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes

1. Let's all get drunk and scr*w

The Pina Colada Song

Tiny Bubbles by Don Ho (a must if you go to Hawaii).

Parely Shells by Burl Ives

Byron Lee and the Dragonnaires (Ragga Ragga and Red Red Wine), this is the music that immediately takes me back to the Caribbean on board a Celebrity ship while relaxing on a deck chair with a Pina Colada.

Jimmy and Beach Boys!

Pearl Jam :D

they don't have to be music you've specifically heard on a cruise ship....just music pertaining to sailing or the ocean or the caribbean or......well, just being on the beach!

thanks for the input!

I second Red Red Wine. I also like Kokomo.

Another vote for Jimmy

On our very first cruise the singer/guitarist-his name was Gary, in the lounge before dinner, Manhattans sang Christopher Cross' sailing. It was great.

Every Celebrity cruise I've been on I've requested it of certain singers in Michael's Club, but none of them have known it. I would love to hear it again on a crusie. Brings back so many found memories.

I enjoy:

1. Sounds of the sea against the hull

2. The wind in the rigging

3. Rumbling of the ships exhaust

4. The clink of the fork as it picks up the last bite of dessert

Jimmy Buffet rules on a cruise, but any type of steel drum island music is also welcome. All accomplishes the same thing: gets you in the mood to have fun. A few margaritas can't hurt either.

The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. Songs about shipwrecks always brighten my day while on a cruise.

The Last Farewell by Roger Whittaker usually brings a tear to my eye. They were playing that on a documentary of the old P&O troopers shown on board the old Pacific Princess when we did Australia/NewZealand way bck in Jan 95.

Just about anything by Jimmy Buffet or Bob Marley as well as these: Barbados by Poco, A Place In The Sun and Sailing to Paradise by Pablo Cruise, Sailing by Rod Stewart, Back To The Island by Leon Russell. For Hawaiian cruises anything by Arthur Lyman.

Another vote for Christopher Cross and "Sailing". In fact, it's "our song".

Having met and worked for Royal Viking Line for years, it always brings back happy memories when we hear it.

I almost forgot Kokomo! One of my faves!!

gotta go with Reggae - Red Wine, an absolute must in the Caribbean!! and anything will a little disco (Donna Summers).

Red Red Wine played around the pool by a steel band is one of our favorite songs that we associate with cruising. For dancing....Lady in Red by Chris de Burgh. Lady in Red was the nickname I gave my wife years and years before we got married.

Reggae

steel bands

"Southern Cross" by CSN - absolutely my favorite!

Here's something new for you. If you are cruising to Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica or South America, try anything latin by a very hot new Los Angeles group called Ozomatli (translation is monkey in Aztec). If you hear the music and you don't start dancing, let me know.

This is unrelated to cruise music on the ship. But I loved the commercial Celebrity had about a year ago featuring the song "Somewhere over the rainbow" I thought that was a great commercial! That song will always remind me of my first cruise.
