WeBeCruisin' Posted April 30, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2010 HERE you go. Just substitute "Fun Ship" for "Jetplane" It was a big hit for Peter, Paul and Mary and was written by John Deutschendorf, who later changed his name to John Denver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigman01 Posted April 30, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) The song is "Leaving On A Jet Plane." It was a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary back in the late 60's/early 70's. John Denver re-recorded it, and has probably the most popular version of the sing. Like another poster said, just subsitute "jet plane" with "fun ship" and you'll basically have Carnival's version of the song. Here are the lyrics to the song: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/john+denver/leaving+on+a+jet+plane_20073310.html Edit: Oops, looks like I'm a little slow in my reply, since others have already posted the info.

DanJ Posted April 30, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2010 It sure sounded like they were singing "leaving our fun ship" to me, especially with the context of it being the last night of the cruise. But who knows for sure, considering all the various accents of the waiters around our table LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows for sure, considering all the various accents of the waiters around our table LOL. Yeah, that makes much more sense to me too. But like you said, it's hard to understand them. I am just trying to figure out what to post on my facebook page that sounds more creative than "be back in 4 days...headed on a cruise!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILUVCRUZEN Posted April 30, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) It does say "leaving our funship" I have listened to several different versions on youtube and this one is the clearest Here are the words as I hear them:D All your bags are packed, you're ready to go. We're standing here in front of you, we hate to see you go and say goodbye.

CruiseHealing Posted May 1, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 1, 2010 OK, I will take a shot. You can post this (or something like it) on your face book page. I tried to do it to the tune of "Leaving on the Jetplane". It is not great, but it may work. As a big John Denver fan, I want to tell John I am deeply sorry for doing this to one of his classics. All my bags are packed, I’m ready to sail, I’m standing here Outside your door, I hate to wake you up then leave you at home, But I’m sailing on the Fun Ship, The countdown clock is telling me to go. Oh Babe, I need to Sail. I will think of you on my balcony. And Toast a drink as I Sail out to Sea, I wish you were here to see the ocean blue. Cause, I’m sailing on the Fun Ship, Don’t know when I’ll be back again, Oh, Babe you should have booked to go. But I’m sailing on the Fun Ship, The countdown clock is telling me to go. Oh Babe, I need to Sail. So many times, they will take my photograph, So many shows and bingos I can tell you it’s going to be lots of fun. Every port I go, I will think of you, Every show they will sing, it will be for you, If I come back, I’ll show you my new rings. Now I have got to go, Don’t cry no more. Close your eyes, And Think of your next cruise. But I’m sailing on the Fun Ship, The countdown clock is telling me to go. Oh Babe, I need to Sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
