Favourite songs played on the cruise ship?

[adm9148]

What are your favourite songs played on your cruise ship which provide you with so many memories when you listen to them again?

 

My favourite 2 have to be:

Earth wind and fire- let's groove, as this was played so many times before the shows in the theatre and fills me with so many memories.

 

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole- Somewhere Over The Rainbow, as this was played so many times throughout my cruise on millie around the mediterranean in 2004. And fills me with so many emotions when i listen to it, as it is such a beautiful song :)

After our Baltics cruise in 2004, I came home and bought every one of Iz' albums. I agree, I love his work and mourn his passing.

"I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love" as sung by Perry Grant

I quoted this because I think everyone who is not familiar with this version should stop what they are doing and immediately access it online or however they have to in order to hear just how good this version is. Israel was an extremely talented guy (RIP) and this version gives me chills every time I hear it.

 

As for me, I've been a record collector for almost 40 years, so it's hard for me to answer your question. One song I can do without is the famous "Dollar Song." If I ever hear "dolla, dolla, dolla, dolla" again it will be too soon!

Just off the Summit - the Black Eyed Peas must be getting a huge royalty from X because they play "I've got a Feeling " after every show. It's become my new favorite cruise song!

[hcat]

The Iz song for us is synonymous with X--they should bring it back!!!

 

and of course the "dollar song" when they actually had genuine reggae bands on board--our favorite was Opus!

I couldn't work out why every time I heard Earth, Wind and Fire's Fantasy I felt quite ecstatic until I remembered that I heard it on various X cruises. It was often used for the shows. If I want something to pick me up - that's it!

 

Also, SOTR by the fab Iz - it just speaks X

Anything Bob Marley. That music is really only appropriate for Caribbean cruises, but no matter what ship I'm on and no matter where I go, I still smile every time I hear a Bob Marley song.

1st cruise we ever took, we boarded the ship, got into the elevator and were greeted with "The Morning After" by Maureen McGovern from the movie the "Poseidon Adventure". We laughed like heck hoping it wasn't a bad omen. The music must have been on a loop as we heard it many times that cruise. Jinglette and I still chuckle about it when we are reminiscing.

Couldn't agree more here, whilst cruising the Caribbean Bob Marley always brings a huge smile to my face!

OVER THE RAINBOW that was played at each sailaway!!!

Hi, Sweet! Do I remember correctly that you are going on a cruise in December?

 

My fave cruise song is "One Love" by Bob Marley, played at the pool by the reggae band (Opus was my favorite, too!) When I hear that or "Red Wine," then I know that I am really on vacation!

[igot2cruz]

Have to say I know I am on a cruise when I hear "Hot, Hot, Hot" and "Red, Red Wine". And "No Shoes, No Shirts, No Problems". Guess I could go on and on.

[cruiserking]

My favorite son is anything they happen to be playing when I board the ship on the first day of our cruise. ;)

I'd have to go with anything by Bob Marley also, at least in the Caribbean. The man was special as is his music.

[sweetair]

I agree 100%!!! Whenever I hear this song it takes me back to our wonderful cruises on Celebrity Constellation. I'm smiling just thinking about it.... :)

conquest of paradise by vangilis. On one of our constellation cruises the band would play this at sailaway. Very majestic.

I heard Iz for the first time on our Hawaii Cruise a few years back. We were on Mercury. I love his work and his sound. Its such a shame that he passed so young. His "N Dis Life" album and "Facing Future" album are both fantastic.

When Iz sings "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" it reminds me of cruising the Hawaiian Islands where rainbows occur almost everyday.
