What is on your cruising playlist?

[nathand95]

Hey everyone! I just had a great idea for a fun thread.

 

What songs do like to listen to while on a cruise?

What songs really put you in a cruising spirit before you cruise?

What are some downright awesome vacation songs?

 

I don't think this type of thread has been done recently; all the threads similar to this were over 2 years old, so I thought I'd create a current CRUISING PLAYLIST.

Listening to the Beach Boys always gets me in vacation mode:)

One set has "cruise tunes" from the 50's and 60's.

Sea Cruise------Freddy Ford

Sea of Love-----Phil Phillips

La Mer (Beyond the Sea)-Bobby Darin

Ebb Tide-------The Righteous Bro.

Over the Mountain Across the Sea--Johnny and Joe

Almost ANYTHING by the Beach Boys

[Catrin]

Here are the songs that we hear all the time on cruises... so when we hear them, it brings us right back....

 

Cha Cha Slide

Friends in Low Places (ok, we are not country fans.... but this song is played all the time on the cruises we have been on!)

Margaritaville

Red Red Wine

Electric Slide

 

a new one.. the Cupid Shuffle?

[Carlyzmom]

Michael Franti - Sound of Sunshine!! PERFECT cruise song!!!

[laumicmah]

How about....what songs do you like to sing karaoke to on the cruise?

[Colorado Kat]

Jimmy Buffett - what else?????

[BlueJacketsFan1]

Ever since our first cruise we always do a pre-cruise stay in SoBe. While we are there we always go to Mango's Tropical Cafe on Ocean Drive. They have a Reggae band there call Innasense which we love to listen too. We have their CD and we listen to it at home to remember our past cruises. It also helps us look forward to our upcoming cruises when we get home and wait the six months till we can book our next cruise 18 months before we sail.

We listen to Mushroom Jazz. We have it our our iPod speakers playing our room at all times (When we are in it, of course). I think that we have almost all of the albums on our iPod. It has become our vacation soundtrack.

 

If you are interested. Mushroom Jazz is a series of musical compilations by DJ Mark Farina.

[suezyq50]

I really don't care for country, but I just added Beer in Mexicoby Kenny Chesney, Where the Boat Leaves From by Zac Brown Band, Toes in the water by Zac Brown Band, and Water by Brad Paisley.

We sail on "Victory" this coming Sunday. Anytime we are in the Caribbean, it's Bob Marley non-stop. Our all time favorite is "Redemption Song", but there so many more Marley great hits. My wife and I are about the last people that someone would think are reggae fans.

[dudaze11]

I listen to a lot of Bob Marley and something a little more random that I listen to would be these songs by 311: Amber, Champagne, Waiting, and Be Here a While et al. These guys own an island in the Caribbean and if you listen to them I think you will agree that it gets into their music.

Great ideas! Thanks much!

A similar thread was done recently, but I just deleted the subscription! *DOH!*

 

Bob Marley is my go-to... particularly the "Legends" album (best hits). My bf bought this for me last Christmas before our January cruise to OR and GC.

 

Otis Redding, Jimmy Buffett, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, anything Reggae or Reggaeton, some UB40, Beach Boys, "Come Sail Away" by Styx... I could go on and on!

 

There are a ton of other great mentions so far, too!:D

[kayakittyyak]

Add "Rock the Boat" and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" to all of the above!

[Cruisingzs]

Not a huge country fan, but I HAVE to listen to Zac Brown 'Toes' and "knee deep"

Jimmy Cliff, "I can see clearly now"

LOTS of Buffet and Marley

[sjn911]

Thanks...I've saved your playlist! Grooveshark is a great way to preview songs before buying them. I always make a cruise DVD slideshow after each cruise and I'm already on the lookout for songs for the next one.
