Name your favorite cruise song!

If you're headed to the Caribbean, any steel drum ( Calypso ) music will put your mind in cruise mode. It's sad that Carnival no longer has a live steel drum band playing music on the Lido deck.:( I'm planning to have plenty of Calypso music loaded on my ipod for our next cruise.:D

 

I agree..... I miss the steel drum band and the Midnight Buffet the most.

"Come Sail Away" by Styx, and a good song to get you in the mood for snorkeling, if that's on your plans this cruise, is "Octopus's Garden" by the Beatles.:D

I forgot an obvious snorkeling song. "Under The Sea" from The Little Mermaid.:D

"I'm on a Boat". :D. Hilarious.

 

I only know of this song because some kids at my daughter's college did a

of it. She goes to College of the Ozarks, a school with some tight morals based rules.

 

 

Here are some of the songs from my cruise playlist --

 

Three Little Birds - Bob Marley

Somewhere Beyond the Sea - Frank

Come Sail Away - Styx

Into The Mystic - Van Morrison

Sailing - Christopher Cross

When the Sun Goes Down - K. Chesney

Life in a Northern Town - Dream Academy

La Mer - Charles Trenet ( in my opinion, better than the english version)

Brown Eyed Girl - J. Taylor

Definitely ...Zak Brown Band "Get away to where the boat leaves from"

It's got a reggae beat...some of the words are..

 

"get away to where the boat leaves from

takes away all your big problems

you got worries you can throw them in the blue ocean

but you gotta get away to where the boat leaves from"

 

"Take one part sand and one part sea and one part shade of banana tree

the drinks they are cold and the reggae is hot and I know this is the place for me"

 

I am not cruising until October and I have the cd on in my car and blast it loud and sing along..Enjoy!!

 

 

I haven't heard this one and I thought I had heard all of their songs!

Add to the list "One Particular Harbor" by Jimmu Buffet.

 

 

I Love that song. I would say anything by Bob Marley but the one we look forward to the most is Three Little Birds.

 

Have a great Cruise

It's a bit bubble gum but I like to start my cruise with Rhythm of the Ocean by Hawaiian Style Band. I discovered this song several years ago after we booked our Spirit to Hawaii cruise. It was one of two songs playing in the background on the Waikiki Beach web cam page and I just fell in love with it.

 

Like I said it's pure pop but give it a listen.....I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :)

Excellent! We will add that one to our collection!!!

 

Here is a version by college students at a school with less tight moral values -acapella! (F-bomb WARNING)

Pretty good though.

 

This is the original SNL version (explicit) If you can get beyond the language, this is one of my fave SNL shorts. (F-bomb WARNING)

 

Australian Navy guys version...Again... (F-bomb WARNING)
