cruiseguys2009 Posted March 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Here are the Lyrics to the wonderful Norwegian Cruise Lines Farewell Song, "Home Away From Home" that is sung when the Crew is presented for recognition, on the second to the last night in the showrooms. “Home Away From Home” You, Came Into Our World From A Distant Land For A Special Reason And We, Opened Up Our Home Anytime Of Day, Any Season Making Your Dreams Come True Your Wish Is Our Command We Will Be Waiting When You Return #2 We, Have A Way of Life Free From All That’s Wrong A Life Can Be Contrary You, Have A Second Home Sailing Smooth Is Your, Sanctuary We’ll Navigate Your Way We’ll Orchestrate Your Day We Will Be Waiting, When You Return #C This Is Our Home Away From Home You Are A Part Of Our Family We Will Be Here Making Your Dreams Come True This Is The Norwegian Way! This song still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it sung, especially when I see all the wonderful Crew Members who work so hard, parade up on stage and get the recognition they truly deserve. Just thought others who adore NCL as much as I do would like to remember this too. Posting this now, has brought back a flood of happy memories....hopefully it will do the same for you too! Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Sailing! I love that song! Thank you for posting the lyrics. However, Norwegian changed out their farewell song recently. Maybe I'll get used to it, but the original was so much better!

che5904 Posted March 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2012 This if funny, thanks for posting. When I feel a pity party coming on because my next cruise isn't booked yet. I want to smile reliving our wonderful time on our NCL cruises. I just youtube "NCL crew show" or "NCL farewell show" and listen to it. Always puts a smile on my face.

auntierobin Posted March 22, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I love those shows, the crews are so terrific, and they deserve every standing ovation they get. Just reading the words has brought tears to my eyes as it does during the show. Thinking back on our cruise in Feb. I don't even remember the song, must have been the new one.

snorklinbarb Posted March 23, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Does anyone have the new lyrics? Hi Mary, When did they change them? On the Gem in Jan. it was definitely the original and the one we all know. Guess I'll have to listen extra carefully on the Jade next month. Hope you & Richard are doing great!

coka Posted March 23, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2012 After they sing home away from home, they go into the "We are the World" song. Is that what you are thinking of? coka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Islanders Posted March 23, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 23, 2012 That's funny, every time I've been on NCL they always sing Pete Townshends "Get out, don't come back!" :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soaringfalcon Posted March 23, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I you tubed and got chills all over again. I'll never forget that feeling on our first cruise. Sigh....too many days until I get to hear this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguys2009 Posted March 23, 2012 Author #15 Share Posted March 23, 2012 See and I thought I was the only one that got all tearie eyed....I am so glad that this song brings back so many memories. I youtubed it too and found so many great recognition shows, what memories. Keep the contributions of what this song meant to you and your vacation continuing. I love to hear about them!

It will have to grow on me. I really like the original one. It's like changing the theme song to your favorite TV show 6 seasons in. It leaves you feeling a bit :cool: LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanDreaming2 Posted March 23, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Does anyone know the name of the new song? I have looked for it on Utube and nothing so far. Their press release from October 2011 says they were going to introduce a revised farewell show. I haven't seen any videos either but take my word for it, newer isn't necessarily better. ;) "The brand platform comes to life onboard Norwegian's ships when guests are officially welcomed into the Norwegian community and can experience the "Cruise Like a Norwegian" themed Sail-Away Party and drink menu; all new White Hot Party with "Norwegian" elements; special "Cruise Like a Norwegian" photo and video opportunities; and a revised farewell show, so guests will continue to feel a part of the Norwegian community until their next cruise."

cruiseguys2009 Posted March 24, 2012 Author #24 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thank you for posting this video too. I like the original much better. I wonder if they changed the Farewell Song because the Original Song has something to do with Jean Ann Ryan Productions (who once had a lifetime entertainment contract with NCL) and after her contract was abruptly cancelled last year, the song was ordered to cease and desist too? I do like the original and it reminded me so much of a "Feel Good" Disney song that you keep singing in your head over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to get the whole song recorded next month. I hadn't thought about that. Wouldn't they have had to stop using the old one immediately though?
