Recent Cruisers - Bombarded with "Happy"?

[blackwing]

That's Julie Valeriote, she was the Cruise Director until Sinan came onboard in the beginning of April. I don't remember seeing Sinan, will have to look again.

Ah ok. I figured she had to be someone important. I thought I saw a brief shot of Sinan, it looked like it was taken during one of the late night parties at Spice H20. But I could be wrong.

It was played a lot this last week on the Star and everytime it put me in a great mood. I loved it!

After reading the previous posts, I'm going on You Tube and listen to "Southern Cross" by Crosby,Stills & Nash. Great nautical/sailing tune.

That "Southern Cross" is my all time favorite for getting in cruise mode. Even if I stay in the northern hemisphere.

 

Any Bob Marley tune gets me thinking about it too. Just 'cause thats Caribbean to me.

 

I don't hear "Happy" very often (now), so it does not bother me. When I hear it 200 times in a week, my views may be different.

how about "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. (Yes, I'm dating myself.)

 

That song reminds me of a time when we rented sailboats in the Caribbean with friends, long before we began cruising. It was a younger time, a carefree time. We sailed to Christopher Cross and Jimmy Buffet, and had a cassette tape player on the boat with a mix of "sailing songs." Might try to put together another one on iTunes - from this board. Although Pharrell's Happy will not be included. (Did you know he is over 40 years old himself?)

I love that "Happy" little song, but I bet I won't hear it on my next cruise (on HAL).

I have it as a ringtone for my cell. Every time my phone rings I hate to answer it!

for Mothers day and played it for me. I closed my eyes and went straight back to the Star and yelled for a cocktail!!!

I love "Happy"--it always makes me want to dance--and I always smile when I hear it. There is a video made by a cruising family--with this song--that is really cute.

Cheer up folks--life is short!

Here is the Bermuda version ....

Really...you haven't heard it played in every store you've gone into lately and all over the TV too.

 

I can say I have only probably heard it a couple of times but I can't stand it. I saw part of an interview with the singer and they played a part of it. Did not like the sound at all. She is probably like me. I can't tell you when the last time I have been in a store that would play it. Probably Christmas and then it is Christmas music. I also don't have TV so I guess I am blessed.

The Happy video played in the NCL channels in the staterooms. And yes, that lady is Julie.

 

I was on the Getaway week of 4/26 and was expecting that song to he overplayed but it was less than expected. My last cruise Blurred Lines was overplayed and it took me a while to enjoy the song again.

 

The NCL version of Happy was played on the final farewell show.

Since being on the Getaway last month and meeting everyone in the video, I love hearing the Happy song!:D

[saxgirl84]

I was kind of disappointed in the lack of the song actually. I heard it maybe 4 or 5 times total in the 7 days, and every time I heard it, I got Happy :-) every time I hear this song from now on, it'll take me back to the trip of a lifetime! Had such a great cruise on the GA! Working on my review tonight now that things are getting back to "normal"

Love that "Happy" song, but it does get stuck in my head.

I prefer the old Keith Richards adaptation of "Happy"
