Rare Familygoboston Posted March 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Anyone else miss Iggy Pops "Lust for Life" as Royal Caribbean's anthem? (As part of the "get out there" campaign.) What a great piece of music, and it worked for cruising...I miss it! Thsts all! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisebirdie Posted March 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2015 ...And it won "Worst Ad Song Ever". How funny to use a song about drugs, alcohol and sex for a RC ad. The music is great, but the lyrics...smh. I did find a bad copy of the you tube video of the RC commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the drugs are not a good idea while cruising, but sex and alcohol pretty much sums up the experience for a lot of Royal Carinbean cruisers;) That's part of what makes it work, that idea that you have to have a lust for life to travel! Substitute food for drugs and it works perfectly! Lol! Lust for life is my ring tone [emoji1] Great one! :D Edited March 2, 2015 by Familygoboston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted March 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I miss the song, I miss the beat. I don't care about the lyrics. It always reminded me of cruising. There are a lot of things I miss about the way Royal Caribbean used to be. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted March 2, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yes! I agree with cleara on being on hold and listening to Lust for Life. *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare splash_in_the_water Posted March 2, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 2, 2015 To be honest, I never really liked that song for the commercials. I mean, it's not a bad song, it always just annoyed me when it came on. I didn't really like when Carnival used that Queen song either....I guess I'm just bitter. I know the songs worked well for what they were intended. but anyway Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyeilis Posted March 2, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Miss miss miss it! It was playing during the runup to our wedding and honeymoon. We honeymooned in Alaska on Radiance, so it was just a huge part of our planning process, seeing the ads all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debshomespun Posted March 2, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I had it on my last cell as my ring tone. Never got around to adding it to my new cell yet. I do miss it though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly Steve Posted March 2, 2015 #17 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) The beat made it perfect for a thirty second commercial but to me, the song at length, wears out its welcome. :o Edited March 2, 2015 by Philly Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted March 2, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I probably miss it because they didn't find anything better to replace it with. The Ocean is calling just never did the same for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find the one where the girls do a Med cruise. I remember seeing that one before we went on our Med cruise and it got us all excited for it.

wolfcathorse Posted March 2, 2015 #20 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I hear the intro often between noon and 3 pm....The Jim Rome show opens with it and plays the intro again at the top of the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yj_eugene Posted March 2, 2015 #23 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Lust for life is my ring tone [emoji1] Mine too. And the card reader ping is my text message tone. I also miss the old "sandwich board" website, which always seemed to work just fine. Every "improvement" of the website since seems to be anything but.
