I also received this announcement from Princess and could not be more excited. I have loved Sound of Music for the 50 years it has been out. Funny thing, if I read this correctly, it is claimed that the movie will be played ..."on all 2015 cruises". We just returned (Sunday) from a cruise aboard the Emerald and there was not a playing of the movie-You can be sure I would have noticed it!!!!-So I guess they really meant on all future 2015 cruises?? I will find out in the next couple of months.

More than likely. The movie is fine, though I think the stage version is better. The pop choir bit should be interesting, since most of the songs (the ones that are standards, anyway) lend themselves well for that sort of thing. South Pacific wouldn't work as well.

Oh I really hope we have this in June to the baltics. love the Princess pop choir at least this time I would know all the songs lol

 

My guess is they made a deal fairly recently with the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization, and have been been gearing up for this.

I can't swear to it, but I think The Sound of Music was available in the movies on the tv when I was on the Regal in January. It wasn't on Mutts. I love the movie, but maybe not for me every cruise on Mutts. Once would be enough. I just realized I only have 2 cruises left in 2015, so I guess it's ok. But during my Thanksgiving cruise between the football games and this movie, not much time for other movies on Mutts.

Contest started in January, so it sounds as if they would have the movie on all 2015 cruises like the announcement said. Of course, not sure why they announce the contest in March if it did start in January.

 

The pop choir bit should be interesting

 

If nothing else, it finally brings different songs to what the pop choir performs. As far as I know, "Sweet Caroline" is not the "The Sound of Music."

This is a complete hijack, but I'll tell the story anyway. I went to a school that had only recently gone coed. I sang in the school choir. For a reunion weekend, they invited all the choir members through the years back to campus and each decade was assigned a song. That's right: my decade got "There Is Nothing Like A Dame." Because apparently it hadn't occurred to anyone that in the final years of that decade, there actually were dames right there in the choir. Nonetheless, we few sopranos enjoyed singing it very much. It's a total show-stopper and such fun to sing.

I am so excited about this. I just bought the remastered box set last year and I love it. I have been watching it for 25 years and can't get enough! I'm so excited about the idea of seeing it, doing trivia and sing along.
