mixed tape

[Stillstoked]

okay not exactly a mixed tape, but.....

What songs/artists are your favorites for cruising? Id like to download some music to listen to in the cabin while we enjoy the balcony. This is our first cruise and I would like to make it romantic.

thanks

The Beatles, anything by them.

 

But please use headphones, the people in the cabin next door don't want your music.

[Keith1010]

Adele if you want something more current.

 

I too love The Beatles.

I don't play my music loud. Are the walls really that thin?

No they are not that thin - in fact they are very well insulated. But music if played too loud can travel. In particular if played on your balcony, at which point everyone around you will hear. Another thing to keep in mind is the inside of your stateroom can become very windy if the balcony slider is open - and your stateroom door will slam shut if opened due to the pressure differential.

I will bring my Bose QC25 headphones to listen to Audible books, The Beatles, Light Rock of the 60's , 70's , Country Music 50's - now etc.

 

The headphones keeps noise around me out, does not stick in my ear like this earbud deals and get itchy and mungy, and folks can't hear what i am listening to.

 

:D

Don't leave your balcony door open.

You will affect the air conditioning in your cabin and quite a few near you.

I keep a Bahamas Mix on my Ipod. It has everything from Jimmy Buffet, Beach Boys, Reggae, to Classic Rock.

 

Anytime I hear a song that makes me think about the cruise, beach, or the ocean, I add it to the list.

 

Rock the Boat, Electric Avenue, Louie Louie, Three Little Birds, Southern Cross. Heck, it even has the Pirates of the Caribbean Theme Song!

motobk, Host Walt, Flatbush Flyer, 1oldpirateandhismatey,

thank you, those are great ideas.

 

And to all those worried that i may leave my balcony door open for an extended period of time or play my music too loud, please rest assured that I am very respectful to those around me and would never do anything to ruin another s vacation.

 

I am guessing the balcony door is a hot topic issue.

 

There are TV's in the room correct? do they come with head phones? I would hate to disrupt my neighbors.

Two of my favorites there.

Celebrity have many music channels on the tv, we normally like to listen to the disco channel when getting ready for pre dinner drinks, very motivational for getting into the mood.:D
