Cruisin' Music

[valenpoo32]

My husband and I are going on a cruise this May to the Mexican Riviera. This is the first time (after 7 cruises) we've had music downloadable and a portable speaker to bring with us. Looking for good songs and artists to download for a "cruise playlist" to listen to in our room and on our balcony (at an appropriate volume ;)). And as much as I'd like to take my husbands advice of all Jimmy Buffet all the time, I think we need a little more variety. We enjoy most genres.

Thanks!!!

"Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. "Toes" by Zac Brown Band. "Cruisin'" by Coolio. (Ok, that last one isn't exactly talking about an actual cruise, but still. Lol

Yes! Thank you, I need Kokomo! I just downloaded "Toes" today that's what made me think about a cruise playlist. I've never heard "Cruisin'" but going to listen (and probably download) now, gotta love Coolio :')

I think you should bring the music YOU like...doesn't have to be "themed"....just enjoyable to YOU!

[Dcoy]

Love Boat thyme form the 70's TV show. I always play it as we sail away sitting on our balcony.

I agree with all of this as most of these are on my playlist, but mine include lots of Bob Marley, Stephen Marley, Ziggy Marley, and several Steel Drum only (instrumental) playlists.

[SeeJennyCruise]

Thanks to the OP for starting this thread. It helped me update my playlist for our upcoming cruise. :D

 

Nice playlist you got there SeeJennyCruis.

Love Beyond the Sea, Summer wind and Southern Cross.

Love this music!

Thanks for sharing, I picked up a couple of songs from you.

[SeeJennyCruise]

I forgot to include Galveston by Glen Campbell for those of us sailing out of Galveston. :cool:

[mackjack9139]

Even if we're nowhere near Mexico, if it's warm and there are palm trees I play James Taylor "Mexico" a few times :D

[h_blond2]

You have to have some Bob Marley on your playlist!

Nothing feels more odd than hearing steel drums in the Port of Long Beach. Mariachi Music would be a better choice.

 

Tequila - The Champs

 

Spanish Flea - Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

 

Hotel California - Eagles

[CoW mAn]

Wave Over Wave by Great Big Sea

 

Although I'd suggest/request headphones for the balcony

[londonben]

One of my favourite cruise experiences is watching a beautiful sunset and listening to "Slip into something more comfortable" by Kinobe.

How did I leave out Santana!?! Thank you. I've added several songs to my basic chill list and my sailing list.

Yep, good one. I've added :) Thanks!

Good point. I used a different list when sailing out of Southampton. We're sailing out of Long Bean next year. I grew up with Herb Albert. Thanks!

[broadwaybaby123]

Anything Jimmy Buffet

Anything Beach Boys

"Who Let The Dogs Out?" by Baja Men

"One Love (People Get Ready)"

"Red Red Wine"

"Conga" by Miami Sound Machine

 

Basically anything that gives you "GOOD VIBRATIONS" (The Beach Boys)!

That was a new one for me. I had to look it up and found all the different mixes to the tune. I went with the Stephen Hague remix

Good find. I maybe should have added the instrumental mixes. It is not very good with lyrics.

If he likes Jimmy, give Kenny Chesney's "Life on a Rock" album a listen. I think it has an islands/tropics vibe. Clearly you need some Bob Marley on the list. I'd suggest the remastered "Legend" album. Enjoy.
