Cruise Music Playlist

[beaming90]

I was driving into work this morning and heard Sail Away by the Commodores.  That got me thinking that maybe I should start a cruise playlist for when I cruise Alaska this August.  I like all kinds of music - Country, Contemporary Christian, Classic Rock, Hair Bands, etc.  so tell me what is one or two songs you always want on your cruise playlist.

I'll be honest, my playlist is called Island...  It includes a lot of Reggae and Hawaiian music to match my cruises.  :)  When we go to Alaska I'll have to come back to this post!

Whatever the playlist, I sure hope it's being played through your headphones.  Or do you inflict it on your fellow guests?

Like there is absolutely NO MUSIC played anywhere on the ship. 😄

 

But YES, use your headphones or earbuds.

Agreed!  My playlist is actually for pre-cruise -- e.g., playing in the car in the days leading up to departure.  Gets us even more excited for the trip.  I've never listened to my own music during sailaway.

Seriously?  I have two big subwoofer speakers I am putting in my checked luggage to set up on my balcony!!  Everyone on the ship and in port will get to hear my playlist!  Motley Crue and Judas Priest for all!!

This will more likely be played before and while flying...I don't think I have ever gotten out my Ipod on one of my cruises yet but did listen to it during the flight.  And to get ready to go!!

I love Johnny Horton! 

[beaming90]

Thank you all for the answers.  I just thought it would be a fun post to see what everyone considered their favorite cruising music.  Of course I will have my earbuds, and I know there is music all over the ship.  For those of you that answered thanks!  For the rest...

 

 

Too bad I am at work, it's 5:00 somewhere!!

 

And GO CHIEFS!!!!!

No 8 track here. But I do have a Sony HiFi Beta VCR that I used as a reel to reel for audio storage. Still have the four hour tapes but, of course, the Beta player is "on the fritz."
