pc_load_letter Posted November 25, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Last summer in the port of San Diego, the Disney Wonder and the Holland ship had a horn battle. People loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted November 26, 2020 #8 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We were doing a 3 generational family cruise on the Disney Dream when it was new and the Discovery shuttle had launched from across the bay the hour before we sailed - very memorable hearing the wish upon a star theme horn sounding as we began our adventure.

pe4all Posted November 26, 2020 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2020 One of my favorite parts of cruising is when there is a horn battle between ships and/or ship lines. Especially love the Disney horns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I got a big smile on my face. You are absolutely right. I enjoy hearing those ship horns along with a couple of hundred other passengers. I guess we all get horny when we cruise.

We were on the MSC Orchestra in St Maarten and a sister MSC ship came in and they saluted each other. The Dream was docked there and after they finished, she let off with when you wish upon a star. First time I had heard it and wife turned to me and said, DIsney, even the horns are top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People loved it. Our first Disney cruise was on the Dream on a TA starting in Barcelona. At that time the port held four cruise ships, with the Dream closest to the harbor entrance/exit. When the first ship out (RCL I think?) sailed past the Dream and let loose its horn, you could hear it echo through the city. Cool. But then the Dream responded, and it was a surprise to me, and I think many on board. All of us up on the top deck raised our arms and cheered, like "take that!" A fun memory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nunuc2000 Posted November 26, 2020 #13 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Oh man... along with everyone else whose cruising plans have been turned inside out, hubby and I have been majorly impacted with having to cancel multiple cruises over the last 8 months. We're lucky to be able to cruise when we do, and we joke all the time that it's kinda sucking to be stuck in Canada for winter, but oh well, ya gotta roll with the punches, right? Staying healthy is important and this too shall pass. But this thread? I actually started crying watching the horn battles... This is by far the most emotional I've been about travel and disrupted lives in general since the whole Covid thing started. I've literally got tears rolling down my cheeks as I type this. I miss it all so much... I miss being able to travel with the amazing friends we've met through cruising over the years, I miss meeting new people and seeing all the door decorations, I miss giggling like kids as we wait to board the ship on embarkation day, I miss the ocean breezes and the incredible crew on the ships, I miss being truly happy every moment while cruising. I miss it more than I realized until this very moment. I just sincerely hope that cruising will get back to whatever we all feel is an acceptable "normal" before too long... and that we can all stay healthy enough to be able to cruise when that actually does happen. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our extended American cruising family and friends... stay healthy and be kind to each other. Celine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandlockedCruiser01 Posted November 28, 2020 #15 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) You probably should have put "[SFW]" in the title. (It means "safe for work", opposite of the more common "[NSFW]", or "not safe for work".) I waited until today to read this thread, because I last accessed Cruise Critic on a work computer, and the word "horny" put me off.

Djptcp Posted November 29, 2020 #17 Share Posted November 29, 2020 DH and I were sailing on a Holland America ship one Christmas week and there were many ships leaving Port Everglades that day. We were sitting on our balcony when a Disney ship pulled out and its horn was playing When You Wish Upon a Star. Then a Princess ship pulled out and its horn was playing the theme from Love Boat. It was so cool to hear them and people on the other various ships were cheering. Ah, the good old days of cruising - hope we get to do it in 2021!

mcgore83 Posted December 2, 2020 #19 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I also get the chills when thinking about the horns. Here's to praying we can all be on the ocean soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
