I wish (oh how I wish) they would stop having that song for the Princess Pop Choir. Even when some entertainer sings the song (GAH!!!) we hear people in the audience shouting out, "So good! So good! So good!" which, of course, is not even really part of the dang song!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sang it at the dueling piano bar at least once a night and they couldn't even sing good. The lady next to me playing Black Jack said she was about to chew off her left arm if she heard that song one more time.....I about died laughing 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in the UK sweet Caroline is an anthem at a lot of sporting events inc soccer, boxing and horse racing and currently features in at least two TV adverts and is usually one of the floor fillers at weddings and parties 🥳 so if you r sailing ex UK expect to hear it a lot. 😁😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted April 26, 2022 #134 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Here is the backstory of "Country Roads" by John Denver. He was talking about the beauty of the Shenandoah mountains which he thought was West Virginia; the mountains are actually in Virginia and borders West Virginia. Either way they are pretty. I lived in Maryland and have taken the Drive through these mountains.

We live part of the year on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River and those lyrics - along with Oh, Shenandoah which includes "rolling river" (which the Shenandoah definitely is not) - makes me shake my head me every time I hear them!

Rare *Miss G* Posted April 26, 2022 #136 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Since the Blue Ridge Mountains run the length of western Virginia it is more likely he is referring to the geographical location as opposed to another state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LawDog61 Posted April 26, 2022 #137 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Returning a bit to the original theme of the thread, we go off the 7 day coastal on Sunday and had a good cruise. I am not a fan of the Royal Class ships, much preferring the Grand class ships. A couple of thoughts and observations: Our cabin Stewart Rolando took good care of us, twice daily service. Really no change from pre Covid days. Dinner reservations were a “hard get” if you didn’t have previously booked reservations. I think they may be a bit understaffed Edited April 26, 2022 by LawDog61 Premature posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCcruisecrazy Posted April 26, 2022 #138 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Not playing Sweet Caroline at a Wedding reception or a pool party will guarantee the event is a bust. LOL!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
