MEFIowa Posted November 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I was so happily surprised to confirm the mention some time back in a thread on music that someone thought they'd heard Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" on an O ship. Yes, Virginia, that song was played on Sirena's pool deck on Saturday November 26th, 2022, at 0830. I was so pleased I wrote myself a note and hummed & sang the song to myself all that morning! They played all of it but the very last moments (not unlike who some radio stations play songs as they fade out). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEFIowa Posted November 30, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted November 30, 2022 And my wife spoke with one of the string quartet members who told her that someone requested Led Zeppelin so the quartet played their instrumental version of "Stairway to Heaven", too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was I who heard it at breakfast in Terrace Cafe aboard Riviera and subsequently posted about it. As soon as the weird instrumental break in the middle was completed, the song was cut to some other muzak-style song without bringing back Jimmy Page's guitar or Robert Plant's vocals. Maybe some diner of a more recent generation asked the maitre d', "What the heck is that?" -- and that was the end of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherd really Posted November 30, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I really think playing the Immigrant Song on a loop during an Iceland cruise should be on everyone's bucket list. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkesbaynz Posted December 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Yep heard it too on Sirena😀. The music around the pool was pretty reasonable. DW was chuffed that Ed Sheeran was played. Preferred the pool ambiance to other lines. They must have listened to @pinotlover The music in the lounge was more what my elderly mother may have enjoyed.

MEFIowa Posted December 2, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The only other two songs I heard on Sirena that really stood out for me were: - "I Melt With You" by Modern English (1982) - "I Would Die 4 U" by Prince and the Revolution (1984) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted December 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I forget which ship, but one morning at breakfast in The Terrace “Fire” by Jimi Hendrix came on. I was like WTH, isn’t this Oceania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
