harryw Posted December 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I have been spending hours poolside soaking up cool breezes and ship music. There seems to be much repetition of certain sings by certain artists, e.g, James Taylor, Rod Stewart, Cat Stevens. Not that I dislike their songs, but I wonder why there isn’t more diversity. Though if I hear Brand New Key one more time, I will scream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vallesan Posted December 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Yes!!! Music by the pool is a problem. We actually complained a while ago because the music before 12pm lunchtime was like ‘funeral’ music …. not what you want on holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgee Posted December 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I have zero complaints about music around pool on Vista. Perfect in terms of selection and volume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Pandazoo Posted December 9, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I wish there was no music by the pool. Most people want peace and or use iPods for their own choices. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryw Posted December 9, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Thankfully the volume is goldilocks., not too low and not too loud…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEEZLEE Posted December 10, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I agree…a bit irritating hearing the same songs over and over again…they need to change it up and some upbeat 50’s music “from time to time” would be fun and enjoyable…fits demographic of many onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pandazoo Posted December 10, 2023 #10 Share Posted December 10, 2023 @BEEZLEE I have friends who like hip hop, some country music, some oldies, some classics…not sure if age dictates music taste…being bombarded by the pool by music you may or may not like is obnoxious. I was on a Christmas cruise once that played Beyoncé over and over till everyone wanted to jump overboard! Many party ships do this which if you want that great. I hope O isn’t trying that out now.

Oceania pool music is quite subtle at just the right (fairly low) volume. There is zero "obnoxious bombarding." What in the world makes you speculate that Oceania is going in that direction?

Trust me, Perry Como continuously isn’t enjoyable by some of us either. You can’t please all the people all the time. Variety helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it isn't Gordon Lightfoot's The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on a loop, I'm good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
