A few that weren't mentioned yet:

 

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks

 

While I love Seasons in the Sun it is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard. I can't even imagine it on a cruise list of songs.

The reason I do include it is that it is one of those songs that makes me stop and appreciate the fine things that I do have in my life. Which at that time, happens to be a wonderful moment to spend time with and appreciate my family. It also lets me take a moment to remember my lost loved ones and remember that they're there with us as they would have wanted to be.

 

I understand your POV, don't get me wrong. Most people would agree with you. I just wanted to clarify why I always include that song. Music does speak differently to everyone! :)

"Cabo Wabo" - Van Halen with Sammy Hagar ("white sand sure make a tan look nice!"..."wanna crash on the beach!"..."c'mon, let me take you down; I will show you all around, down in Cabo") - even though I've never been there. YET! :D

Numero uno on the top ten "Most inappropriate songs to play on a cruise" list has to be "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion.

 

I mean, the fact that it was the theme song to the highest grossing film of all time doesn't override the fact that the movie was about a huge sinking passenger ship.

 

And what song did Grady hear played not once, but twice on his last cruise? Yep. The great French Canadian diva herself, crooning that insufferable dirge.

[quote name='katb85']What are your favorite songs to listen to, to either get you in the mood for an upcoming trip, or to bring back wonderful memories?:)[/quote]

I start playing 2 Pina Coladas by Garth Brooks about a month before we cruise. In fact, I'll be playing it tstarting this week. Since we live in Florida, we play it about 10 times while driving to the cruise terminal.

"Drinking 2 pina coladas, one in each hand . Let all set sail with Captain Morgan", but we definately will leave dry land. Then, when we get on the ship, I go to the bar in the atrium and order two pina coladas, one for each hand. I haven't met the bartender yet that understands:D ...LOL

[quote name='Minn.cruisers']All great songs......and so many. Time to make up a few more CD's !!! :p
Planning a cruise for 2009, it will be really hard to wait that long. Especially watching 5 inches of Spring snow fall down today here in Minnesota...:rolleyes:[/quote]


I feel your pain! I just want winter to break and let the sunshine in!

As for songs....Just about anything Bob Marley.
Jammin
Three little birds

Jimmy Buffet too
and that ..."hot hot hot" song always gets me going
Reggae on the lido deck with a tall DOD in my hand is about as good as it gets on a cruise.
