sunnylasvegas Posted October 23, 2008 #127 Share Posted October 23, 2008 It used to be "HOt, HOt, HOt!" but last week on the Elation out of San Diego out servers all lined up to sing, "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane"---OR their VERSION Of this song! It was great! BUt, I don't think I'll ever forget our wonderful international servers--on two cruises now--who get up to sing someone "Happy Birthday." It's a unique experience---but wonderful!

airmanship Posted October 23, 2008 #128 Share Posted October 23, 2008 There are many songs to cruise by, but only one makes me want to book a cruise..... "Somewhere" on the Carnival Commercial :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseHealing Posted October 24, 2008 Author #129 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The response has been a real surpirse. I did not expect to see so much activity. I have already taken many of the suggestions and loaded my playlist. Please keep the songs coming. Here is another quick question, which artist's music reminds you of cruising? Bob Marley and Jimmy Buffet are my top artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yearnin4cruisin Posted October 24, 2008 #130 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Enya and anything Steel Drums. Thanks for posting this thread! We driving 18 hours to port this time and playing cruising CDs will certainly help to pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewsmom Posted October 24, 2008 #131 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Last year my 8 year old son brought his MP3 player with him to Xcaret. I was unhappy about him bringing the 'electronics' until I found out why... He played Kenney Chesney's Have another beer in Mexico ... while I was sitting under a palm tree, sipping a Corona, on the lagoon Christmas Day. It was a perfect moment and that song will forever remind me of a great cruise, that beautiful day and my darling son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frick_&_Frack Posted October 24, 2008 #132 Share Posted October 24, 2008 The soundtracks of any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (although, "At World's End" is my favorite). Particularly, sitting on the balcony, in the setting sun and listening to the last track....you can darned near *see* Capt'n Jack Sparrow and his bottle of rum setting sail....:D I keep asking DH that **if** I were to play it on the pool deck...do you think we could get everyone to run from side-to-side on the ship to "rock" it like in the movie. For some reason, DH has advised that I'm banned from pool deck. :p :D (and, please note, it's just a joke between us....I wouldn't try it nor would I endorse it to be tried...)

Desiree D Posted October 24, 2008 #133 Share Posted October 24, 2008 8 Yrs ago I bought a CD on board NCL, I've played that getting ready and driving to our cruises; Joy in the Caribbean, an NCL band playing Island favorites, including "Hot, Hot, Hot", "Who Let the Dogs Out", "Yellow Bird", .... I recently got it out again, and discovered that it sounds pretty "cheesy" (lacking in quality), but I never noticed it much before. It's just fun. I will play that again while packing next week for our upcoming cruise. Anything caribbean, or vacation sounding works for me. I love all kinds of music, but usually prefer Christian, praise and worship specifically, or contemporary. I haven't discovered enough with a caribbean beat though, for our vacation mode, though I do wish..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishtales6 Posted October 24, 2008 #134 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Escape (Pina Colada song), by Rupert Holmes...and also on that "Partners in Crime playlist.... Answering Machine.

flamingo1562 Posted October 24, 2008 #135 Share Posted October 24, 2008 This is for those that have been on at least one cruise. What song reminds you of a past cruise or favorite time on a cruise? The reason for me asking is that I am redoing my Ipod playlist titled "Cruise", and I like it to be songs you hear on the cruise ship or in ports. I have a lot of steel drums and Jimmy Buffet, but I know there are more. Oh yeah, my favorite song is "Red Red Wine" "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" , "Turn The Beat Around" by Gloria Estefan Love that Latin Beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calgarygary Posted October 24, 2008 #137 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you are cruising the islands, almost everything found here. Be sure to scroll through the archive calendar on the bottom of the page. If your work allows it, a great podcast to take you back to your cruise.

CruiseHealing Posted October 30, 2008 Author #140 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Thanks for all of the songs.

MzOhioLady Posted October 30, 2008 #144 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have to go with the "Cupid Shuffle" or any line dance. It used to be the "Electric Slide" and "Cha Cha Slide". Those songs really make me wanna move and groove and of course, BE ON A CRUISE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusie Posted October 30, 2008 #145 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My favorite is much softer than most of the traditional favs (which I also love!). When I need to recapture that sort of totally at peace with the world feeling that comes from just gazing out over the ocean or listening to the quiet with nothing but the sound of the ship moving through the water, I play "Sailin' On" (Dean Pitchford and Alan Mencken) sung by Nancy LaMott. I guess you have to be a cabaret fan to know her, but there will never be another to compare. I can't find the lyrics for this song anywhere but they are perfection for the diehard cruiser who just has to be on the water. There are other songs by the same name, which gets confusing. You can preview a bit of the song on Amazon. Great thread by the way! Thanks for letting me share my favorite with all of you. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QPCA16/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk4?ie=UTF8&qid=1225375890&sr=8-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNGALOHA Posted October 30, 2008 #146 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Anything by Kenny Chesney. I especially like the ones on his new album, Guitars and Tiki bars, Soul of a sailor, That Lucky ol sun, and best of all Boats. Also Alan Jackson song Its five o clock somewhere.

Cruisin2Sun Posted November 24, 2008 #150 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I recently discovered this song: "Lucky" by Jason Mraz, featuring Colbie Caillat. It just makes me think of sailing across the blue seas without a care in the world... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjH4Q7QuIpk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
