LewLew Posted November 11, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2004 I know this has been done before but it's always fun to see what everyone's taste are when it comes to music and cruiseing. I always have Elton John and Billy Joel on my cd to prepare for the piano bar. We usually spend most nights there on our cruises. Anyone else have any favorites?

ellikitten Posted November 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I alwasy make a couple of compilation CD's before going on vacation. Some of my favorites are Sublime and Bob Marley. They always put me in a relaxed, ready-to-enjoy-myself mood! ~elli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitnyleo Posted November 12, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I've never been to Eastern Or Southern Caribbean. I have plenty of tunes for Western Caribbean, Pacific, Hawaii cruises...but, nothing for south and east of San Juan, PR. Considering my next cruise is 14 days, perhaps I'll just take along my Tom Waits CDs, since I will be, you know, in oblivion town...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieKaufman Posted November 16, 2004 #8 Share Posted November 16, 2004 This isn't a CD, but if you have XM satellite radio, listen to the "Caliente" channel. It is perfect for pre-cruise festivities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitnyleo Posted December 18, 2004 #9 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Came across this site: http://crsmusic.com/index.cfm Most (all?) cd's priced at $20. But, if you need the right music, it might be worth it???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you caught Kracker"s Rescue video....it's cruise related...: http://www.unclekracker.com Is "72 & Sunny" appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemeister8 Posted January 5, 2005 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Kami's Pal, the song you're referring to is Harry Belafonte's "Jamaica Farewell" Fellow cruisers, While we're on the subject. Why do you all take music on a cruise to begin with? When and where do you have time to listen to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitnyleo Posted January 6, 2005 #15 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I just recieved her "best of..." cd....boy, can she sing!....with her African roots, she's perfect for the eastern Caribbean.... http://www.angeliquekidjo.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monalisa67 Posted January 8, 2005 #16 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I'm with you Cruisemeister8. I never have the time for that plus I really enjoy the good live music on board!

Bethcruiser Posted January 21, 2005 #22 Share Posted January 21, 2005 For the caribbian, and to get in the mood the proceeding days at work, I like "music from the chocolate lands", and "music from the coffee lands" Folk music from countries that produce chocolate, and coffee. Includes caribbian islands...Cuba, St Marrten, Brazil, Belize, and Africa. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlydude Posted January 21, 2005 #23 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hope I'm thinking of the right song - oh yeah, I am (gotta love iTunes) He sampled it and made his own song. Was pretty decent in its release time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcruise67 Posted February 4, 2005 #24 Share Posted February 4, 2005 TrSigley, You will really enjoy the onspiration. DW and I have sailed her twice since 1998. She was our first cruise ever, and we had the time of our lives. Anyway...bring along your own compact CD player if you have one. If I remember correctly, they only have a TV and VCR in the room. I don't recollect if they provided the cabins with CD or Tape players. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
