LBS1 Posted March 25, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I am watching the Cruise Inc special on CNBC. God I miss Simon and how fun he makes things!!!

terrymtex01 Posted March 25, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I watched it too and can't wait to hear my first Bing Bong of 2009 this Sunday on the Spirit!:D Hey Ms. Belp... I hope you and Chris have a blast. The Spirit looks so beautiful. Hey.. anything with "bong" involved.. I'm down!! ;) :D Just Kidding!! LOL.. this cracked me up to see you post that. LOL.. You know what I thought would be a good idea and a way for Simon to make some extra cash is to make an alarm clock with his voice saying something like "Bing Bong (the sound the PA system makes) Good morning this is Simon your cruise director..." etc etc... Wouldn't it be nice to wake up to that every morning instead of the horrible alarm clock noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be nice to wake up to that every morning instead of the horrible alarm clock noise. That is a great idea. So soooooothing..........But I would think I was on a cruise and not want to get up because I don't have to if I don't want to!:) Did you all ever see that SNL skit with Chirstopher Walkins. "I need more Cow Bell?" Well I need more BING BONG! Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4cruising Posted March 25, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I loved the whole show...it got me excited to cruise in 11 days, made me crave Cagney's fries, made me miss the Courtyard Villa, and gave me an appreciation to what goes on in the background. I would love to wake up to the BING BONG sound... perfect alarm clock!;) I enjoyed watching Simon and Andy Stuart! It fed my cruise addiction!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jack Daniels Posted March 25, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What is the "bing-bong" sound? Sorry but I'm a NCL newbie. Thanks, DJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWTYD Posted March 25, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's the sound they makes before an announcement on the ship. The attention getter. Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTAggie Posted March 25, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ha, this isn't something I'd thought of before, but now I'm anxious to hear that "bing bong" again! They must use the same sound on Carnival, because I know exactly what you're talking about. 16 days can't go by fast enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackerbys17 Posted March 25, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2009 LOL! That is a good idea. I can record the bing bong sound from the TV (I recorded the show) and make it into a sound file. Then I can put it on my iPhone! I'll see if I can do it and if so, I'l post it somehow. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoneHPH Posted March 25, 2009 #17 Share Posted March 25, 2009 wait a minute! have you all gone mad? do you really want to have the bing bong tone on your alarm clocks at home? (now follow me on this one...) ok fine...you go to bed from a long day at work. you wake up to the bingbong. for a fleeting moment you smile because you wake up to that familiar "i'm on vacation...who cares about work" tone. ...then you fully wake up realizing it's only tuesday!!! yes...please record the bing bong sound. as for the bing bong (minus the bing)...i'll have what the cat is having. mbisson...on what i don't get a drink?

pj-n-bob Posted March 25, 2009 #19 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm so glad everyone else got excited about the bing-bong too during that show. My DH just laughed at me when I said I couldn't wait to hear the bing-bong again. And I want it on my Blackberry too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 cruisers Posted March 25, 2009 #21 Share Posted March 25, 2009 :cool:OMG this is one of my favorite threads EVER! Our son watched the show with us (my husband and I were on the Pearl while they were filming in Nov.) and mentioned how cool it was to hear "the sound" again!!! He was on the Jade in June. Pavlov's Dog says it all!!!!!! Back in the 70's there was a cruise-line called Royal Viking Line. When you sailed on their "RVL Star" there was a song they would play as you sailed away from every port. We have often wondered why cruise lines don't do that anymore. Believe me, your heart would melt when you heard the song!!!!! They sold a record of the song....Speaking of revenue????!!!!! Hope NCL is "listening!"
