Default What is your favorite cruise song?

Looking forward to sitting on my balcony listening to music on my Ipod. Compiling my list now. What are your favorite beach/ party songs?

Ok kind of country but starting with RED SOLO CUP to get me in the mood.

Celtic Thunder - "Ireland's Call" especially whenever we sail into Dublin or other Irish ports.

"Love in Any Language".......


HAL crew sing it at the end of Disembarkation Talk every cruise. CD finishes giving Disembarkation Instructions and loads of crew representing all Departments come out and sing that song. It is replayed on TV and we never leave the ship without watching/hearing it.

Stormy Weather (Billie Holiday), Sinking (The Cure), Into the Ocean (Blue October), I'm So Sick (Flyleaf), Leaky Lifeboat (Sonic Youth).

At sailaway, one cruise ship (I forget which) always used to play "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" (The Animals)

I like any Bob Marley or Jimmy Buffett song while on board. BUT every time I hear "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop it reminds me of cruising.

"Island Girl". I married an island girl (Philippines), but she's never been to some of the islands we are headed to in the Caribbean.

I plan on listening to "Leaving Port" from the Titanic soundtrack during sailaway. Some might think it's tempting fate, but the song is just so stirring: gets me ready for the adventure!

That's such a fun idea

I hope you get to cross them all off your list.
Safe sailing.
