To prepare for an upcoming trip on Allure of the Seas next month, I am going to make a playlist of music that gets me (even more) excited about cruising.

 

What song(s) would be on your playlist?

"Big Ship Sailin' On the Ocean"

 

We have it on the Caribbean Four cd we bought on our first cruise in 1998. They were the Caribbean band on the ship and were so good we bought 2 cd's. But I play that tune everytime we head for the cruise. It's perfect. You can hear it on Youtube.

 

Also "Tin Cup Chalice" by Jimmy Buffet.

Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles!

 

During my first cruise on Allure, Bee Movie was playing A LOT and I happened to always turn on when the song was playing. When I got home I heard The Beatles version and now, every time I hear it, it reminds me of cruising!

Spot on with all the Zac Brown fans. You nailed all those.

Here are a couple more;

Its Five O'Clock Somewhere (Alan Jackson w/Buffet)

Water (Paisley)

Here for A Good Time (Strait)

Beer In Mexico (Chesney)...for those doing Western :-)

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem (Chesney)

Send Me On My Way (Rusted Root)

Free/Into the Mystic (Zac Brown from Live Album Pass the Jar)

Jump Right In (Zac Brown)

 

That's my short list :-) Enjoy!

On one of our cruises we did a gift exchange at the M&M. One of the things we got in our package was a cd of cruise music. They put it together, had nice label on it. A very nice gift and a good idea for others.

 

Another song I just thought of is Red, Red Wine, by UB40. Just sounds tropical to me.

Beyond the Sea always reminds of cruising. After our first cruise that was the song Carnival was using in their commercial so it always brings back cruising memories. Anthing by Jimmy Buffet or Bob Marley is usually on my playlist. I go on youtube and search caribbean music when I get bored on the days leading up the cruise and add whatever I find that I like to iPod for the flight.

.....and I'm on a Boat by The Lonely Island ....warning on the language if you happen to youtube it:D

I second both parts of that. Video here (NOT SAFE FOR WORK - bad language from the very start, and continues throughout the whole song):

 

My playlist (safe for all). None of them (except possibly Enya) have anything to do with cruising or ships, they just help get me into holiday mode :)

 

The Boys Are Back in Town, Thin Lizzy:

Dancing in the Moonlight, Thin Lizzy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llFJ-MwwMck

Orinoco Flow, Enya:

Underworld, Born Slippy:

Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven:

Papa Loves Mambo, Perry Como:

Voodoo Child, Rogue Traders:
