triple7tahoe Posted March 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I also received this announcement from Princess and could not be more excited. I have loved Sound of Music for the 50 years it has been out. Funny thing, if I read this correctly, it is claimed that the movie will be played ..."on all 2015 cruises". We just returned (Sunday) from a cruise aboard the Emerald and there was not a playing of the movie-You can be sure I would have noticed it!!!!-So I guess they really meant on all future 2015 cruises?? I will find out in the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pop choir bit should be interesting, since most of the songs (the ones that are standards, anyway) lend themselves well for that sort of thing. South Pacific wouldn't work as well.

kcarrots1 Posted March 10, 2015 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2015 entered the contest, hope to win! Hope they have the choir on the trans-atlantic crossing in April, will most certainly join. Looking forward to the Sound of Music trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wehwalt Posted March 10, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Looking forward to the Sound of Music trivia. Ditto. But how many questions can they really ask and how long before it's "heard that one before". Edited March 10, 2015 by Wehwalt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyosma Posted March 10, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I can't swear to it, but I think The Sound of Music was available in the movies on the tv when I was on the Regal in January. It wasn't on Mutts. I love the movie, but maybe not for me every cruise on Mutts. Once would be enough. I just realized I only have 2 cruises left in 2015, so I guess it's ok. But during my Thanksgiving cruise between the football games and this movie, not much time for other movies on Mutts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribill Posted March 10, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I We just returned (Sunday) from a cruise aboard the Emerald and there was not a playing of the movie-You can be sure I would have noticed it!!!!-So I guess they really meant on all future 2015 cruises?? I will find out in the next couple of months. Contest started in January, so it sounds as if they would have the movie on all 2015 cruises like the announcement said. Of course, not sure why they announce the contest in March if it did start in January. The pop choir bit should be interesting If nothing else, it finally brings different songs to what the pop choir performs. As far as I know, "Sweet Caroline" is not the "The Sound of Music."

The pop choir bit should be interesting, since most of the songs (the ones that are standards, anyway) lend themselves well for that sort of thing. South Pacific wouldn't work as well. This is a complete hijack, but I'll tell the story anyway. I went to a school that had only recently gone coed. I sang in the school choir. For a reunion weekend, they invited all the choir members through the years back to campus and each decade was assigned a song. That's right: my decade got "There Is Nothing Like A Dame." Because apparently it hadn't occurred to anyone that in the final years of that decade, there actually were dames right there in the choir. Nonetheless, we few sopranos enjoyed singing it very much. It's a total show-stopper and such fun to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Gosse Posted March 11, 2015 #24 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I am so excited about this. I just bought the remastered box set last year and I love it. I have been watching it for 25 years and can't get enough! I'm so excited about the idea of seeing it, doing trivia and sing along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
