muse_clio Posted June 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2005 An office mate told me today that at every port, on the ship during the day, or just about any time, the Princess ships' speakers "blare out" the Love Boat theme. :eek: is that true?

muse_clio Posted June 30, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted June 30, 2005 These guys are big Princess cruisers, so i believed them. And since we have a speaker on our balcony (C752), this was definitely a concern. thanks guys. i do believe exlax will find its way into some coffee cups tomorrow:cool: And I'll be doing the peptobismol dance AT them....

susancruzs Posted June 30, 2005 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I remember hearing it in 1986 on my Royal Princess cruise for Sailaway but not since then. I sailed the little Island Princess, transpacific in 1992 leaving from Honolulu and they did not play it and we actually thought they would!

Cruisin' Chick Posted June 30, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The only time I heard the Love Boat theme on a cruise was while playing TV theme song trivia on a Carnival cruise in 1994. The bonus question.... And many people didn't recognize it. BTW, we tried for first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myangel Posted June 30, 2005 #10 Share Posted June 30, 2005 On the Grand Princess in 2001, cruising the Eastern Caribbean, They played the Love Boat theme during sail away and also they played Celebration by Kool and the Gang. I LOVED it, it really got you into the cruising mood!!! Sorry they don;t play that during sail away anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RvrCrzr Posted June 30, 2005 #13 Share Posted June 30, 2005 They played it over the PA while leaving one port on OCEAN PRINCESS. I heard the pool band playing it once too. I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted June 30, 2005 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The last time I recall hearing the Love Boat Theme was on Pacific Princess (old - the original Love Boat), sailing from Honolulu, Feb 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopher's girl Posted June 30, 2005 #15 Share Posted June 30, 2005 The Sugar Cane Duo (steel drum band from Trinidad and Tobago) plays the Love Boat theme every day at the pool. They were on my cruise on the Diamond in January. They sell CDs with it - I listen to it all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinChris Posted June 30, 2005 #16 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Sugar Cane is one of the better pool bands. Last time I heard the Love Boat theme at sailaway was 9/96 on the old Star Princess in Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGR01 Posted June 30, 2005 #19 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I still hum/sing it to myself when pulling out of any port on any Princess ship. Sorry .. I still enjoy the 'fantasy'. The thing I enjoyed on the old Island Princess was the bar that I wanted Isacc to be tending at .. think it had the same name as the bar on the show! Tho we had a far better Julie!

VegasK Posted June 30, 2005 #20 Share Posted June 30, 2005 We sail Saturday on the Diamond Princess, and I keep humming the "theme to love boat". I grew up watching that show, and never actually imagined I would go on a cruise (This is my first). I keep expecting to see Isaac at the bar. I know, he won't be there!

cruiseryyc Posted June 30, 2005 #21 Share Posted June 30, 2005 They used to play it while leaving every port and it became very annoying. On my last few cruises I haven't heard it al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefootin' Posted July 1, 2005 #24 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The song may be annoying to some folks, but it remains a very popular tune in many circles. Try pricing a used 45 rpm version of the Love Boat Theme by Jack Jones on eBay, if and when you can find it. That single fetches a nice price. Princess should not abandon the very song that brought them to the big dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted July 1, 2005 #25 Share Posted July 1, 2005 On second thought, they sometimes play The Love Boat Theme in the theatre, the night the CD introduces the Captain and his staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
