Brisbane41 Posted December 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Kind of a silly question but there is a back story to it. What music as in songs from any band, artist does Celebrity Cruises tend to stick to on their ships that if you heard these songs on the radio you would instantly think of Celebrity Cruises. The reason I am asking this is because I have a bit of free time this holiday season to finally make some videos of all my past cruises including on Celebrity Solstice. I just want to ass some background music that is reminiscent of what I would hear on the cruise ship. Basically I just use adobe premiere pro to add all my HD video and photos of my cruise and make a short movie out of it that plays in the background on the television.

stratixman Posted December 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Based on reading this forum lately I would say the theme from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wales4ever Posted December 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Something with tills ringing in the background and a video of Celebrity accountants counting money...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted December 28, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) When Celebrity was in its prime modern luxury mode, the theme song on its ships, phone hold and elsewhere was Over the Rainbow, by Iz. (?) Just about everyone enyoyed it...we miss it. Some genius awhile ago decided to no longer use it...but nothing else has stuck around so far! For poolside parties and live music...the Dollar Song was on many playlists. Now it would be the loud DJ and drum banger or the saxaphonist...(not in a good way!)

islandgirlejfan Posted December 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I think of David Bowie *Fame* because that was one of the songs they used on their commercial here in the states years back....although wales4ever suggestion conjured the thought of Pink Floyd's song *Money*!:rolleyes::eek::p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody14h Posted December 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I think that whatever theme music is chosen it would be LOUD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserhal Posted December 28, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't know the exact title of the song but it contains "End of the World as we know it". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted December 28, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 28, 2015 There are a few special songs we play on our Bose every cruise....'sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy' perhaps being our theme tune. I hope you enjoy your cruise editing! Every time we put on old cruise recordings we seem to get carried away in a world of 'do you remember when.....?' We rarely complete a final product but it is nice to remember.... Really nice idea for a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted December 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) I'm going old school... Pretty much anything by 2 Live Crew. They seem to play the Electric Slide on every Celebrity cruise. or perhaps... Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses.:rolleyes: Dean Martin - Memories Are Made Of This Edited December 28, 2015 by neverbeenhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyfssw Posted December 28, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I would vote for "Over the Rainbow" or "Celebrate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChucktownSteve Posted December 28, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I don't know the exact title of the song but it contains "End of the World as we know it". :) HA! BTW that IS the title of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them playing the below song on every trip years ago, it was played at the pool area as the ship departed every port. Vangeliis Conquest of Paradise. Here's a reference to it in a thread from 2005, I know it was played in the 90s. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=249538&highlight=vangelis+conquest+of+paradise Edited December 29, 2015 by dkjretired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverbeenhere Posted December 29, 2015 #16 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Since you might not have liked my other choices. I am pretty sure you should pick any song the includes "The Edge" on guitar. This would keep you up with the future of Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted December 29, 2015 #17 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Because I generally really enjoy cruises on Celebrity, I would choose Pharell's song "Happy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richsea Posted December 29, 2015 #20 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) They used to have Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" as their theme song. Prehaps now it should be "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (Aqua Blues), or maybe "Those Were the Days" Edited December 29, 2015 by richsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cle-guy Posted December 29, 2015 #23 Share Posted December 29, 2015 For me the song Sweet Nothing by Calvin Harris featuring Florence Welch takes me back to my first cruise on Connie in February 2013. The DJ played it a lot at Martini Bar, and they had percussion instruments handy and guests were free to get in on the act. It was very fun and memorable. Alternately, Daft Punk's Get Lucky :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have led the singing of Sea Cruise at the Cruise Critic gathering on over 20 cruises. I often get the cruise director, staff officers, and sometimes the Captain himself to join in.
