I just heard Orinoco Flo by Enya on the radio and thought it would be a good holiday tune.

 

Thought i would search for a thread about tunes, and came across this one and decided to revive it :-)

This has been a fun thread for a while now. We made a 17 track CD out of suggestions here plus one of our own. How could Caribbean Amphibian by Kermit the Frog and Jimmy Buffett no be included. :D

I like most of the suggestions but not looking to extend my library just for a cruise. My iTunes already has 24 000 songs! And then podcasts!

 

I expanded the podcasts to the 10 last unheard items and added playlists until I was remarkably close to the 16 GB of the lil box. I have just shy of 2200 songs. A whole playlist is Celtic including song sailing songs. Some good tunes from Great Big Sea and The Fables. I know Orinoco flow is there ... But I am not going anywhere near that river. I have the Bach Sonatas for Unaccompanied Cello. Solo classic guitar. Songs in languages from all over the world. I have Canuck playing Indian ragas on the moohan veenha. He also plays the blues. Oh, some Tom Waits --- You Can Never Hold Back Spring. Some arias and some showtunes. As you might guess this one iPod holds so much I can surprise myself in a day, a week, or month.

 

My music is more for the torturous plane flight than the boat, but it is a mix much like I hear at home.

 

And if you fly, I can not suggest too strongly a set of noise canceling headphone!

 

I like the list, but enjoy YOUR tunes.

So correct me if I missed it but I didn't see the jazz classic- St. Thomas by Sonny Rollins!!! From my days of giggin on the tenor sax!!

Thank you everyone for your ideas. It will take me a lOONNNGG time to put this all together. LOL

[Gypsywoman]

Thank you! I have some great songs now for our upcoming cruise. So many excellent suggestions that I would have never thought of if it were not for this thread.

 

Happy Cruising everyone!

Reviving an old thread that looks like fun . . . I would add "Save the Last Dance For Me" by Michael Buble.

 

Theme from Titanic may be the wrong message for a cruise LOL but how about Il Mio Cuore Va . . . My Heart Goes On in Italian, by Sarah Brightman?

 

If you like that one, her version of "Memory" from Cats in Italian is even better . . . . called "Piano (Memory)"

 

Come Home to the Sea by Manheim Steamroller is another great choice

 

"My Heart is Lost to You" by Brooks and Dunn has a nice Spanish feel.

 

"Alejate" by Josh Groban . . . beautiful Spanish song.

 

Any other songs that have come out since this thread was last updated?

I don't know I was on a cruise when the ships were small with a cinema and they showed perfect storm while we were in the back if a cyclone

 

Titanic theme is ok

 

I like

When I wanted some songs for a party I went to my local library, borrowed some CDs for free then burned onto my own CD the songs I liked. (OK, some truth here. Had my husband do it so don't ask me how its done! All I know is it involves the computer!)

 

How about including some Harry Belafonte?

The library is a great source for music, although it's hit or miss as to what you'll find. You can find thousands of songs out on the newsgroups but as some on CC will be sure to point out, song sharing is a copyright violation.

 

Harry Belafonte is a GREAT suggestion.

 

Spanish Guitar by Toni Braxton is a really nice, romantic Spanish ballad as well.

Zac Brown song I didn't see but may have missed, is, Knee Deep! There are several songs by, Barrington Levy, with a carribean beat and tone! My favorite is She's Mine.

This is a great thread found it by searching for cruise music in search engine and cruise critic my cruise home website! Great Ideas folks! Thanks

[cruising_family]

Love this thread and I've been making my list from all the suggestions. Luckily I had some but hadn't thought of using them.

 

For those that like the steel drum versions of some of the more popular songs associated with cruising, Amazon has some digital albums/singles from the Carnival steel drum band. Maybe they're on iTumes also but I don't use it. I searched in digital music for carnival steel drum and 4 show up under albums.

[Umbrae Noctem]

Khaled - c'est la vie

Marc Anthony - vivir mi vida

Not sure I saw these listed.

 

 

Opps: super grave dig too. :(
