Your favorite "sail away" song

[CruiseTobey]

"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" - George Thorogood :D

[Freedom55]

From my days of sailing on Windjammer Barefoot Cruises the sail away song would be Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. Very moving hearing that song while they hoisted the sails.

 

Its hard to beat that one!

Brandy by Looking Glass

[Freedom55]

“Good Feeling” by FloRida

[lakelorain]

Come Sail Away - Styx

 

I second that. It's my ringtone on my phone. Always makes me happy.

Island Aphrodisiac.

 

It is an instrumental tune by the Rippingtons that has a neat steel band beat. Best listen to with a drink in hand on a top deck with a light breeze and friends. :)

 

I also like It's Five O'clock Somewhere by Alan Jackson

It has been years ago that we were on Crystal but loved their sail away song "Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. Is that still what they do?

The Disney Horns. I love when different ships salute each other with their horns.

 

 

 

Most cruises now play some music for sail away. What is your ideal song that you would like to hear as you sail from the pier or the port?

[Sequim88]

"Song of the Seas" by Vangelis from his Oceanic album.

Anything sung by David Peel

My ultimate is, "Hot Hot Hot", but I love many....."Kokomo", "The Love Boat Theme", especially if I'm sailing Princess. "Come Sail Away", "Sea Cruise" just to name a few :-)

Get this party started- Pink

 

Absolutely! I usually start singing this song (at least, to myself) after we've landed at the airport and are on our way to the port. :D:D

[UtterCaro]

Jimmy Buffett's "Boat Drinks" with my first sailaway mojito. Bliss!

I first heard "Hot, Hot, Hot" on one of my early cruises, and whenever I play it at home I can close my eyes and picture myself back on board, on the sun deck during sail away with the band playing on the pool deck, a fruity foo-foo drink in hand, surrounded by people in party-mode and enjoying the view of the shore slipping away.

the sound of the waves hitting the bow. I avoid the lido deck pool area where the LOUD plays. I am on the ship for the water and relaxation not to get my ear drums blasted.

My favourite is "time to say goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman, as we glided past St Marks Square on Venice lagoon.

Ah -- I associate that one with the dancing fountains at the Bellagio in Vegas.

Great post -- fun ideas, too.

(but just the chorus, really)

[SailBadtheSinner]

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot

[Flatbush Flyer]

'Hot, Hot, Hot'

 

 

 

Makes me want to dance.

 

 

Only if it's the original by "Arrow" and not the "Buster Poindexter" wannabe.

 

What would be really near would be to hear would be "I put a spell on you" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
