valenpoo32 Posted March 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2017 My husband and I are going on a cruise this May to the Mexican Riviera. This is the first time (after 7 cruises) we've had music downloadable and a portable speaker to bring with us. Looking for good songs and artists to download for a "cruise playlist" to listen to in our room and on our balcony (at an appropriate volume ;)). And as much as I'd like to take my husbands advice of all Jimmy Buffet all the time, I think we need a little more variety. We enjoy most genres. Thanks!!!

(Ok, that last one isn't exactly talking about an actual cruise, but still. Lol Yes! Thank you, I need Kokomo! I just downloaded "Toes" today that's what made me think about a cruise playlist. I've never heard "Cruisin'" but going to listen (and probably download) now, gotta love Coolio :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he likes Jimmy, give Kenny Chesney's "Life on a Rock" album a listen. I think it has an islands/tropics vibe. Clearly you need some Bob Marley on the list. I'd suggest the remastered "Legend" album. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
