robthens Posted September 20, 2017 #51 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Can't believe no one picked"The Love Boat"... :) I was just about to say that. We sailed on the original Love Boat. I miss the orchestra playing it at every opportunity. 2nd pick is "Hot, Hot, Hot" 3rd pick is "Sweet Caroline" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted September 21, 2017 #52 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Here's one for us "Old timers" out there. Though it's very unlikely you'll hear it on the radio, I just ran across a wonderful old one that I had once downloaded for my parents: My dad was a singer, and I remember him singing it to me when I was a little girl. "Far away places, with strange sounding names,..... Far away over the sea, Those far away places, with the strange sounding names, Are calling, calling me." Beautiful tune by Perry Como, in the late 40's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted September 21, 2017 #53 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I was just about to say that. We sailed on the original Love Boat. I miss the orchestra playing it at every opportunity. 2nd pick is "Hot, Hot, Hot" 3rd pick is "Sweet Caroline" I too sailed on the original Pacific Princess....and yes, they played it at the opening of every evening's show. Princess exploited the song in their media advertising for many years, as well, but then, for a long time, they seemed to completely ignore the tune (perhaps they did not renew their license to use it?) But now, their ships horn's play the opening bars to it, as they sail away...kind of an answer to Disney ship horns playing "When You Wish Upon A Star"...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly73 Posted September 21, 2017 #54 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Kenny Chesney Somewhere in the sun. Not specific to cruising but makes me think about cruising. Thinking of Jost Van Dyke often right now.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvetwater Posted September 24, 2017 #58 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Rock the Boat - Hues Corporation It came on a TV show after we booked our first cruise and I kept humming it leading up to it. My husband played it when we first got to our cabin on that voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted September 24, 2017 #59 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The morning TV show on Queen Mary 2 uses (or used) " " by Bill Withers as its theme song so that always brings me back to the ship. But when I first get onboard I start singing " ." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burghman1969 Posted September 25, 2017 #60 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Any of Zac Brown Band's island influenced songs, my favorite is probably "Jump Right In" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimsy88 Posted September 25, 2017 #61 Share Posted September 25, 2017 "You're My Best Friend" by Queen. Carnival used it in an ad campaign in 2012 and it stuck! Everytime I hear it, I end up looking up potential cruises! "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" is a close second. Zac Brown's "Knee Deep" is right there too. And my husband hates the song, but "Cake by the Ocean" is definitely a fun one! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
