Gimer Posted December 23, 2019 #27 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Was on Majestic for it's Maiden Voyage from Singapore to Shanghai and it was played on our 9 Ports of Call. As we sail away, cheers were heard from the Pier and onboard the ship. The ship's Second Watch Officer Grant was responsible to play it three times and he said he had a blast, every time he did it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierlesscruisers Posted December 23, 2019 #32 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The only port that I know of where Princess is actually prohibited prohibited from playing The Love Boat is Seattle. Apparently some people who used to live up on the hills overlooking Pier 91 (and maybe still do, I don't know) where Princess docks didn't like hearing the song and talked the city council or port agency or someone into prohibiting such playing by arriving or departing ships. There may very well be other such cities to do it also, I don't know of any though. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted December 23, 2019 #33 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I just got off the Pacific Princess yesterday, and in an interview a few days before that, the question came up to Captain Goran. He stated that the Pacific Princess does not have the capability to play that theme, or any other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted December 23, 2019 #34 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I was on the December 14 sailing of sky and heard they didn't blast the love boat on our way out of port because of the boat parade but they did it the rest of the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted December 23, 2019 #35 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I was on the Sky for the 12/1 and the 12/4 sailings and they played it. I have a few videos of the horn. I absolutely love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the Disney ships used to play "When You Wish Upon a Star" when leaving Port Canaveral. Our friends have a condo very near the Jetty where the ships come out and apparently many residents complained and Disney had to stop playing it too. Our friends weren't part of that group - they enjoyed hearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted December 23, 2019 #38 Share Posted December 23, 2019 We had 1 port in Spain that I remember, I think Cadiz that the Captain said prohibited the use of the ships horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare foodsvcmgr Posted December 23, 2019 #40 Share Posted December 23, 2019 There are some ports that prohibit the use of even the regular horn when departing, nothing new there. Seems kind of silly to buy a condo next to a deep water port and then complain about ship’s horns though....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Paula_MacFan Posted December 24, 2019 #43 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Last year on the Regal New England cruise we sailed past a fancy outdoor wedding while leaving Newport, and the captain played the whole song as we went by. It was a beautiful evening, right at sunset. Fond memory! Everyone on board seemed to enjoy it that we noticed. I assume the wedding party asked them to play it as we went by? Either way they seemed happy about it 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblane Posted December 24, 2019 #44 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Heard one of the Disney ships play"'When you wish upon a star" this weekend. And I love the love boat theme. Regal played it just once as they left. I'm addicted to watching sail aways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just did normal horn. I noticed the same thing in Vancouver in May one of the ships in port did not blow the theme. I guess they have stopped doing this? Gosh I enjoyed hearing it. There are ports that have rules in place restricting the Horn use. I think Toulon is one of these. When the Royal first visited in 2013, the city council was on a fire boat with all the sprays going requesting the captain to play it again. I heard recently that the port now has new rules against it. 2013 is first hand info, new rules are hearsay. Does anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Majestic in the Med, before it went to Asia. The Love Boat horn was played twice on our departure from Kotor. Once close to town, and once again further out in the fjord.
