Eric Clapton had a hit with a song TITLED "Cocaine" in 1977. Nothing new there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes find it hard to differentiate 1999 from 2000 and on, and the top acts of the 2000's overlap pretty heavily into the 90's and earlier, but... Foo Fighters (most of their stuff) Pink Train Killers Coldplay (in definite moderation...) Blink-182 Death Cab for Cutie Phish Slipknot (that would be an interesting reaction) Evanescence Paramour Eminem (hard pass for me on Kanye) That I can think of right now. A lot of artists that have been big this century but are more associated with the 20th Century: U2, Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. Not many of those played onboard either. They already play Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Adele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um... Is this a joke, a typo, or a mis-heard title? To be fair, most of the song I think you're referencing is really hard to understand, and the title isn't actually in it.

Cap_D Posted September 7 #60 Share Posted September 7 (edited) I was told by a cruise director that the music loops and in shows don't change after the ship is launched. So, playlists are sort of set and forgot. Hence, why aspects of the experience can seem dated. Fully agree some playlists could use a refresh, even if it's not necessarily current music. But, nothing screams x year like a particular song by Katy Perry, Celine, etc. Too much of that and the vibe becomes nostalgic and not a specific vibe appropriate for a particular venue, time of day, etc The use of DJs and live musicians helps in some places depending on their mandate.

canderson Posted September 7 #61 Share Posted September 7 FWIW: Mandatory loops are probably a function of BMI/ASCAP. Miami would determine the playlist and pay license fees accordingly. They'd want it all nice and predictable aboard. That's not to say that the playlist couldn't do with some improvement, but explains why it seems to be a fleetwide thing, and doesn't vary.

And yes, I’m sure the fees and royalties are the biggest driver. As they are for my season long boycott of NFL Sunday Night Football… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted September 7 #64 Share Posted September 7 Good heavens, the things people notice and complain about. Blows my mind sometimes. I've sailed 81 times on Celebrity, including many back to back cruises, and I never even noticed which songs were playing and definitely didn't care. It's background music not entertainment per se. Now, the production shows not changing in 10+ years, that's another story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course - trust me, the playlist on Apex this past July definitely did not contain Clapton - that would have been fine! I know every word to that song! This is not about being a prude, markeb, "nothing new there" - oh please. You clearly aren't getting my point. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it’s loud, harsh, and unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NMTraveller Posted September 8 #75 Share Posted September 8 (edited) While I don't pay much attention to the elevator music, perhaps Celebrity should consider upping their game. It does not cost them much, Sometimes it is the little things thing sets one apart... When I go to the Waldorf Astoria, they knock the ball out of the park in every inning. Perhaps Celebrity could aspire to be more like them. The differences seem to be in outstanding service and not doing silly things ... The WA bases their pricing upon their reputation.
