aus1235 Posted Monday at 08:13 AM #1 Share Posted Monday at 08:13 AM Good Evening all, I was 50/50 either to post here or on the Princess Cruises Area. I wondering if anyone has been on Princess Cruises sailing out of Sydney, Does the Love Boat Theme Horn is played as it leave Sydney where do they do it if they do use it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted Monday at 08:32 AM #2 Share Posted Monday at 08:32 AM Firstly they aren't allowed to play it when leaving Sydney now, people who live near the terminal complained. I'm not sure where they do use it these days. Only the Royal Class ships, usually Royal Princess and Majestic Princess here, have the tonal horns to play it. Older ships like Diamond Princess and Crown Princess don't have that type of horn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite surprised as I also didn’t think they were allowed. He also played at a lot of Ports on our way to Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted Monday at 10:03 PM #4 Share Posted Monday at 10:03 PM They aren't allowed to make a noise departing White Bay, but I am not aware of specific restrictions at OPT, at least for daylight departures. The tune is not as loud as the usual foghorns. We have heard the Love Boat whistle being played during departures from Sydney and Brisbane. As mentioned, it is only the newer ships that have it - as for Sydney, it will only be Royal Princess this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Majestic, you have to listen hard to hear it on the promenade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeckli Posted Tuesday at 04:12 AM #7 Share Posted Tuesday at 04:12 AM Just checked my videos from Majestic in December 2023 and it was played as we turned our back on the Harbour Bridge and again shortly before going through the heads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that loud sailaway music is banned until the ship has passed the Opera House at least when leaving from the OPT. I'm surprised Royal was allowed to play its horn there. It does sound wonderful though, especially in places like Kotor where it echoes back from the surrounding mountains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colourbird Posted Tuesday at 10:55 AM #9 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:55 AM I was at my niece's wedding in November 2022 in the Botanical Gardens when Majestic Princess departed and played the love boat theme as she sailed past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy01 Posted Wednesday at 02:00 AM #10 Share Posted Wednesday at 02:00 AM It was played on Majestic Princess as we left the OPT in March 2024. As its a busy shipping area I'm pretty sure the have use their horns as warning to other vessels they are moving off so they may as well use the Love Boat Theme but its up to the Captain which horns they use.
