oscarmoraz Posted June 7, 2005 #28 Share Posted June 7, 2005 We were in Port Everglades in Ft Lauderdale aboard HAL's Zuiderdam immediately following Hurricane Jeanne and saw both the Wonder and the Magic in port as Port Canaveral was still closed. One was tied up along the pier and the other was just entering the port from the channel when dueling "Wish upon a Star" started. The one inbound played it, followed by the one at the pier replying with its own horn. Then it was repeated, and repeated once more. It was to say the least quite a sight (err...sound). I have a picture of them on my other computer to capture the moment as it does not occur very often. Ualtim, please post the pic... Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Little Pixie Dust Posted August 18, 2005 #36 Share Posted August 18, 2005 We were on the Magic about 3 weeks ago for the West Coast Cruise. It was wonderful! The horn played quite often. Anytime we left port or passed a ship. Desiree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmoms Posted September 2, 2005 #40 Share Posted September 2, 2005 When we were on the Magic last fall, anytime they sounded the horn, they made an announcement for anyone on the forward upper decks to cover their ears because it was so loud!

kplattzzz Posted September 7, 2005 #41 Share Posted September 7, 2005 My daughter asked at guest services if they could arrange for me to sound the horn on my birthday. It took a few days, but they got back to us and I was able to push the button on Aug. 23! The Captain called it Mickey's Whistle and later gave me a signed certificate. It was awesome!

Iamthesea Posted September 22, 2005 #43 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I sure would like to know how to add this wave file to my computer email notification. Anyone??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Mick Posted September 23, 2005 #44 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I sure would like to know how to add this wave file to my computer email notification. Anyone??? Assuming that you have Windows XP: Open the Control Panel, open Sounds and Audio Devices. Click the Sounds Tab. The bottom box shows all of your event sounds. Scroll down to find the mail sound that you want either Windows or AOL usually. When it's highlighted, click the right arrow button below it to make sure that it's the sound that you want. If it is, then browse to your new ship's whistle sound and select it to add it. Other versions of Windows will be similar. Macs? I have no idea. Warning: as fun as the whistle sound is, it's gets old after the first 200 plays. I know that from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldryder Posted September 23, 2005 #48 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Reference QM2's horn - no, it is not a tune, but is very melodious, and they say it can be heard over 10 miles (read loud!). Michael When QM2 came out on her maiden from Southampton I was living 50ft from the Solent just outside Cowes on the Isle of Wight. She let rip with her horn as she pulled away from the quayside. I kid you not, the ground I stood on vibrated and I heard her. Just as I used to hear QM when she left Southampton when I was a child. Its incredibly loud. The horn on QM was always the loudest and it still is now that its on the QM2. Personally I dread to think what it sounds/feels like when aboard the ship when she lets rip with it. I was over 10 miles from her and it literally vibrated everything!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlcentralchmps03 Posted May 20, 2006 #50 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I would love to know if anyone would mind sending me the .wav file. I am not sure if any of these users post here anymore since this was a while ago. I have cruised Disney three times, and am sailing the Mariner of the Seas tomorrow. I look foward to hearing that horn, as we are docked right next to each other. My email address is cubs03@hotmail.com. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
