Just another quick number for ye all to be merrily humming to...

 

Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly – CC Style!

Deck and cabin, no need for brolly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Tis the season to be jolly,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

Don we now our summer apparel,

Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Cruisin’ in style, with the Royal,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

See the sea spreading out around us,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Cruise director has joined the chorus.

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

Follow me in merry measure,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

While I tell of Yule tide treasure,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

Keep to hand your seacard passes,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Hail the cruise, ye lads and lasses,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

 

Cruise we joyous, all together,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Heedless of the wind and weather,

Fa la la la la, la la la la.
