The Burning River Ramblers - See Ya Soon

[RWA Cruisers]

This is a great thread! I was going to start one with this subject, but I'm glad that I searched and found this one first. Since it's been awhile since this was started, I'm wondering if anyone has any newer suggestions. Here are a few that come to mind for me-

 

Booze Cruise - Blackjack Billy (love this song!)

Easy - Sheryl Crow

Cruise - Florida Georgia Line

 

These just happen to be three current songs that I really like, I'm sure there are plenty more our there that I haven't thought of. (Oh and no we don't only listen to country music lol)

[blondie1746]

Good idea to freshen up this list! If you are cruising to Jamaica, you gotta have some Bob Marley, like "Jammin". Maybe some Beach Boys, too. And Jimmy Buffet - "Margaritaville"

[Canugess]

We are sailing. .. Rod Stewart. .:cool:

This is a great thread!

 

I found this PDF while googling. It appears to come from cruise critic.

Thought this was a great thread with some awesome suggestions. I'm gonna be busy on I-tunes later, but the one song that comes to mind that no one listed was Michael Franti and the Spearheads' "The Sound of Sunshine". Yea Mon!! :cool:

[cruiselife4me]

Great suggestions but for me it's reggae!

[Creepella]

Am I the only one who thinks "Home for a Rest" is a vacation song?

[Mistralle]

The Living Sea - Sting

[zoof26]

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

[zoof26]

Lime in the Coconut - Harry Nilsson

[max996]

Thought I'd revive this thread and add:

 

"Miami" - Will Smith

"24K Magic" - Bruno Mars

"Uptown Funk" - Bruno Mars

If I can be forgiven for coming late to this party, I'm amazed that nobody has mentioned "Sea Cruise" by Frankie Ford.

A blast from the past!

 

I'll nominate Sailing by Christopher Cross.  

 

Followed by a You Tube performance made during the pandemic by 70 cruise ship headliners called "Sailing".

Time To Say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli is sometimes played over the PA as a ship sails.  I have viewed videos of sailings on MSC  ships that have played this song.  But, I do remember it being played on some ships on which I have sailed.  The rendition of this song with Sarah Brightman:  oh my, I just love it!  

[rincewind]

Maybe I missed them on the list, but these are on my list:

 

Rum - Brothers Osborne

Toes - Zac Brown Band

Where the Boat Leaves From - Zac Brown Band

It Ain't My Fault - Brothers Osborne

[All4Fun.]

Jedi, When you can have a playlist with Stepping wolf, Kenny Rogers and Bing Crosby you are truly a music fan!

[nancy1031]

Tequila- The Champs

[koolZip]

Okay, hear me out...Blaring from the loudspeakers as sailaway commences, the opening theme from "Jonny Quest". It's fun, it's bombastic, it speaks to the adventure of the cruise.

[MdniteDrftr]

My playlist is cruise dependent. Caribbean cruises constitute a more island feel whereas other cruises, I'm just looking for some easy listening stuff. In either case I'm just looking for a good time.

 

Some of my favorites...

 

Chris Janson - Good Vibes

Eric Church - Drink In My Hand

Jake Owen - Drunk On A Boat

Eagles - Take It Easy

Adam Levine - Good Mood

Love that one!  Also "Say Hey (I Love You)" is great for cruising.  I like "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" by Stevie Wonder.  Friends of ours have recently exposed us to Yacht Rock, the streaming services seem to all have a station, and Christopher Cross fits the category. I will see how it works to stream that on my upcoming cruise.
