fa-li Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 I've been downloading some playlists for our next cruise, and it made me wonder - what songs make you feel like you are definitely on vacation? For example, on the way to the airport to leave for a cruise, we always play (and sing, badly) Where the Boat Leaves From by Zac Brown Band. And of course, just about any Jimmy Buffet song counts as cruise music. What will you be tapping your toes to on your next cruise?

Pattycruise Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I've never considered making a playlist, but that's also "not my thing". I do have songs that remind me of cruises though and if I hear them on the radio-YEAH! To me the best playlist is one you play for yourself and not for anyone sitting around you or for your neighbor through the walls. It's tiring to be sitting at CoCoCay and having to listen to music from 4 rows behind you. One time a family left their speaker playing while they went in the water or elsewhere......about 30 minutes in I realized they were nowhere to be found and got up and turned it off. I've seen people with their speakers playing music on the ship too. Imagine if we all did this?! UGH PeloAl, teddy and AandD 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddy Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I don’t play any of my own music while onboard, but I listen to stuff I’ve downloaded while traveling to and from the ports. I’m of the age and environment where my musical tastes run a little “heavier” if you will. bonzo1975, fa-li and DoomSlayer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be great to have them perform onboard sometime? Glad you liked it. They have almost 30 years of amazing music. Some funny. Some more serious. Funny you should mention that it would be nice to see them on board. That's exactly how we (my brothers and I) discovered them. They were on the first two Barenaked Ladies cruises. They have done the Rock Boat several times since then. A great unknown live band. Never spent more than $40 to see them. Usually $20. Sometimes free. Seriously, a great band. fa-li 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many bands that are well known, and many bands with a huge concert following. This band is so great, and they normally play small venues. Not expensive. Great musicians. Let me ask you this: Do you know any band that comes out after the show to talk to their fans, sign anything, and take photos until the last fan has gone? This band does. Every time I've seen them.

Alfafinyb Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 My go-to cruise playlist includes a mix of beachy vibes and feel-good tunes. Can't go wrong with a bit of Bob Marley, The Beach Boys, and make a dash of "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" for good measure. Recently, I've been inspired to create a couple of chill tracks perfect for sailing. You can find them on Spotify, and it's awesome to see them getting some love! Also, shoutout to https://songlifty.com/ – been using their services to boost engagement, and it's been super handy. Hope my tunes add to the cruise soundtrack for many more of you!
