21 Top Cruise Songs to Get You in the Mood for Cruising

Do you have a particular song that plays in your head when you think of cruising? Maybe you even have more than one, like a Cruise Playlist.

I don’t know about you, but as my cruise approaches, I get “prepared” in a couple of ways.

1. The practical

I’m all about the packing lists, shore excursion planning (plus some pre-cruise shopping).

2. The psychological/emotional

I’m serious about this one. I get myself (and my family) in the mood by having a fun attitude and playing some cruise music.

Sometimes I even sing, although not well, so I won’t be entering any cruise karaoke contests.

Favorite Cruise Inspired Songs

It got me thinking, so many cruisers have a cruise playlist of favorite cruise inspired songs. They can be great to listen to before your cruise, as you travel to your cruise ship, or even during times you’re not cruising if you’ve got a little bit of the post-cruise blues .

If you’re creating a cruise vacation video, you may want to use some cruise songs to go along with your fabulous photos, videos and cruise memories.

After scouring the internet and cruise message boards, I’ve put together a cruise playlist. It includes some popular current songs, as well as some cruising classics.  Plus, I’ve included my favorites too!

Top 21 Favorite Cruising Songs

1. cruising together.

By: Huey Lewis and Gweneth Paltrow

This is my very favorite cruise song that I listen to when I’m thinking about cruising (which could be anytime). It’s sweet, it’s romantic, and I love it. Corny and all.

“Music is played for love, cruisin’ is made for love. I love it when we’re cruisin’ together…”

2. The Love Boat

By: Jack Jones

Did you know that there is a long version of The Love Boat Theme Song as well as a short version? Oh, and there’s more than that.

If you look this one up on YouTube, you’ll be able to find many of the show openings, where the guest stars appear. It’s pretty fun to go down memory lane like this.

“The Love Boat, soon will be making another run…”

3. Cupid Shuffle

If you’ve cruised in the last 10-15 years, you’ve definitely heard this one!

The Cupid Shuffle is the ultimate cruise line dancing song at Embarkation Day Sailaway Parties. I have to admit, if I hear it, I’m on the dance floor!

“They got a brand new dance, you’ve got to move your muscle. They’ve got a brand new dance, it’s called the Cupid Shuffle…”

4. Cha Cha Slide

By: Mr. C. The Slide Man

I actually just came off an 11 day Celebrity Cruise, and even danced to this there as part of the sea day pool activities .

For real, I’m not a great dancer and not super coordinated, but I can follow directions ;-).

Sing it with me now “Freeze – everybody clap your hands! ”

5. Come Sail Away

How can you not get wistful when you hear Come Sail Away?

“I look to the sea, reflections in the ways, spark my memories. Some happy, some sad. I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had…”

6. My Heart Will Go On

By: Celine Dion

I have a confession. It took me years to finally see The Titanic. But when I did, it was better than I thought it would be!

That moment, Jack and Rose at the bow of the ship. Chills.

“Near far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on…”

*Bonus Cruise Fact

Did you know that the Titanic movie is integral to the origin story of today’s Cunard Line?

Micky Arison (chairman of Carnival Corporation) was convinced by his daughter, after she saw Titanic, that people wanted and craved the nostalgia of old world cruising.

Take a look at this video below and listen to Micky tell the story better than I can:

7. Margaritaville

By: Jimmy Buffet

If you’ve cruised the Caribbean, you know that Jimmy Buffett IS the Caribbean.

I think of Jimmy Buffet every time I have a frozen cocktail at 11 am on a cruise. Seriously, it’s 5 O’clock somewhere , right?

“Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville, Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt…”

By: The Beach Boys

If you love the beach, crystal clear waters and a good time, I know you love this song!

How many places have you been?

“Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take ya. Bermuda, Bahamas, come on pretty mama…”

9. Soak Up the Sun

By: Sheryl Crow

A light summer song, Soak Up the Sun makes me think of sea days by the pool and gorgeous days on the beach.

Does life get better than that?

“I’m gonna’ soak up the sun, gonna tell everyone to lighten up…”

10. (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay

By: Otis Redding

Oh, I love this. What a classic! “Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away…”

The Dock of the Bay has be remade several times, by several artists, and I love the original by Otis Redding.

However, I thought I’d share one of my favorite versions in video by Playing for Change. It’s interesting to see and hear from different musicians all over the world.

11. Sailing

By: Rod Stewart

Sailing by Rod Stewart is a must-listen for anyone who loves to cruise and sail. It’s a pretty one.

“I am sailing, I am sailing, home again across the sea…”

21 popular cruise songs

12. Under the Sea

By: The Little Mermaid (Walt Disney Records)

This one’s for the kids, (or anyone who feels like a kid sometimes and still loves it).

Plus, there are some wise words… “The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else’s lake…”

13. 3 Little Birds

By: Bob Marley

Close your eyes and imagine the pool band playing…

“Singing don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing’s gonna be all right…”

14. La Isla Bonita

By: Madonna

This is where my “eighties girl” really shows through. I love some old school Madonna including Holiday (right?) and Cherish, but La Isla Bonita seems to be a favorite of many cruise fans.

That beat…

“Tropical the island breeze, all of nature wild and free. This is where I long to be, la Isla Bonita.”

15. Somewhere over the Rainbow

By: Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole

This is a beautiful and version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, with a tropical sound.

Sadly, Israel has passed away, but he’s left his music, voice and hopeful message for us to enjoy.

“Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly. and that the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true…”

16. Escape – The Pina Colada Song

By: Rupert Holmes

This fun song with possibly controversial lyrics is a cheesy favorite of mine.

It got me at “If you like Pina Coladas”. Yup! Anyone else?

17. Sailing

By: Christopher Cross

Imagine sitting at the back of your cruise ship staring into the wake. Doesn’t this song just say it all?

“Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be…” The rest of the song is pure poetry!

18. Voyage Voyage

by: Desireless

This French song just gets me. While it’s not exclusively about cruising, it talks of the adventure of travel and has a fun eighties sound that totally sticks in my head.

If you don’t know it, give it a listen.

“Voyage, voyage. Plus loin que la nuit et le jour…”

Translation: “ Travel, travel. Further than the night and the day…”

19. Sea Cruise

By: Frankie Ford

An oldie but a goodie. Sea Cruise by Frankie topped the charts in 1959!

“Oo-ey, oo-ey, baby, oo-ey, oo-ey baby… won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise.”

20. Toes (in the Water)

By: Zac Brown Band

Here’s one for Country Music fans!

Confession: I have NEVER heard this song before. However, this is definitely a favorite cruise playlist song for many! I’ve got to say, I could get into this!

“Got my toes in the water, a** in the sand. Not a worry in a world of cold beer in my hand. Life is good today.”

21. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems

By: Kenny Chesney

Does this make you think of a relaxed beach day and some time at the beach bar? Sounds like a great vacation day ahead!

“The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand…”

Picture of Orlando Martinez

Orlando Martinez

  • May 2, 2017

If you have recently booked a cruise or plan on booking one, adding dance lessons to your pre-cruise checklist is a must. So why not learn some of these cruise dances before you set sail. To help you out, we’ve added videos of all the dances during the sailaway party. So move the living room coffee table out of the way and get to studying these moves!

7 Trendy Sailaway Party Dances

1. Electric Slide

With being one of the most know line dances, and easiest to perform, there is no reason that anyone should not be out moving and grooving. Once you get it down you can put your own spin on the moves to spice them up.

2. Cupid Shuffle

A twist on the electric slide, this dance only has about four parts to it. Once you get the pattern down its just replay and repeat.

3. The Wobble

This hip hop dance will have you moving your hips a little more. “Get in there” and move from side to side. Let loose and have fun!

4. Cha Cha Slide

This dance will test your listening skills. Directions are given on how to move throughout the song, left to right, hopping, the Charlie Brown, and seeing how low you can go are the highlights on the song.

5. Follow the Leader

Do as the song says and just follow the leader, whether it be in a crowd at the deck parties or in the Congo line. Just keep moving and grooving.

6. Gangnam Style

Noted for being part of the popular farewell dinner of Carnival Cruise ships you can’t help but get up and shake it during the chorus.

7. Shake it Off

[You’re on your own with this one, there isn’t a video uploaded yet!]

A new synced dance that has begun to make its debut across ship decks, Taylor Swift’s, Shake it Off will have you doing “the Carlton” and rocking every direction. It’s a little more complicated to get this one down but once you’ve got it you’re good to go!

With the love for the ever-popular dances and the excitement of newer ones, which ones do you look forward to getting up and moving to the most?

The weather can vary depending on your destination, so it’s crucial to be prepared with the right clothing. In this article, I will guide you through everything you need to pack for your winter cruise adventure.

  • Bring comfortable shoes for exploring, sandals or flip-flops for lounging, and dressier shoes for formal nights.

Consider the Weather Conditions

Before you set sail on your December cruise, it’s essential to consider the weather conditions and plan your wardrobe accordingly.

The weather during this time of year can vary depending on your destination, so it’s important to do some research beforehand. If you’re traveling to a tropical location, you can expect warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Pack lightweight clothing such as sundresses, shorts, and t-shirts for exploring local attractions. However, don’t forget to bring a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings.

In case of unexpected rain showers, it’s always a good idea to have an umbrella or rain poncho on hand. Additionally, planning for indoor activities is crucial in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Now that you’re prepared for any climate changes, let’s move on to researching the cruise ship’s dress code.

Research the Cruise Ship’s Dress Code

In addition, pack a pair of comfortable flip-flops or sandals that are easy to slip on and off. Now, let me introduce you to a handy table that showcases some must-have items for your beach bag:

Remember to apply sunscreen generously before heading out in the sun and reapply throughout the day. With these essentials packed, you’ll be ready for some fun in the sun! Speaking of being prepared, it’s also important to bring comfortable shoes on your cruise adventure.

Bring Comfortable Shoes

Make sure you’ve got your feet covered with a pair of comfy shoes that will keep you feeling great throughout your cruise adventure! When it comes to shoe options, there are a few things to consider.

First, bring a pair of sneakers or walking shoes for exploring the ship and going on excursions. Look for ones with good arch support and cushioning to keep your feet comfortable all day long.

Additionally, pack a pair of sandals or flip-flops for lounging by the pool or walking on the sandy beaches. These will be perfect for those warm sunny days when you want to feel the breeze on your toes.

Don’t forget to bring some dressier shoes for formal nights or special events onboard. Opt for comfortable heels or flats that will elevate your outfit without sacrificing comfort.

Lastly, consider bringing water shoes if you plan on participating in water activities like snorkeling or kayaking. They provide protection and grip in wet environments.

Now, let’s move on to discussing the importance of packing active wear for your cruise adventure!

Don’t Forget Active Wear

To fully enjoy your cruise adventure, don’t forget to pack some comfortable and functional workout clothes. Staying active can be a great way to explore the ship and stay fit during your vacation. Remember to bring your favorite pair of yoga pants, perfect for activities like yoga classes or morning jogs on the deck.

If you plan on going on excursions that involve hiking or walking tours, make sure to pack a sturdy pair of hiking boots for added comfort and support. Being prepared with the right attire will allow you to fully embrace any physical activities that come your way.

Speaking of being prepared, don’t forget to consider formal attire for special events onboard the ship, such as elegant dinners or cocktail parties.

Consider Formal Attire for Special Events

For a touch of elegance, don’t forget to pack some formal attire for those special events onboard the ship. Dressing up for formal events on a cruise adds an extra layer of excitement and sophistication to your vacation. To ensure you’re properly prepared, here are three important things to consider:

By being prepared and dressing appropriately for formal events, you’ll make lasting memories of glamorous evenings at sea.

When it comes to dressing for a celebrity cruise, it’s important to remember that your outfit can speak volumes about your personal style and make a lasting impression on others. Celebrity cruise fashion dos and don’ts should be followed to ensure you look your best.

Opt for stylish and sophisticated outfits that reflect your personality while still being appropriate for the occasion. Finding the right accessories for your outfit is key to complete your look.

Adorn your hair with stylish hair accessories like embellished headbands or sparkly hair clips for a touch of elegance.

Pair your swimwear with a statement handbag that can hold all your essentials while adding a pop of color or a touch of luxury. Opt for a chic straw tote or a metallic clutch to complete your poolside look.

Now that you’ve perfected your poolside style, let’s talk about footwear. Comfortable and fashionable shoes are essential for both onboard and onshore activities. Choose a pair of sandals with cushioned soles and stylish straps to provide both comfort and style. Slip-on sneakers or espadrilles are also great options for exploring the ship and going onshore excursions.

With the right accessories and footwear, you’ll be ready to step into the next section about footwear effortlessly.

Footwear: Comfortable and Fashionable Shoes for Onboard and Onshore

Now that we’ve covered the importance of accessories and jewelry in completing your celebrity cruise outfit, let’s move on to another essential element: footwear.

When it comes to choosing the right shoes for your cruise, comfort is key. You’ll be doing a lot of walking both onboard and onshore, so opt for comfortable sandals that provide support and cushioning. Look for styles with adjustable straps to ensure a perfect fit.

Additionally, stylish sneakers are a great option for casual days or excursions that require more activity. Choose sneakers that aren’t only comfortable but also reflect your personal style.

With the right footwear, you’ll be able to explore the ship and enjoy your onshore adventures in both comfort and style.

Speaking of style, let’s now delve into the world of celebrity-inspired fashion and learn how to emulate the style icons on the ship.

Did you know that 62% of cruise travelers find packing versatile clothing to be necessary for their trips? To ensure you’re on-trend with cruise fashion trends, consider including a few key pieces in your suitcase.

Fashion Etiquette: Tips for Making a Fashionable Statement While Respecting Others’ Styles

Mastering fashion etiquette is crucial for making a stylish impact while sincerely appreciating and respecting the diverse styles of others. When it comes to fashion trends on a celebrity cruise, it’s important to stay updated and incorporate current styles into your wardrobe.

However, it’s equally important to be culturally appropriate and respectful. Celebrating different cultures through fashion is a wonderful way to embrace diversity, but it’s essential to avoid cultural appropriation. This means being mindful of the significance and sacredness of certain cultural symbols and traditions, and not using them as mere fashion statements. Instead, opt for fashion choices that are inspired by different cultures without appropriating them.

By doing so, you can make a fashionable statement while showing respect for others’ styles and cultures.

Are there any specific clothing restrictions for the ship’s gym or fitness center?

Wondering about gym attire? The dress code for the fitness center on a Celebrity cruise is pretty relaxed. As long as you wear appropriate workout clothes, you’re good to go! So, no worries, just focus on your fitness goals onboard.

For theme nights and special events on a Celebrity cruise, it’s important to dress appropriately. Theme night outfits can range from elegant to casual, depending on the theme. Special event attire may vary, so it’s best to check with the cruise line for specific guidelines.

Are there any recommendations for appropriate attire when attending onboard shows or performances?

For attending onboard shows or performances on a Celebrity Cruise, it is recommended to wear appropriate show attire. This may include smart casual or formal attire, depending on the specific event and dress code.

What should I consider when choosing outfits for excursions or shore activities?

When choosing outfits for excursions or shore activities, I consider comfort, versatility, and weather conditions. Excursion outfits should be practical and suitable for outdoor activities, while shore activities outfits can be more casual and relaxed.

Are there any suggestions for what to wear during formal nights if I don’t want to wear a gown or tuxedo?

For alternative formalwear on a celebrity cruise, there are dress code options if you don’t want to wear a gown or tuxedo. Consider wearing a stylish cocktail dress or a sharp suit with a tie.

In conclusion, dressing for a celebrity cruise is all about making a fashionable statement while feeling comfortable and confident. By following the dress code guidelines and understanding the ship’s policies, you can ensure that you’re appropriately dressed for each occasion. Remember to pack your essential items and add the perfect finishing touch with accessories and jewelry.

As you step on board, embrace your inner fashion icon and let your style shine like a dazzling diamond on a velvet pillow.

You are preparing to pack your luggage, eagerly anticipating your voyage on the cruise ship to embark on a journey exploring the seven seas. It promises to be an enjoyable and rejuvenating cruise. Your ultimate goal is to make it a remarkable experience, as chances for similar cruises may be limited in the future.

Music has the ability to transport you to another place. It can help you forget about your worries, take your mind off of things, or even make you feel more energetic and ready to tackle the day (or a cruise!). There’s no better way to get in the cruise vacation mood than with a bunch of great songs. That’s why creating your own awesome cruise playlist is so important.

So, before you set sail, check out our list below of the best songs for your playlist. It includes some old songs, some new songs, and some all-time classic cruise songs to get you inspired.

Our Favorite Songs to Listen on a Cruise Ship

photo 1574736221883 afa74ab9e1dcixlibrb 4.0

Cruisin’

By Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow (2006)

If you’re going on a Mediterranean or Caribbean Cruise with your partner or spouse, this sweet, romantic track is a great addition to any cruise playlist. It could also be inspiring for young single people on the hunt to find true love!

The Love Boat

By Jack Jones (1977)

If you’re fond of show tunes and classic songs, this is the song for you! It was the theme song to the TV series of the same name and has a happy feeling that will appeal to nearly everyone.

My Heart Will Go On

By Celine Dion (1997)

Perhaps the most iconic cruise song of all time, this tear-jerker is sure to melt some hearts. It’s also a great track to slow-dance to.

photo 1532121032426 855c544b816fixlibrb 4.0

By Engelwood (2017)

Many people enjoy cruising to something mostly instrumental, and this is the perfect song to add to your playlist of cruise songs for the more relaxed moments- like sunbathing by the pool.

Watermelon Sugar

By Harry Styles (2019)

When you hear this song, you’re bound to think of the beach immediately. We know we do! It’s perfect for enjoying a slice of watermelon by the ocean.

Best Day Of My Life

By American Authors (2014)

This is a great song to kill the nerves and get you psyched up for the trip ahead! Our expert advice is adding it to the start of your cruise playlist, or listening to it on the flight to your cruise destination.

photo 1604474361016 73d1bd3021faixlibrb 4.0

Come Sail Away

By Styx (1977)

Here’s another old (but gold) track to add to your cruise songs. It’s slow and romantic, and would make an excellent song to listen to at the end of your vacation.

(Sittin’ On) The Dock Of The Bay

By Otis Redding (1982)

This is another classic track that is well worth giving a listen if you don’t know it already. It has been remade many times throughout the years, but we prefer the original. And, we think, so will you!

Margaritaville

By Jimmy Buffett (1977)

If you like a bit of country music, you’re sure to love this song, too. Jimmy Buffett has also become quite synonymous with the Caribbean, and it would be a shame not to add one of his most famous songs to your cruise songs.

photo 1527554642078 cde808d8048dixlibrb 4.0

By Glass Animals (2020)

This song emits a relaxed vibe that’s perfect for having a friendly drink with other cruisers on the ship, or simply spending a lazy day in a sun lounger.

Under The Boardwalk

By Bruce Willis (1987)

Many people don’t know that this famous actor also had a music career under the alias Bruno! This is one of our favorite songs by the Pulp Fiction star, and perfect for listening to while sailing across the ocean.

By The Beach Boys (1988)

No cruise or beach playlist can ever be complete without at least one Beach Boys song. This one, specifically, is cruise-inspired – but any track by this iconic band will do.

photo 1565013111912 483ca5f89783ixlibrb 1.2

By Earth, Wind & Fire (1978)

This song is all about living in the moment, being carefree, and having a good time – an excellent motto to have while going on a cruise.

Three Little Birds

By Bob Marley (1980)

This might be the ultimate feel-good track! It’s also great for listening while you think back on fond memories from your cruise once it’s over.

Beyond The Sea

By Bobby Darin (1959)

What a classic! Whether you add this version or the original 1946 track by Charles Trenet, this is a must-have in any cruise playlist.

photo 1614054145339 4a25fd7673a4ixlibrb 4.0

Soak Up The Sun

By Sheryl Crow (2002)

This is a light, feel-good song that will make you think of warm summer days, cold pools, and sandy beaches.

Under The Sea

By Walt Disney Records from the Original Soundtrack: The Little Mermaid (1989)

If you’re planning on joining a dance class while on your cruise, this is a great song to have in your playlist for when you practice your moves! And, if you’re traveling with kids, this is a track they’ll enjoy.

Escape – The Pina Colada Song

By Rupert Holmes (1979)

Everyone knows the lyrics to this song, even if they don’t know it’s called “Escape”. This is one of those songs you hear in every bar, and there is something about it that makes it memorable. The upbeat tempo and the catchy chorus make this a great addition to your cruise songs playlist.

photo 1586847145307 1ee202251ea2ixlibrb 4.0

La Isla Bonita

By Madonna (1986)

La Isla Bonita is Spanish for “The Beautiful Island”, and the lyrics are all about falling in love on an island paradise. It’s another great song for couples traveling together, or for singles hoping to find someone.

Adventure Of A Lifetime

By Coldplay (2015)

Inspired by disco music, this song is all about feeling good, making it a great song to listen to on a cruise ship. It’s perfect for getting you in the groove while cruising, but also has a great message behind it about helping others feel good, too.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow / What a Wonderful World

By Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole (1990)

Whether it’s because this song was sung by a Hawaiian resident, or has the quintessential island sound you only get by playing the ukulele, no trip to the beach could be complete without relaxing to this track. We especially love this mash-up version, but the original is just as good!

photo 1496134732667 ae8d2853a045ixlibrb 4.0

Voyage Voyage

By Desireless (1989)

While French synth-pop might not be everyone’s cup of tea, this song has beautiful vocals and an inspiring message about the adventure of travel – perfect to include in your cruise playlist before setting sail on your own voyage.

By Christopher Cross (1979)

Add this song to your playlist and listen to it while you’re sitting on the deck, looking out over the peaceful water. You won’t regret it!

By TLC (1994)

While this track has a much deeper meaning than simply having fun on a cruise, it’s undeniable that when you hear it, it makes you feel good. It’s perfect for sipping a cocktail on the deck.

photo 1614690163836 5a20f0bf0ef7ixlibrb 1.2

Toes (In The Water)

By Zac Brown Band (2006)

Here’s another great track for fans of country music! It’s happy and fun, ideal for getting you in the beach mood.

Dancing In The Moonlight

By Toploader (1999)

The title of this one says it all! If you’re out on the deck at night, admiring the stars and lights of the ship with your partner, this track is perfect for dancing together.

No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems

By Kenny Chesney (2002)

Despite being one of the most famous modern country singers, Chesney still managed to make this song feel like a day on the shores of an island paradise. Put this on while you’re getting ready for a shore excursion or beach day.

photo 1549468752 f14d1b018a19ixlibrb 4.0

By Frankie Ford (1959)

This song was top of the charts when it came out, and listening to this classic, we can see why!

Good Feeling

By Flo Rida (2011)

If you’re planning on joining a party while cruising, don’t be surprised if you hear this one playing. It’s a fun dance track that remixes the excellent vocals of Christina Aguilera in the best way.

Two Pina Coladas

By Bles Bridges (1999)

If you’re looking for a slow, romantic cruise song, this country music track is perfect.

photo 1516370873344 fb7c61054fa9ixlibrb 4.0

Ily (I Love You, Baby)

By Surf Mesa & Emilee (2020)

Even if you usually prefer the original versions of songs, there’s no denying that this is a great cover to put on while cruising or spending a fun day by the ocean.

Cheerleader

By OMI & Felix Jaehn (2014)

This is an awesome dance remix of an already great track by the Jamaican artist. It’s another club favorite, bound to get you up off your feet. We can’t resist a good saxophone solo!

California Dreamin’

By The Mamas & The Papas (1965)

This is an ideal song for daydreaming about your upcoming cruise, or for the bittersweet feeling that comes with thinking back fondly to all your best cruise memories. Either way, it’s a cruise songs playlist must-have.

photo 1581610489912 81b6f687972dixlibrb 4.0

Island in The Sun

By Weezer (2001)

This is an unusually laid-back track by the U.S Alternative Rock band, making it perfect for listening while on your way to an island paradise or relaxing in the sunshine.

The Banana Boat Song

By Harry Belafonte (1956)

If you’ve ever watched Beetlejuice, you may remember this track. It was also favored improvisational riff by Freddie Mercury, and it’s a fun call-and-answer song to sing along to.

It’s Five O’clock Somewhere

By Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffett (2003)

If you’re looking for an excuse to indulge in a cocktail a little too early in the day, why not switch on this song while you treat yourself to something tall and cold? We won’t tell anyone!

photo 1662553392565 e98d7458d0baixlibrb 4.0

Red, Red Wine

By UB40 (1983)

This is another great song for having a drink, especially if you’re a wine lover. It’s bound to lift your mood instantly.

Orinoco Flow

By Enya (1988)

If you’re looking for the perfect track while you set sail and embark on the journey of a lifetime, this is it! Who doesn’t love a good Enya track?

By OneRepublic (2022)

We all want some good vibes and a little bit of sun in our lives, and this is a great track to get you in the vacation mood before your trip.

Brown Eyed Girl

Van Morrison (1967)

This is a personal favorite of ours! Maybe you’re single and hoping to meet a beautiful brown-eyed stranger while on your cruise, or you’ve already found your brown-eyed soulmate. Either way, this is a really fun song to dance to.

  • Carnival Cruise Lines

What is the name of the song they use for line dancing during sail off

gam888

By gam888 , December 3, 2011 in Carnival Cruise Lines

Recommended Posts

1,000+ Club

Don't know who else to ask, but there is this music with a male vocal that Carnival always play during their sail off party on deck, and Royal Caribbean used the same song during one occasion as well. People would do some line dancing kind of formation to the song.(Definitely not country and western, it's more hip). Just wondering where do you learn the steps to dance to that music, people seem like they have a lot of practise when they are on deck, any ideas?

Could it be Cupid shuffle - Cupid. I always hear that song on cruises.

Thanks jeliissa, that's the one. I looked up Cupid shuffle on You Tube and indeed that's the song. Now I can learn the moves! Haha! Don't think I will dance in front of everyone but at least now I know what to do!

tamirpr

Is it the Cha Cha Slide?

They play this incessantly. It's easy to follow if you understand the words. It says, "One hop this time" or "Slide to the left" or "Criss Cross".

Check out youtube for line dances.

Thanks tamirpr, You are right as well. The Cha Cha Slide is the song they play on the Carnival sail off party, the Cupid shuffle is the song they play on the Royal Caribbean farewell party. The Cha Cha Slide seems a bit more complicated. More moves!!!

azrayne

to the right, to the right, to the right, to the right, to the left , to the left, to the left, to the left, now kick(right), & kick (left), & kick (right), & kick (left), now walk out, now walk it out, now walk it out, now walk it out.....repeat Over and Over again......

oh that's the cupid shuffle!

notme1955

Carnival plays Cupid Shuffle, too. We do it every cruise at sailaway! Even DH, who does NOT dance, will do the shuffle with me! It's really simple to learn. If you can count to 4 and know your left from your right, you can do that dance!

We are going on the Freedom in January, I have a month to practice both of them, will be busy searching them up on You Tube to look at the moves!!!

MIZZ_K

Carnival plays both songs during the sailaway party, at least they did last year and this year when I sailed on The Victory.

dont forget to do the "charlie brown" lol I loved watching my 20yr old daughter and her friend doing the cupid shuffle our last cruise they had a blast, I believe they did it during the deck party

Tapi

When we sailed out of Mobile (RIP), the line dance of choice was Sweet Home Alabama. Ha!

CrimsonQueen

CrimsonQueen

LOVE that song!! :D:p

Make sure you practice the Wobble too, they have been doing it at the deck party. :)

kingoftheicedragons

Never even heard of the Cupid Shuffle, haven't heard it on any cruise we've been on.

The Cha Cha Slide used to be done all the time.......it was even almost an unofficial theme song--it was blaring from the ship at Port Canaveral as people were lined up to board.

That said, I didn't hear the Cha Cha Slide at all for our last two cruises.

I LOVE THE WOBBLE...I really hope we have an opportunity to do the WOBBLE:D

Ok here is a step by step video of the Cupid Suffle.... even I could learn this one!!!

I know how to count and know my left from my right but boy can I screw it up and thats before the DOD:)

Last Saturday I watched several cruise ships leaving Port Everglades on the webcam( http://www.portevergladeswebcam.com ). Several Princess and HAL ships as well as a few RCI passed in stark silence. Then came the Carnival Freedom with the cupid shuffle blaring from the lido deck. I could see people dancing up there. I thought to myself, I know which ship I'd rather be on. Carnival really did have the fun!

It seems they always do the Electric Slide on the Carnival cruises I have been on.

GlendaleCruiser

Suddenly I feel compelled to go to utube and check out those songs!

Well, I looked at all three of them and the Cupid shuffle looks the most fun to me!:D

I haven't heard the Wobble on any cruise ship before. I checked it out on You Tube so now I know what it is. I like the Cha Cha Slide the most.

Two weeks ago on the Sensation we did the Cupid Shuffle, Wobble Wobble, Bus Stop, Electric Slide, Cha Cha Slide, and Follow the Leader. I am looking for them to do Chinese Checkers and Zydeco Bounce next. I am sure it won't be long.

Several Princess and HAL ships as well as a few RCI passed in stark silence. Then came the Carnival Freedom with the cupid shuffle blaring from the lido deck. I could see people dancing up there. I thought to myself, I know which ship I'd rather be on. Carnival really did have the fun!

The ironic thing is that the same fun atmosphere that attracts so many to Carnival, is the same atmosphere that those HAL and Princess cruisers are horrified by and are trying to avoid. :rolleyes:

When we sailed on RCI out of Port Everglades a few months ago, we experienced something completely different than what we had experienced before. There wasn't a sailaway party like the one on Carnival. Instead, they had a "Countdown to Sailaway" Show featuring the Dreamworks characters (Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda). It was a full production at the Aqua Theater on the back of the ship, coordinated with the ship's bridge. The Captain gets in the action as "live" images from the bridge (actually pre-recorded but designed to look live) are shown on the large video screens, and the Madagascar penguins kidnap the Captain and take over the ship. People are encouraged to stand up, dance and clap to the beat of the music as the characters perform.

It was awesome because it was innovative and high tech (the countdown was coordinated so that the ship would actually start moving when they reached zero), but its definitely not the same kind of fun as Carnival's sailaway parties.

50 Cruise Songs for a Magical Voyage

Looking for some great Cruise Songs to help you get in the mood for your upcoming voyage ? If so, take a look at my Disney Cruise Playlist . 

For each Disney Cruise sailing , I like to create a special playlist of songs that will help my family get in the mood as we drive to the port . After the trip, my husband also incorporates these songs in our personal home videos.

It’s been very rewarding because now, when the kids hear these songs on the radio, they will say they remind them of our cruise .

50 Cruise Songs for a Magical Sailing

While I originally created this list for a Disney Cruise , these cruise songs will work for any cruise!

Here is a list of songs that I have used. Enjoy!

Disclosure: In this Disney Cruise Playlist page, I provide these Amazon links for your convenience. At no extra cost to you, I’ll get small commission when you use the Amazon links provided above.  I’m sure you can get these songs on iTunes or several other places online to purchase these songs.

Carnival Cruise Line holding open auditions in Davie in search for SoFlo’s best entertainers

All aboard! Do you want a wave of excitement and relaxation? Well, Carnival Cruise wants you to have all of that good stuff, which is why they’re hosting auditions to find themselves, talented entertainers. Deco set sail and joined them during rehearsals.

It’s all about having fun in the sun, and at Carnival Cruise Line, they want to make sure you do just that — with the right entertainers on board.

Courtney Mickens: “We’re having auditions for a lot of our entertainment positions available here at the company. We’re really excited about that, because it’s one of the biggest ones we’ve done this year. So you could come and be a part of music, the production shows, the tech team, some of our fun squads and other shipboard positions. We’re just really excited to get our team geared up.”

And what they look for isn’t just about the talent. It’s about the energy contestants bring to the stage.

Courtney Mickens: “Number one, come with really great energy. We’re looking for people. Remember, Carnival’s number one thing is fun, so you’ve got to come with the fun, come showing your personality. WEe love people that can engage with our guests. That’s a big part in what we do.”

Now, tell us, what goes down during the audition process?

Nichaela Harkins: “It depends what your discipline is. So, if you’re primarily a singer, you’ll sing first more than likely. You’ll sing a couple of your own songs and a couple of songs that we have on our list, our recommended list, that’s a part of our shows. And then, if you are successful at that, you’ll get invited back to dance. And it kinda works opposite for the dancers, so they’ll dance a little bit first.”

And with discipline, anything is possible.

Nichaela Harkins: “We’re gonna get to meet loads of people, we have people coming from all over the world, and our brand really is to bring the fun. So we like to work really hard, but we want to have fun while we’re doing it.”

Seems like it’s smooth sailing from here.

Courtney Mickens: “Be prepared for a whirlwind adventure. Carnival is a big company. We go to a lot of places, we build a lot of things. I’ve been so blessed to be able to go on different projects and activities that have taken me everywhere.”

And, for those in SoFlo that are aspiring performers, here’s some advice.

Courtney Mickens: “Being an artist from Miami, I will say, show them the spice. Show em’ the fun, show them why being from South Florida gives you that X factor. We have such a – what we have called the cultural melting pot down here. Allow that to be one of your strengths. Show that off!”

Carnival Studios will be hosting their day-long open auditions on Sunday in Davie. For more information, click here .
