Can anybody give me the name(s) of their favorite song(s) to use as a background on a cruise video? :music: We have sailed on a Bahama cruise and we are booked on an Eastern Carribean next June. I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Thank you! :)

we always try to pick something that matches where we were or what was going on on the cruise, etc.

One of the ones we are working on now uses Kenny Chesney's Guitars and Tiki Bars. Nearly anything off of the Album Be As You Are would work well for a Caribbean or Bahamian cruise. Of course, most Jimmy Buffet songs would work well too.

You could also do somethign that plays off of the name of the ship such a sDO You Believe in Magic or Day Dream believer.

I am sure eventually the perfect song will just hit you and you will know.

Holy crap I think I love you... well, at least your song list. Man, you even got Zac in there, and Baja Sessions?!?!? Amazing list!!!

my only addition being "Sail Away" David Gray and a *rare* find, "Pirate Song" George Harrison. Ok, just put that second one in there because I am known for knowing my music and feel totally schooled!!!
