I was wondeing what most thought about music by the pool during the days at sea on warm weather cruises. When I first started sailing, I loved the steel drum music by the pool watching the sea go buy :D . It set an atmosphere of warmth, and seemed to de-stress adding to the overall escape on board ship :p . Over the years the music has either been eliminated or reduced to a short period each afternoon with a combo or worst yet taped music. The taped music on some ships either didn't fit the mood nor the passengers that can change each week :rolleyes: . I loved to watch fellow passengers get festive and dance (whether they could or not) and induced a party atmosphere :cool: ...but not roudy. Do most want their quiet, almost silent calm so as not to interupt their nap, or reading? Or does the caliper of the ship dictate how quiet things should be  ? Just curious as to what you think....

Quiet please. An occassional band, such as the Mariner 5 is nice for a bbq or such. Otherwise, let me sleep.

I vote for quiet as well. In general, the lack of taped music anywhere on board is a huge plus for me. Friends who have taken their families on Disney Cruise line report going insane after 1 day on board because of the barrage of Disney music EVERYWHERE.

I can go both ways. I enjoy the quiet most of the time but LOVE to hear a steel band when I'm pulling into a Caribbean port (or how about some nice Italian music when pulling into Sorrento). It just makes me so happy and I want to get up and dance :banana:

I agree, quiet during the day and a band for special occasions.

I agree. Constant music all day at the pool would be awful. It would make me want to retreat to my balcony. On occasion however it is fun

As I recall, on our cruise, the pool area every so often had the Mariner 5 or the Jazzdagen (playing Jazz for a couple of lunches...this was a huge Jazz group that was on board with their own band!) playing live music. It was announced ahead of time in Passages.
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~

I would also vote for quiet for most of the time and bands/live music for special occasions - for sail away, coming into ports, and for meals.
