what is the name of the song?

[shipgeek]

It's from a bizarre eBay find -- an album of "educational" songs called "On A Cruise." The A side has these songs like "On a Cruise" with lyrics and this woman singing. The B side has instrumental accompaniment versions of the same songs as the A side, presumably for school plays and so forth. No copyright information that I could find. Hope this helps!

what song's this? so cool!! I wish we could turn back the time. Nowadays there are only ugly floating resort.

[shipgeek]

The songs are from a very obscure LP called "On a Cruise," which I think may have been made for school children to sing along to, given that the flip side of the record is just the instrumental versions of the songs. Hope this helps! And we do still have the QE2, and she's divine!

You know what would be really mean? If you took This song and played it in one of the sinking scenes from the 1997 Titanic movie.

As a fan of Cunard White Star Line, I have to say airliners & airplanes in general SUCK. Those ugly things did alot of the Great Liners in. As a fan Cunard White Star Line, I believe the Liner is the destination & getting there is half the fun. Forgive me, but I say screw business deadlines. The Ocean Liners is the only thing that I will have business with, nothing else. If there is one thing I hate almost as much as scrap merchants is airplanes.

I've been on the Queen Mary 8 times. She may sail anymore, but for me as I used to live a hour from her, I say that she is a very lovely Ocean Liner & no doubt the greatest Liner of all time. Can you get a feedback on the current scrapping of RMS Sagafjord. I really angry about this. I feel like Sasuke Uchiha right now. You can look him up on his character info. But I hate scrap merchants & I HATE Liners getting scrap.

i wonder how much money it would take to make it go out to sea again

[sanyo51]

she was a powerhorse..

[lasuvidaboy]

The Queen was'nt on a cruise but on her regular Transatlantic run between New York, France and England. The Queen Mary was not a cruise ship. She was a fast Transatlantic liner.

The Queen Mary was'nt on a cruise (she was'nt a cruise ship). QM was on an Atlantic crossing on her regular Transatlantic run between New York, Cherbourg, France and Southampton, England.

I was ten, when saw Queen Mary cruise sailed out to England, from NYC harbour, while we're on British freight small ship ahead south for Brazil. I wished I had ride on Queen Mary cruiser. I am deaf woman in 50s now. I drew that from photo of Queen Mary for my book called Veloz, the name of freight ship. Will go to publisher soon.
