Love Boat horn duet between "Regal Princess" & "Sky Princess" in Southampton Docks - 28/08/2021

A brief visit to Southampton Docks on Saturday 28th August 2021 to watch the departure of Princess Cruises' "Regal Princess" who would be passing her sister "Sky Princess".
Here we see "Regal Princess" sailing through the docks after departing from the Mayflower Cruise Terminal around 5pm and then performing a duet with "Sky Princess" as she passed the Queen Elizabeth II Cruise Terminal with their 'Love Boat' horns.
Also seen in port were MSC Cruises' "MSC Virtuosa", Celebrity Cruises' "Celebrity Silhouette" and P&O Cruises' "Iona".
Viewed from Town Quay.

Aw.....they love eachother

[@anhthingocnguyen1442]

So cute for both sister ships to hail each other! Well done!

[@Razorfall]

You think the video is cool? If you ever hear this in person, the vid doesn't do it justice. I heard this for myself today and it's really incredible to hear yourself from across the city

[@kathio3158]

I work in a building quite close to the waterfront in Seattle and I always watch the Discovery Princess leave for Alaska... well today, I sat in a window seat and heard the Love Boat horn for the first time! I'm delighted! It's amazing!!

[@FraserAtSea]

Great video - I think I may have been onboard Regal Princess when you shot this!

[@NewEnglandFoamer]

I’ve been on the Regal princess in the British Isles all week! Sad I leave tomorrow tho but I have to say for my first cruise this was pretty amazing!

[@gasstationincanada4990]

3 years ago i went on the regal princess and in a week ill be going on the Sky Princess

[@anneriffe2886]

God willing, we'll be on the Sky in 8 days. Can't wait!

[@optombomber2980]

Beautiful

[@richarddennis3793]

love this vid heard it for real 5 times back on the enchanted 1st july

[@2KITTIES-CLRR]

I can't help wondering just how they are able to get the different tones from their horns. I'm not familiar with the process. But, I can imagine it's something to behold when you see these ships and hear some of their majesty. I've only been on one cruise in my life. The ship I went on was, at the time, the largest ship afloat. It was the Carnival Destiny ship. I had a wonderful time, then. And, I wish I could afford to go on another cruise. If I ever could, I'd prob choose to go on a Princess Line Cruise. I know it's nothing like real life, but, I have always enjoyed watching The Love Boat - reruns and all. 🥰💓😻

Cool vid! Heard this on the Enchanted Princess in Ft Lauderdale in March 22. Nice touch to get peeps in the party mood!

[@AndreiTupolev]

That is a feature I like about them. I wonder if it's played by the captain playing a keyboard on the bridge

[@lucagiordano6406]

It is a single button and the tune is pre-programmed.

[@JulieWallis1963]

@AndreiTupolev It’s not. It’s just the ships horn! 🤦‍♀️😵‍💫🤦‍♀️

[@MegatronEnthusiast]

It’s a button that plays the air horns one after another at different tunes, this also goes for the Disney magic class ships.

[@AUSTOGO]

Must be new as I was on a Princess in 09 ,they ever had it back then

[@producermathew]

This sound is the bane of my existence.

[@nice2nettles]

You and me both!

[@SatNavDan]

Best noise a cruise ship's ever made.

[@producermathew]

@@SatNavDan not when you live right next to the water and hear it 4 times a day 😂😂😂 - jokes aside, I’m not actually that phased by it, it’s quite a cool marketing technique used most famously by Disney cruise line (I think they do it better). Just frustrating they hit the horn button like a kid smacking a bop it

[@royjaruk321]

Interesting, but they can't hold a candle to the calliope on the old Delta Queen. When I was Third Officer of the old Robert Toombs in 1978, we pulled into our berth in New Orleans after a really rough Atlantic crossing where we lost our radar antenna to a sirocco and were hit by a rogue wave two days out of the Straits of Gibraltar that stove in a bunch of cargo containers at No. 1 Hatch, scrubbed off a lot of paint on the bows, and twisted our foc'sl ladders like pipe cleaners. Delta Queen was idling in the basin waiting for her berth to open up, and called us on the radio to see what had happened to us. We told them, and as a mark of respect Delta Queen played us into our berth with a 20 minute calliope concert.

princess play the theme from the love boat because it was there ship in the 70s show the pacific princess] the cabins where sets but out side was filmed on the boat

[@ldover0821]

They’re calling to me!!😂

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Too bad Princess doesn't play the rest of that song line. It always seems half finished.

[@JulieWallis1963]

It’s the ships horn, not a karaoke bar! It plays plenty enough.

[@MysticianLuna_VG]

It's their signature horn, not a karaoke

[@hampshirewanderer5078]

I'd hate to be living near there, while working nights!

[@richarddennis3793]

@Trin Jefferson no horns at night

[@hampshirewanderer5078]

@@richarddennis3793 but imagine trying to sleep during the day.

[@princecharmingthemerman]

The ship only plays that when leaving port

[@amrithkumarevshipspotting4583]
