That is very funny, even more so that a German Captain picked it. Of course there was no other message there

Princess cruise ships, apparently, play the theme from 'The Love Boat' (not a programme I have ever seen) when departing their berth. I prefer bag pipes.

I thought it was very funny and I immediately told a German sailing friend that perhaps our nations do share a sense of humour after all!

Will the yanks start playing the Village People In The Navy?
I would love to see the crew on deck doing the actions.

Eine Bootsfahrt, die ist lustig,
Eine Bootsfahrt, die ist schön,
Denn da kann man fremde Länder
Und noch manches andre sehn

Late club-mates of ours used to play the Last Post when lowering their ensign while at anchor.

I spent a few days in st Thomas cleaning a boat after a delivery. A couple of the Disney boats were in port. “When you wish upon a star” was charming the first 4 or 5 times…

It was reported to me as the Last Post but you may be right. They were a very pukka couple with a Nonsuch 33 they used to do the Round the Island race in each year. The boat's name was Mersea Memsahib, which was the lady's nickname.
