🎶 "Time to Resign"
(To the tune of "Time to Say Goodbye")
Parody lyrics inspired by the imagined resignation of Christine Duffy
[Verse 1 – soft, emotional]
When the ships were late,
And the buffet trays were empty...
When the WiFi failed,
You still smiled for CNBC.
But now the slots are tight,
The drink cards gone overnight —
It’s clear the tide has turned.
[Pre-Chorus]
From pool deck fights, to banned delights,
From lukewarm shrimp to neon lights...
Oh Christine, it’s been a ride.
But now it’s time...
[Chorus – crescendo, operatic]
🎶 Time to resign...
Though you sold us Fun like it was wine.
You gave us Bolt, but stole the shine,
Now Carnival’s just floating swine!
Christine... it’s time... to resign. 🎶
[Verse 2 – slower, sarcastic warmth]
You launched "new Coke" ships,
Branded “Funderstruck” with pride.
You banned Me from drinks,
Now I rant on YouTube live.
You gave us plastic straws...
But not enough clean drawers —
Room service died inside.
[Bridge – dramatic, minor key]
No more towel animals in sight,
No lobster night, no midnight bites...
You raised the tips, then raised the rates,
Christine, we’ve seen... our fates.
[Final Chorus – full power ballad]
🎶 Time to resign...
Before they turn your ship to lime.
Before John Heald steals your shine —
Or gets promoted just in time.
Oh Christine... it’s time... to resign. 🎶
[Outro – whisper with orchestra swelling]
You’ll sail away...
But the buffet tray...
Will never be the same...
