Love that! What a great episode too, with all the fashion designers. It was amazing the celebrities ABC got to appear on Love Boat.

I loved this show as a child, never knowing that I would eventually work for Princess Cruises and walk across that same gangway at the Port of Los Angeles onto PACIFIC PRINCESS. Great memories!

Seeing these clips so many years later, still gives me the feeling that it did when I was a kid. I collected brochures and on Saturday nights I used to check off cabin numbers from the brochure, many were not real cabins, I know. I was surprised to see just how small the cabins were on that ship.

I got to tour the Pacific Princess in Ft. Lauderdale many years ago, when I was a travel agent. I wish they syndicated that show here in Canada.

How many of us wanted to be Julie McCoy?

There is talk of the show going to DVD??

I met Julie which was fun. Fake Cruise Director meets real Cruise Director.

I actually have the Love Boat theme song on my iPod Shuffle - My wife rolls her eyes and smiles when I play it.

Actually, with a beard she and Barry look a lot alike. Are you sure you are not related?

Yes it was a great show which we only seemed to get in the UK intermitently. When I sailed on the original Sun Princess in 1978 they showed the full length film which used the Sun Princess as the back drop. I understand that they sailed on normally Pacific Princess at least once a series for the on board shots and paid their fares.

The series not only must have given a lot of free publicity to Princess but the whole cruise industry which was in its infantcy compared with today.

The only negative may have been the shock when passengers saw their tiny cabins on Pacific/Island Princess compared to the large sets of the TV series.
Also I heard when I sailed on those ships as a kid in the 1970s that more than a few passengers thought they would bump into the TV cast member 'working' onboard the ship.

Maybe you are not old enough?

Once seen, never forgotten - but not necessarily for the right reasons.

Here is a classic episode with Ethel Merman, Ann Miller, Della Reese, and Carol Channing as the entertainers.

I and many would sail the Sea Breeze calling on Bayonne NJ, Red Hook, Asbury Park, Blackpool, Mobile, AL, and Galveston TX as ports for these performers

Those were 2-hr specials as I recall.

They also used Vistafjord (after her acquisition by Cunard) in one of their 2-hr specials.

I saw all 3.

Can anyone recall what ship was used in the short-lived revival "The Love Boat: The Next Wave" on the now-defunct UPN network with Robert Urich as captain?

Brian

P.S. In 2006 UPN merged with "The WB" to form "The CW" network.

The Love Boat was a quite popular show in France too. Here it's called "La Croisière s'amuse" (roughly "The cruise has fun"). But the interest it created for cruising was ruined by the awfullness of the French cruise lines offer.

Knowing that 'the French' like to do vacations in France I am still surprised by the fact that there are not more 'french' cruise ships.

BUT there ARE (and were) some french cruise ships - and actually very proper one. (which on the other hand compensates for a lot)
