Movie version of the original TV series follows the show’s format of multiple stories blended together. The lead story involves the ship’s bookkeeper who becomes the driver by accident for a trio of jewel thieves. A suspended police lieutenant trails the group onto the boat in disguise. The ship’s captain, reclusive since his wife’s death, is pushed by his daughter to return to the hotel in Bermuda where the couple originally honeymooned. The new cruise director sets her eyes on a passenger who is a TV star, but another ship employee is interested in her.
Director: Ron Satlof.
Stars: Gavin MacLeod, Jill Wheelan, Bernie Kopell, Ted Lange, Tom Bosley, Julia Duffy, Roddy Piper, Shanna Reed, Joe Regalbuto, Ted Shackelford, Kim Johnston Ulrich, Jerry Lacy.
I actually worked on this film! Right now, I am in the process of editing the video that I personally shot while we filmed…on 2 back-to-back, 10-day Caribbean cruises, in June 1989!
The story, with pictures, will also be told in My Book of my years in The Biz! Should I be lucky to love long enough to complete it!
