Classic TV Shows - The Love Boat

Show Summary
Set aboard the Pacific Princess, a luxury cruise ship which
embarked each week on a romantic, sentimental, and often
hilarious voyage across tropic seas. Three or four stories
told on each telecast were interwoven and often involved
the ship's crew, who were seen on the show every week.
Famous movie and TV stars were delighted to accept guest
roles on The Love Boat's floating sound stage, combining
work with travel to exotic locations. Most of the episodes
were filmed on two real cruise ships, the Pacific Princess
and the Island Princess, during their regular voyages from
the Virgin Islands to Alaska. Paying passengers were
invited to participate as extras.
