  • The love boat….. Soon w”ll be making a lot of ❤️.

    I don’t even have to watch the episode to remember it listening to you describe. My first cruising experience was totally based on the Love Boat show. I thought everyone was supposed to stand on the deck and wave to the people on shore. There was never anyone to wave to😂. Great first episode! Can’t wait for more. Way to go Love boaters!
