My top award for a film about the Navy goes to:

 

The Enemy Below (20th Century Fox, 1957)

 

Different navy but "Das Boot," especially the long version, is awesome!

The original show is credited with really introducing the idea of cruising itself to the general public. Before that show there had not been knowledge of and demand for this type of vacation.

In large, maybe, but don't forget the Columbo episode, "Troubled Waters," two years earlier (1975), which perhaps popularized murder at sea.

And I think there are dozens and dozens of great old movies featuring cruise ships, such as the Marx Brothers ("A Night at the Opera") and Marilyn Monroe ("Gentlemen Prefer Blondes") - which certainly made me interested in cruising!

Oh, and I guess a few movies about big cruise ships that didn't end so well for the ships!

Long in the tooth!
