Bret82 Posted May 3, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 3, 2010 What movies can you think of that are mostly or entirely set on a cruise ship? I can only think of one, "The Poseidon Adventure" and it's modern re-make, "Poseidon". Would not be a good movie to watch right befor depature, haha.

I liked Out to Sea with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. It was set on the Westerdam. Funny movie in my opinion.

Bret82 Posted May 3, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Thanks! I knew of that movie but couldn't think of the title. I will have to request that from Netflix before the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Affair to Remember..... oooooh and the dreadful remake of the Parent Trap where they marry on a Cruise ship...... Actually you said mostly set...... tut.... must learn to read the question.....

Carry On Cruising..... d'oh Edited May 3, 2010 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret82 Posted May 3, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Of course, how could I forget Speed 2? I actually have that one on DVD. Not a very good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaMeSmile Posted May 3, 2010 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The Legend of 1900, starring the always-fabulous Tim Roth. He plays a man (named "1900") who was found as an infant on a ship at the turn of the 20th century, and spends his entire life on board. It's a really bittersweet movie!

teacher_md Posted August 7, 2010 #14 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Does anyone know the name of the cruise ship they were on during the filming of Boat Trip with Cuba Gooding Jr.? It says "Olympic Voyager" on the back of the ship but I can't find anything about a ship of that name. Just curious. BTW - terrible movie!!!! Thanks, AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constance331 Posted August 7, 2010 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Bette Davis' "Now, Voyager". Check it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy15 Posted August 7, 2010 #16 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Wonderful film- one of my favourites. Claude Rains played the psychiatrist- great actor. Bette Davis was fantastic too- and the outfits she wore on the ship - can you just imagine one of those enormous hats nowadays !! a different era of travel altogether.

birdie16 Posted August 7, 2010 #17 Share Posted August 7, 2010 There is an old Doris Day movie, "Romance on the High Seas". It is kind of fun if you like old flicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1phileshipper Posted August 7, 2010 #18 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's not really a movie, but a double episode of the most famous Belgian sitcom of all times was filmed on the...... Freedom of the seas. It even featured Chantal, Captain Trym's wife. I could watch it over and over again :D Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "Olympic Voyager" on the back of the ship but I can't find anything about a ship of that name. Just curious. BTW - terrible movie!!!! Thanks, AJ I just did a google search for Olympic Voyager. There was, indeed, a ship by that name. It was built by Blohm & Voss, Hamburg and delivered to Royal Olympic Cruises in 2000. Here's a link to the specs for the ship: http://www.allgreecetravel.com/tours-cruises/olympia_voyager.asp After Royal Olympia Cruises folded in 2004 (the name had to be changed as the Olympic Committee had an issue with them using the Olympic name) the ship became the Costa Voyager...

wandb Posted November 20, 2012 #22 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Not a movie---but still one of my favorite pre-cruise things to watch: I Love Lucy!!! There is a series of about 4 or 5 episodes that are simply hilarious!! Getting the passports, missing the boat, boarding the boat--every episode just brings a smile:) remembering them.

shortchange1969 Posted November 20, 2012 #24 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Not filmed entirely on a ship but Jack and Jill with Adam Sandler, the last part was filmed on the Allure of the Seas. Not the best movie ever made but pretty funny and cool to see the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
