Good cruise movies?

[bakersdozen12]

I did the same recently for the same reason!

 

I did a Google search and came up with:

 

Speed 2: Cruise Control (although it's a really bad movie)

 

Going Overboard (again, a really bad movie though; it's a very old Adam Sandler movie)

 

And lastly, although this is not about a cruise ship: World War Z. They mention the Carnival Dream in the movie, which I get a kick out of since it's the boat I'll be on in October, and it's nice to know that it will survive the zombie apocalypse, lol!

Now Voyager, with Bette Davis. I love this movie.

 

I've dvr'd Overboard with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell but I haven't seen it in years. I think it takes place on a yacht though. Does that count at all?:)

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions - will definitely check some of these out.

Thanks for the ear worms, guys. Now I have the theme song from Love Boat and that line from the Chipmunk's movie ("I swish my tail back and forth, I swish my tail back and forth") pinging in my brain. :)

Death on the Nile

 

Its a feature length Poirot story and I adored it before I realised I adored cruises. Gotta love some Agatha Christie!

I love Planes Trains and Automobiles but dang...the ending is such a huge downer. Makes me cry every time and I'm a 38 year old man!

I feel a little sad at first... but they invite him in... and he had a wonderful happy smile... John Candy was great...:D:D Edited May 30, 2015 by cruzn buckeye

Just about every movie that involves Cruise Ships will feature what cruising use to be like rather than today's reality .

Was it better then ? Who knows , just more $$ then and a very different onboard experiences and features. The ship seems to be the attraction, rather than the sea, nowadays.
