Ret MP Posted October 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2022 We turned it on last night and to my surprise, it's a contest/reality show, not a sitcom. We didn't care for it at all. However, what I did notice was the, so called, Cruise Director. It was Matt. Matt was probably one of the best Cruise Directors in Carnival. We had lunch with him one day, several years ago (No, I'm not star struck). Nice guy. I'm happy for his success. But, in my opinion, this show won't get a second season. It's just a variant of other sex starved, fake sensitive guys, reality dating shows, Love Island, et al. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way the ratings for the premiere episode were abysmal; only 2.4 million people watched it. The show is not going to last very long in its timeslot. I only watched it because it was between Survivor and The Amazing Race. Silly show. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision by CBS to put the show in between those programs will hurt the ratings for The Amazing Race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted October 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2022 It's a really, really lame reality show. It's so bad I'd rather watch RCI's love and marriage show. If Princess thinks this is good publicity targeting the younger generation touting "love" on the high seas, they are high on something -- the average cruiser's age on Princess has to be around 85. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 6, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2022 We will watch it this weekend, have not heard anyone say it was worth watching 5 minutes ago, livingonthebeach said: It's a really, really lame reality show.

smokeybandit Posted October 6, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 6, 2022 That show is quite the slap in the face to the classic TV show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted October 7, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2022 It's basically Love Island (which got moved off prime time TV to streaming this season) on a cruise ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted October 7, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Which is better? Harmony of The Seas "Love at Sea" vs Regal Princess "The Real Love Boat"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted October 7, 2022 #11 Share Posted October 7, 2022 First, I knew it was a reality show. It's been advertised that way for months. Second, we thought it was fun. Third, it's not supposed to be the same as the original sitcom at all. Have some imagination people. It is it's own show and the concept was never hidden from anyone. Just look at it for what it is, a reality show with a cruise as the backdrop. I also love Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn. They're a breath of fresh air in Hollywood where marriages last ten minutes. They've been together 18 years and married 15. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone that watches most of my TV shows via DVR and fast forwards through commercials, i only quickly go back to catch when it shows and relied mostly on the name to spur interest, and find the premiere date. Like most who commented here I was sorely disappointed to find another Very Bad example of Reality TV. Glad to see it had dismal ratings. Now a good remake of the original sitcom I would have been up for, as it is that recording got less than 10 minutes before we hit "Series Delete" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ret MP Posted October 7, 2022 Author #18 Share Posted October 7, 2022 But, I didn't know that. I saw it on the "Guide", actually about 5 minutes into it, and turned it in. My initial thought was, it was going to be a re-make of the original, a sitcom. I'm not a big ABC. CBS, NBC, FOX broadcast TV watcher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries -- you're allowed to have an affair with Cunard while married to Royal. 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
