In this updated version of the classic "Love Boat" series, recently divorced former U.S. Navy captain Jim Kennedy III takes the helm of a Caribbean cruise ship - along with its crew mates - on adventuresome voyages that sometimes lead to romance. The captain's son, Danny, also comes along for the ride on the ship, dubbed the Sun Princess, to get a taste of sea life. Like in the original series, this short-lived show featured a number of guest stars in each episode, including some original "Love Boat" cast members.

There is nothing wrong with the new Love Boat that an iceberg couldn't solve. This baby deserves to go down on its maiden voyage. Go to Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 06/28/2019
"The Love Boat: The Next Wave" might have made a splash if its creators had gone camp and maybe done to the series what the Zuckers did to the "Airplane" movies. But, no, we got low-end Aaron Spelling, recycled, prime-time dumb. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
