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.

UPN's "Love Boat" is, if anything, more corny and obvious than the original. Robert Urich phones it in as the captain, and none of the crew seems likely even to make it to a state legislature one day. Go to Full Review
