Princess Cruises is turning
50, and it’s calling on a few
old friends to celebrate. Six
cast members of the original
The Love Boat television
series, which was filmed on
Princess ships, have been
named godparents of the
Regal Princess, now sailing
in the Caribbean. Gavin
MacLeod (Captain Stubing),
Fred Grandy (Gopher, the chief purser), Ted Lange (Isaac, the bartender),
Bernie Kopell (Doc, the ship’s doctor), Lauren Tewes (Julie, the cruise
director), and Jill Whelan (Vicki, the captain’s daughter) recently reunited
for the ship’s christening, kicking off Princess’ golden anniversary
festivities. And that’s only the beginning: All Princess passengers will be
treated to special anniversary
experiences throughout 2015.
