'Love Boat' Cast Reuniting in Florida

“The Love Boat” soon will be making another run.

That’s the word from Princess Cruises as it prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The cruise line has assembled the original cast of “The Love Boat” to kick off festivities during a Nov. 5 celebration in Fort Lauderdale that will involve the christening of the line’s newest ship, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

“We’re thrilled to announce that the original Love Boat cast will be the godparents to Regal Princess,” the cruise line’s Facebook page states.

The cast’s ties with Princess are tight. The pilot for the show was shot on the line’s original Sun Princess ship back in 1977, according to USA Today.

Cast members expected to be on hand for the christening include Gavin MacLeod (Capt. Stubing), Fred Grandy (Gopher), Ted Lange (Isaac), Bernie Kopell (Doc), Lauren Tewes (Julie) and Jill Whelan (Vicki).

“I’m absolutely thrilled that my former cast mates and I will be part of Regal Princess’ U.S. debut,” MacLeod was quoted by USA Today as saying.

Princess Cruises officially turns 50 in 2015. For more information about the cruise line and anniversary celebrations, visit Princess Cruises online.
