Princess Cruises falls in love
Princess Cruises is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the “The Love Boat” with new romantic initiatives and a fresh Department of Romance made up of a “dream team of romance experts,” says the company whose boat was featured in the hit TV series.
“I don’t think there’s any better company to be an expert in romance than Princess Cruises,” said actor Gavin MacLeod, former Captain Stubing of The Love Boat.
“Ever since our show launched — which is 30 years ago this year — I have been amazed by the number of passengers who come up to me and share their romantic stories.
Many cruisers tell him they met their future spouse onboard, or that a moment on the cruise brought them closer together.
Princess has named well-known relationship experts to serve in its new Department of Romance — prominent dating and romance guru Trish McDermott, couples therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer, seasoned wedding planner Alba Carreras, and actor MacLeod.
“We consider the art of romance so integral to our passenger experience that it makes sense for us to dedicate an entire department to the cause,” says Jan Swartz, Princess senior vice president.
The department has planned a variety of romantic pursuits this year.
“Romance by Room Service,” for example, offers couples who want to snuggle up in their stateroom a package that includes champagne and chocolate, scattered fresh rose petals and flameless scented candles. Adding the line’s “Ultimate Balcony” dinner provides even more ingredients for a romantic evening.
“Become a Certified Romantic” is another program for couples seeking to rekindle the romantic side of their relationship. The course will offer tools on how couples can rediscover romance, as well as tips for sustaining romance long after passengers return home from their cruise.
Passengers aboard Princess ships will receive daily reminders on how to celebrate and strengthen their relationships, as the daily “Princess Patter” activities program will feature a romantic tip or quotation to inspire affection.
Programs are starting next month.
