Hilarious high jinx, romance and cookery all rolled into one on a luxury cruise - what more could a person want? It kind of reminded me of the old British Carry On films, it was that type of humor and it was very easy to be drawn into the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, loved the storyline, the characters were a great fit and the whole thing pulled together like a well-planned cruise. - Anne Marie Reynolds, Readers' Favorite I am so thrilled and grateful that the Hallmark Channel adapted this novel into a fun movie!Research for this novel included a cruise on the largest ship sailing on the seas!
