Does anyone know if Princess still plays the � "Loveboat" theme when
boarding?
Thanks, Shirley

As company policy, they don't..... but some of the cruise directors sneak it
in at some point during the cruise.

FWIW - I was attending a cruise marketing seminar and they talked about
Princess and the Love Boat theme. �It appears that the general consensus was
that the "Love Boat" was so closely identified with Princess specifically
and cruising in general that it was a huge mistake for them to abandon it in
their advertising.

It was the first recreational "cruise brand" that was popularized, had
almost universal name recognition and was a positive force in building the
modern cruise industry.... and the power-that-be walked away from it.

George Your right a silly mistake cause us Boomers remember that
series it was part of our life, YET they always seem to use Capt
Stuebing for bringing in new Ships and members of the cast... And
since they were the Love boat what nice thing to be remembered for
LOVE!

If it had not been for the "LOVE BOAT" t.v.show,and my husbands gentle
persuasion,i would never had taken a cruise,but will hope to look
forward to our 46th cruise sometime soon.

They recognized the mistake that is why they have reached out to the
whole cast of Love Boat, Gavin has been the one to jump on it but they
have not forgotten just misplaced it along the way.
