A Christmas Cruise

Vivica Fox plays journalist and aspiring novelist Pam Stevenson.

Pam is invited by her best friend on festive themed Christmas cruise. Pam plans to get an article out of it but things do not start well as she has to sleep in a rollaway bed as there are not twin beds in their cabin.

Pam dispenses life advice to other cruise guests such as a young engaged couple and finds romance herself with the cruise director.

This is another run of the mill Christmas themed romance movie that is made for television. This one looks a bit more expensive, in short it was not made in Canada. They even use the Queen Mary that is docked in LA for exterior shots.

Laughably, Fox who is in her 50s plays a child of the 90s, rather unconvincingly.

This is possibly the worst movie I've ever suffered through. There was absolutely no chemistry between the two main characters, and the male lead was completely void of any charm or desirable characteristics. The female lead was, for lack of a better word, "blah." Their relationship was basically nothing but being rude and sarcastic to each other, and their banter was just awkward and forced.

I generally appreciate the cheesiness of Christmas/Hallmark type movies, but man. This went way past cheesy, into downright cringeworthy.

Literally one of the worst movies that I'll never get my 1 hr and 40 minutes back! Horrible script and worse acting. The poor Queen Mary shots were sad. No chemistry between any actors. Lifetime movies along with Christmas in July on Hallmark are better and that's truly hard to say.

Mainly writing this review to point out that it was obvious this would be a bad film from the very beginning. The cruise director reads the lead's "handwritten" notes only for the camera to linger on the opened journal and show him pointing to a typed script taped on the inside cover. I mean come on, how did every editor miss that? It only got worse from there.

I found myself checking my phone. The charecters had no chemistry and you could tell they weren't reallycon a ship. Love Boat was actually better.
