Flat and stupid

How can two people married in real life have no chemistry on the screen? It's probably bad acting as so many reviewers have said.

Did the writers know anything about how things work? 1- New aspiring Cruise Director must do everything right so what does he do, he changes up the event planner's schedule without asking. True he made a good recovery, but before that, he compounded his error with an arrogant attitude. 2- If you are counting on a celebrity for a guest spot as central to your whole event, then you have a contract with huge penalties. Since she is supposedly a rich heiress, she knows about lawyers and can get good ones. Better, and especially if you are a no-risk person, you don't bank on anyone as unstable as Preston. 3 - She has no self-confidence. She is hung up, compulsively, on her ex's opinion. She repeatedly gives up. This is not a self-starting lone business woman. In fact, she gives independent women a bad name. 4 - Neither of them should have time for anything but their jobs. And if they are the driven people they are supposed to be, nothing interferes with that. Combined, 3&4 mean these are not authentic driven people. 5- Cruise personal have NO free time. They work two or three jobs and 15-18 hour days, with no breaks They don't wonder the deck chit-chatting and talking about "getting back out there" or play mini-golf. (Despite what we saw on Love Boat.)

One thing I think was accurate is that Cruise Directors are very talented in their own right.

Olivia is unlikable and partly because she is so uptight. Her insecurities got tiring. Tony is trying to hard (or is it the actor Carlos trying to hard.

Yes, the movie is a 2 hour commercial for Royal Caribbean. It is a beautiful and impressive ship. {Wow, Olivia's cabin was amazing.) So it didn't bother me.

score 3/10
