While I am a bit too young to remember the romantic antics of Captain Stubing and the rest of the crew of thePacific Princess, for many people a couple generations older than me, the classic ABC romantic sitcom “The Love Boat” provided hours of television entertainment. These people might be saddened to know that thePacific Princess, the cruise ship that was the model for “The Love Boat” and appeared in the opening credits for the show’s 10-season run, has beensold for scrapto a Turkish company.
ThePacific Princesswas built in 1971, originally named theSea Venture, and was sold to Princess Cruises in 1974, where it was renamed thePacific Princess. In addition to portraying weekly comedic and romantic adventures to American television viewers, many credit “The Love Boat” with stimulating American, and international interest in the cruise industry and cruise ship vacations.
