Romance à tribord

When "grandma" showed up and looked almost as young as Alex PenaVega, I was done. Nothing up to that point captured my attention. For the most part, I don't think husband and wife teams are good together in romantic movies. Probably a thing in the back of my head that is saying there is no anticipation for first love/romance. That's what I love in romantic movies. First romance/love. You can skip this one in my opinion.

How can a real life married couple not have chemistry on screen. I have seen other hallmark movies with actors that are not married light it up and make you root for them.

Hallmark needs to do away with this married couple thing. No chemistry even though they are married. His acting is horrible. Kind of reminds me of Kelly Ripa and Mark. Storyline was boring too.

The basic virtue of this film, for me, was rediscover Audrey Landers. And the impressive ship.

The story is modest and forced in too many aspects , the feeling about a sort of improvisation is not absent and the chemistry between Alexa and Carlos PenaVega can be defined as artificial, the regret about option of Olivia being a good clue in this sense.

In short, nothing new , not only the familiar recipe but the old cliches without any innovative sparkle. But, sure, Hallmark in ordinary terms.

Only regret - the potential of development of characters, ignored for conventional sketches and for improvisations solved by two final kisses.

I think the other reviewers pretty much covered all the problems with this movie, so I'm not going to waste your time with a lengthy review. I do think that because this movie got off to such a weak start, it became difficult to stay committed to it. The acting was not strong enough, and for the most part, it disappoints. Still, there was enough substance in it for me to watch it until the end, perhaps because it took part on a cruise ship, and not in the usual Hallmark venues, although I did truly fall asleep in the middle. I suspect a stronger cast along with a better script might have made a substantial difference.
