Have any of you hags taken the TCM cruise?

I really wanted to take my mom on one, since she was such a fan of old Hollywood and the golden age stars, but she passed away before I had the chance. I think she would've loved it.

Are they burying Mitzi at sea?

What is TCM?

It would fit snuggly within the I want to be underwhelmed thread …

If Juliet Mills is bringing her husband -- count me in!

R3 Turner Classic Movies

Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel. A dream come true!

What do they have on the cruise? Show movies?

Hayley AND Juliet Mills!

Yes, R8, I gather they show movies, especially the films of their celebrity guests who do Q & As about them. And I think there are entertainers aboard also, akin to ‘talent’ one might see on other cruises. And the usual buffets and dinners.

All the hosts/moderators on TCM go on this thing every year and I wonder if they find it fun or dread it like a case of plague?

They are dying inside the whole time.

Bob Mackie told me a story of when he went on one. Dave Karger from TCM was doing a Q & A with him and a fan in the audience brought up a dead pet squirrel that they had had stuffed.

Wearing a miniature version of the Carol Burnett “Went With the Wind” dress.

And asked Bob to sign it.

This is the kind of people you’ll be spending time in an enclosed space with.

Sounds like a great setting for a murder mystery.

R12 That sounds pretty awesome, like a John Waters movie.

Would have been fun 15 years ago or so when some of the classic hollywood actors were still alive.

I have not been on a TCM cruise but am a member of the TCM Wine Club!

Standard inside cabin: 5 days starting - STARTING - at $2445. For five days. On the lowest deck. That's almost $500 per person per day.

Which is outrageously expensive.

I hear a voice in the dark!

Imagine booking in advance with no refund option only to find out at the last minute that the main star attraction is going to be Jamie Lee Curtis...and now you're stuck on a boat in the open sea with Jamie Lee Curtis!

I just want to see the movie hosts in their swimsuits!

R19 But y'are on that cruise, Blanche! Y'are!

R20 hasnt been laid since the Clinton administration

IIRC they had Lorna Luft on a recent sailing. Was that where she was molested?

I'd go if only to fuck Dave Karger...

Mitzi will appear, from The Outer Limts.

the schedule for this year's cruise

Do they make a Hollywood Legends caftan in XXXXL?

This year is pretty lackluster, both in terms of guests and films.

Do they play that golf cart race commercial over the loudspeakers?

Ugh...Rita Moreno? Pass!

R27 no size is too small. Edith Head’s ghost is on the Lido deck for a consult. After bingo, but only until tea time.

R30 is the Erivo troll trying, badly, to hide. We know your type.

And that's double occupancy. I'm paying $1750 pp all in for Atlantis next week. And I'll likely have more sex.

Haaaaallo, Chita!

Leslie Uggams as an angry old broad in her "stewardess" costume from "SKYJACKED with Charleton Heston" later retitled "Terror In The Sky" Circa 1972.

Also featuring THAT BITCH YVETTE MIMIEUX!

"Oklahoma!" featuring Shaun Cassidy.

Oh, DEAR.

and Barbra's husband played the hijacker!

I would have preferred to have gone 10 years ago when more actual Golden Age - or at least 1950s-1970s - stars were still alive.

it's not my cup of tea, but the people who do it seem to have fun. I met this couple who go on these cruises with the band Kiss as celebrity guest/hosts (however you want to call it) and they'e done it so many times, Peter Chriss (I think) knows them by name. That's weird. The TCM cruise is kind of dorky, but at least fun dorky. Hanging out on the pool deck with. Gene Simmons is just sad.

Bad form r35

You should take her anyway

^ Ok, Norman.
