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.

This is probably the worst Hallmark movie ever. We made it through about 20 minutes or less and that time was painful. It just wasn't working. I was antagonized by the whole concept, plot, and the actors (and I use that term very loosely). The actors didn't gel; nobody was likeable. The lines and delivery were amateurish and offended me. Being gracious, it doesn't even rate as a "B" movie and probably not even a "C" if there is such a thing. I would have bleached my DVR drive if that is possible to ensure it could never be found.

Cute story-even if implausible which is par for most Hallmark movies. Alexa and Carlos PenaVega are a cute couple - but seriously lacking in the acting department. Neither one of them are believable in these roles - and as a married couple in "real life" have absolutely no chemistry on-screen. She's pretty - he's handsome --- and obviously Hallmark loves them - so we'll keep seeing them together! My biggest problem in the movie was casting the ENORMOUSLY untalented Audry Landers as the mother! She wasn't one bit believable. Fake Fske Fake! I couldn't even stand watching her. AND Billy Moses-what happened to you? The biggest "score" for this movie was Royal Caribbean. They couldn't have asked for a better commercial since the old Lust for Life (Iggy Pop) commercials from several years ago.
