    Storyline

    Edit
    SEptember, 2001. On its last leg homeward, from Pearl Harbour (Hawaii) to San Diego, the USS Constellation hosts a jolly 'tiger cruise' for USNavy, Marines and USNAF relatives, mainly minors ('Navy brats'). Attitudes and emotions vary from simple joy to open frustration, the worst brat being XO commander Gary Dolan's daughter Maddie, who wants him to refuse a promotion to command for a shore job. Then the news of the WCC terror crisis changes everything, as the crew is recalled to war footing. —KGF Vissers

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Tiger Cruise is one of the only three Disney Channel original movies to bear a viewer discretion warning at the beginning of the film. The discretion encourages family viewing so that the family watching it could talk about the movie and the events of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The other such movies were Don't Look Under the Bed (1999), which beared a discretion for scary images, and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior (2006), which beared one for violence.
    • Goofs
      The movie takes place on the USS Constellation CV-64. During the flight show, the number shows, "68." That number belongs to the USS Nimitz.
    • Quotes

      Anthony: One of my friends... their parents worked in those towers. A girl in my class... her dad is a firefighter. I never got tired of looking at them. Those towers. They were just so big and cool. The way the sun would reflect off them... Everything's gunna be so different now.

    • Alternate versions
      This film was originally broadcast on the Disney Channel in wide screen format; later airings were in full screen (1.33:1) only.

    Beautiful and tear-jerking.
    I want to give this film a ten, but since ten would mean perfect, my instincts would only let me go so far. I couldn't believe how much this movie changed my life...and my family's.

    September 11th is one thing that I remember every single day. I've written so many poems and stories about that day, and yet I still wonder...why? This movie is far too hard to watch without tears spilling out of your eyes. My favorite Disney Channel movie, perhaps, of all-time, I was taken aback at Hayden Panettiere's touching role...And I love the way the story was laid out. Just as her father says that he will come home, she realizes how important his job is.

    Tiger Cruise gets 9.9/10 for me!
