    • Goofs
      While Cindy and Paul are talking on the fantail after Cindy discovers that she is still sick, the rear-projection background of the ocean and sky suddenly skips, making the horizon momentarily jump up. (This happens right after Cindy tells Paul, "I'm frightened.")

    Marcia, Marcia, Marcia never acted better
    Maureen McCormick, who after graduating from "The Brady Bunch" just seemed to grow lovelier right up to her appearance in "Touched by an Angel," is a woman who looks great but is actually (unbeknownst to her) dying. How will the man she's fallen for (an unlikely Jay Thomas) react? She even gets a chance to emote. It doesn't get better than this. From adolescence I was a "Marcia" kind of guy.

    Charo is back coochee-cocheeing around with her ambiguities about show biz and Larry Linville's monster children.

    Richard Kline is a bruiser working for a shady loan company on the cruise to rough up a client. Then the client turns out to be the girl he's fallen for (Lisa Hartman).

    A ship filled with 1970s celebs whose names have faded, without one old-time movie actor whose stars will never dim.

    But even the cloyingly sad episode is watchable this time, rather than something to fast-forward through. IMHO one of the better episodes.
