A familiar cast and crew -- which will continue carrying on for several more of these comedies by director
Gerald Thomas -- once again star in well-established character types. This time around, the put-upon captain of a cruise ship (
Sidney James) has five top positions suddenly needing to be filled by replacements, and unfortunately, he gets a rather inept lot. The quintet does not lack for trying, but then that attitude engenders the difficulties in the first place. The new and amateur cook, the sophisticated bartender, and the shapely femme fatale all make their appearance among the eccentrics on board. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
