However, things become complicated when Gina starts to develop real feelings for her new beau.

The final storyline centers on a newlywed couple named Kevin and Julie (played by Scott Baio and Erin Moran) whose honeymoon is marred by constant bickering and misunderstandings. Fed up with their constant fighting, the couple decides to see a marriage counselor (played by Connie Stevens) while on board the ship. With the counselor's help, Kevin and Julie begin to work through their issues and learn to communicate more effectively.

As the three storylines unfold, the passengers and crew of the Pacific Princess navigate their way through love, conflict, and intrigue on what promises to be a memorable voyage.
