While at sea, passengers had the opportunity to attend a wide variety of TCM-themed events and activities, including film screenings and conversations with special guests Jennifer Grant, Victoria Thomas, Carl Franklin, Bruce Goldstein, and screen stars Stefanie Powers, Nancy Kwan, Brenda Vaccaro, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Keith Carradine.
TCM hosts Ben Mankiewicz, Jacqueline Stewart, Dave Karger, Eddie Muller, and Alicia Malone were also on board, ushering festivities throughout the week. Other fan events included film discussions, movie trivia games, beverage tastings, live music, and dance classes. The weeklong celebration of film also hosted multiple parties, including a first ever “Karaoke Cabaret,” where TCM hosts and staff serenaded passengers with jukebox favorites, and “Hollywood Canteen,” a USO show-themed reception where guests were encouraged to dress to the nautical nines, inspired by service blues, followed by a fireworks celebration.
