Yes, R8, I gather they show movies, especially the films of their celebrity guests who do Q & As about them. And I think there are entertainers aboard also, akin to ‘talent’ one might see on other cruises. And the usual buffets and dinners.
All the hosts/moderators on TCM go on this thing every year and I wonder if they find it fun or dread it like a case of plague?

Bob Mackie told me a story of when he went on one. Dave Karger from TCM was doing a Q & A with him and a fan in the audience brought up a dead pet squirrel that they had had stuffed.
Wearing a miniature version of the Carol Burnett “Went With the Wind” dress.
And asked Bob to sign it.

I went in 2016 (right after the election).
I had never been on a cruise before and at first I was like what have I gotten myself into. I was like 40 years younger than everyone else.
The stars were Kim Novack, Leslie Caron, Jerry Lewis, Michael York, Dick Cavett, Lucie Arnaz (who did her nightclub act) and Alex Trebek who hosted trivia games. Ben and Illeana Douglas were the hosts.
Novack was quite interesting talking about Hitchcock and her bipolar disorder. The moment the suckered me in and made me glad I went was when Novack presented Vertigo. She did an interview with Ben and then after they stood up to leave she went center stage and got kind of emotional. She said I hope you love the picture. That's all we wanted-was for you to love it. Then she started stammering and crying a bit and saying that's all she ever wanted was to be loved. It's what Jimmy Stewart wanted. It was what Hitchcock wanted. Then she was sort of just standing there awkwardly grasping for what to say. A guy in the audience yelled we love you Kim. That satisfied her and she left the stage with Ben and the film started.
It kind of was such a nice moment it melted my cynical why am I here heart.

Huge admirer of TCM and all of their presenters (especially Alicia Malone and Eddie Muller).
I understand why they try to sell some branded content, but I speed through the TCM Wine Club advertisements and often the book promotions, too. I will say the wine ads have improved since the time they featured a British wine “curator” who explained some of their selections. She was pretty awful, so wooden and pretentious.

I’ll never forgive Rita Moreno for trashing Natalie Wood on TCM while rehashing that bullshit about how Rita should have been seriously considered as Maria in “West Side Story”. She hated the idea that Jerry Robbins and Robert Wise loved Natalie.
It was a threeway Zoom conversation with Russ Tamblin and George Chakiris with Ben Mankiewicz and they weren’t having it, cut Rita off and talked about how great Natalie was.
