This isn’t excluding TMZ reporting, but is anybody out there concerned about the health of\u00a0Tori Spelling<\/a>\u00a0because she has a job to do for\u00a0Princess Cruises<\/a>\u00a0the first week of November?<\/p>\n

The daughter of famous producer Aaron Spelling is scheduled to emcee a reunion of\u00a0The Love Boat<\/i>\u00a0cast on the\u00a0Regal Princess<\/a>\u00a0when it docks in North America on November 5. In \"Tori<\/a>the meantime, there have been (TMZ) reports that she was quarantined in a hospital “like an ebola patient” with what is now believed to be a sinus infection.<\/p>\n

Such things generally take time to disappear and the countdown until the Princess event in Florida is currently 12 days. If she’s unable to make it (her dad produced\u00a0The Love Boat<\/i>), there will be plenty of talent on hand. The six major cast members from the legendary TV show are all going to be in\u00a0Fort Lauderdale<\/a>\u00a0to christen the Regal Princess\u2026and to be the ship’s “godparents.”<\/p>\n

That would be\u00a0Gavin MacLeod<\/a>\u00a0(Captain Stubing),\u00a0Fred Grandy<\/a>\u00a0(Gopher),\u00a0Ted Lange<\/a>\u00a0(Isaac),\u00a0Bernie Kopell<\/a>\u00a0(Doc),\u00a0Lauren Tewes<\/a>\u00a0(Julie) and\u00a0Jill Whelan<\/a>\u00a0(Vicki). And if any \"Love<\/a>of them is too busy smashing the champagne against the Regal’s bow, many other talented talkers are scheduled to be on deck, among them\u00a0Florence Henderson<\/a>,\u00a0Diane Ladd<\/a>,\u00a0Dick Van Patten<\/a>,\u00a0Frank Sinatra Jr.<\/a>,\u00a0MacKenzie Phillips<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jack Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Talk about bench strength!<\/p>\n

On the subject of love on a boat\u2026<\/p>\n

Princess is marketing newlyweds to spend their honeymoons on a cruise ship by introducing a\u00a0Honeymoon Wishes Registry<\/i>, where couples can sign up and choose from a list of options that range from shore excursions to drinks by the pool. The cost of their choices is applied as an on-board credit to the honeymooners’ account.<\/p>\n

This is the cruise line that made maritime and marriage history 16 years ago by having the captain join a bride and groom in marriage. According to Princess, it was the first time a ship’s captain had performed a wedding ceremony, and it has led to many weddings at sea, a “Tie The Knot” program on the ship and in ports and annual Valentine’s Day cruises of renewal vows.<\/p>\n

And now\u2026the\u00a0Honeymoon Wishes Registry<\/i>.<\/p>\n

On the subject of anniversaries…<\/p>\n

This is a big one for Princess. The cruise line’s 50th year begins the day after the Regal Princess is christened, November 6. The first Princess ship sailed down the coast of Mexico \u2014 like\u00a0The Love Boat\u00a0<\/i>did so many times \u2014 on November 5, 1965.<\/p>\n

The Golden Anniversary will be marked throughout 2015 with a lot of 50th anniversary themes. There will be Love Boat Disco Parties all year long. A golden balloon will drop in \"Regal\"<\/a>the atriums on every cruise. A special craft beer has been especially brewed for all Princess ships in the coming year and, along with inventive cocktails, will raise a toast called “Cheers To 50 Years.” Two 50th anniversary chocolate desserts have been created by the noted chocolatier Norman Love (hmm, did his surname help land this job?).<\/p>\n

The campaign will be launched on the Regal Princess in 12 days.<\/p>\n

Will Tori Spelling\u00a0be able\u00a0to enjoy it?<\/p>\n
