So, Bruce and a fellow passenger (Laurie Prange) get together. A man (Leslie Nielsen) is having second thoughts, about age differences, in marrying a woman (Lynda Day George) who is 21 years younger. A new nurse (Elaine Joyce), on staff for the cruise, is a pretty ex-showgirl.

- In "Parents Know Best", Harry and Phyllis Morrison take the cruise with their son Bruce in hopes of helping him forget his old girlfriend Ginger and to play matchmaker for him. They think they've found someone in the person of Diana Lane, a young woman who is traveling alone. But Bruce already knows Diana under another name. Merrill's old friend Dan Michaels shares "A Selfless Love" with his fiancee Laura Wakefield, even though she's over twenty years younger than he is and frequently mistaken for his daughter. This, plus the attention Dan receives from World War II USO singer Glenda Fairbanks, leads Dan and Laura to question whether or not they really should marry. "A Nubile Nurse" joins the crew in the person of Dawn Delaney, a former Las Vegas showgirl who is so good at practicing medicine that she upstages Doc in the examination room. During all of this, Merrill suffers from an unending case of the hiccups.
