"The Golden Girls [trip] was inspired by my two favourite things, Golden Girls and cruising," he said. "It seemed like a perfect fit, as the Golden Girls lived in Miami and you could see them all jumping aboard a cruise boat. There is the one episode where they go to a tropical island and it's a complete disaster." Cruise travelers who are also fans of the Golden Girls television show will be able to enjoy a special themed cruise making its comeback in 2023, dubbed Golden Fans at Sea.

During the cruise guests will participate in Golden Girls themed trivia, bar crawls, dance parties, costume contests, panels, beach excursions, musical shows, and more. During the cruise guests will have the option to participate in Golden Girls themed trivia, bar crawls, dance parties, costume contests, panels, beach excursions, musical shows, and more. The Golden Girls aired on NBC for seven seasons from 1985 to 1992, and starred Betty White as Rose, and the late actresses Bea Arthur as Dorothy, Rue McClanahan as Blanche and Estelle Getty as Sophia.

Guests will also embark on a Golden Girls themed bar crawl in Key West, Florida and have precious one on one time with Golden Girls writers, producers, and legends. The cruise will depart from Miami, Florida, on April 8, 2023, and make two stops during its five-night journey—Key West, Florida, and Cozumel, Mexico. Fans will be treated to a bar crawl in Key West and a beach day in Cozumel that boasts "roundtrip transportation, unlimited open bar, buffet, 200-foot waterslides, two pools, and more." There are two exciting excursions for fans which will include a Golden Fans bar crawl in Key West and an unlimited open bar, a buffet, 200-foot waterslides, and two pools in Cozumel. Much like other pop culture cruises out there, including a "Harry Potter" river cruise and a Walking Dead themed cruise, this trip is packed with themed activities that fans can get excited about. If you were a fan of the American sitcom, The Golden Girls, you might want to get on board a five-night cruise themed around the popular NBC series.

Almost everyone there (including me) nearly lost their voices singing out loud we were so wrapping up in the fun (apologies to anyone nearby without those headphones on). One major highlight of not only the final day but of the entire cruise for me was the 80s-themed silent disco. Guests dressed up in their favorite 80s attire and wore provided noise-canceling headphones. The headphones had three different DJ sets available to choose from and illuminated either yellow, green or red to indicate which one the wearer was jamming to -- and that makes finding new dancing partners a cinch. Our beach bumming day ended with an evening solarium and pool party back on the ship, which was certainly welcomed for soothing my sunburned skin. The first full day at sea included an abundance of things to do, starting with Rose's Saint Olaf Bingo (nope, I didn't win anything) and was immediately followed by a celebrity panel on the Golden Girls.

The five-night golden getaway will begin in Miami, Florida, and take up to 1,000 guests to Key West, Florida, and Cozumel, Mexico, from April 8 through April 12, 2023. The cruise will take place on a redesigned ship called Celebrity Summit that will bring Shady Pines to life. There were times where I didn't have a costume to wear (or simply didn't feel like wearing one for just a moment, like at the celebrity panels) and that was welcomed, too.

More than 100 people walk to help end drunk driving

Fellow Golden fans are affable and open to anyone, no matter your size, shape, color or favorite Golden Girls character (shoutout to my fellow Blanche fans). Whether you're an avid cruiser or a first-time cruiser, you would fit in perfectly on a Golden Girls-themed cruise as well. I met people of all kinds of cruising backgrounds who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The bar crawl included four quirky bars in Key West, all of which were impressively decorated with various Golden Girls-themed items specifically for us. Plus, their cocktails were at a special discount solely for our crew (including the glittery and surprisingly delicious "Unicorn Pee Cocktail" at 22&Co). Looking for new pals and confidants with whom to eat cheesecake, dance in vibrant caftans and share your mutual love for The Golden Girls?

Princess Cruises announced its new production show, Spotlight Bar, would debut in April onboard the cruise line's newest ship, Discovery Princess. Prices start at $1,000 per passenger for an inside stateroom and around $2,500 for a deluxe ocean-view balcony cabin, while a two-person suite ranges from $3,400 to $14,500. All bookings include a free drink package and admission to all Golden Fans at Sea events and activities.

Guests almost always wore vibrant outfits throughout the sailing, most of which being costumes in direct connection with the Golden Girls. Imagine caftans, gray wigs, gigantic "granny" glasses, gaudy jewelry galore and shimmering everything. All were commonplace at every Golden Fans at Sea event, but also often when Golden fans wandered around the ship on their down time. Many Golden cruisers had stated that they had made life-long friendships during their Golden Girls-themed cruise -- and we can agree with them with gusto.

The cruise will encompass some of its most familiar elements, such as a cheesecake party, Dorothy's bingo, a karaoke party, bar crawl and craft corner. There will also be a costume party, a dance party and Golden Girls-themed stage shows and drag queens. In addition, guests will enjoy Celebrity’s regular entertainment programme, which includes Broadway-style theatre, circus shows, comedy, magic, dance and live music. On-board activities will include a Key West bar crawl and an “ultimate beach party” in Cozumel, as well as “Golden Girls” themed trivia, dance parties, costume contests, guest panels, live entertainment and more, according to a press release.

Each individual character brings her own unique and affable personality, and their unwavering friendships and love for one another are palpable and endearing. The show was not only relatable and comical, but it was also impressively progressive for its time, raising numerous social issues like no other show before it. Even though Sophia last wise cracked in 1992, Golden Girls has tons of fans who were born after the series finale aired.

The Golden Girls aired from 1985 to 1992 and stars Bea Arthur (Dorothy Zbornak), Betty White (Rose Nylund), Estelle Getty (Sophia Petrillo) and Rue McClanahan (Blanche Devereaux). This upcoming trip may be bittersweet for some fans due to the recent passing of Betty White who played Rose Nylund on the show. During the cruise, fans will have the opportunity to honor and celebrate her memory as a Golden Girl. The show has a dedicated fan base who can’t get enough of all things Golden Girls. While it doesn't appear that the gals themselves will be sailing with you on the Celebrity Infinity Cruise Ship, the trip will connect you with others who love Golden Girls just as much as you do.

It's basically the girls from Sex and the City in 30 years after they've moved to Miami, you know, if Miranda was Carrie's mom. Booking prices begin around $1,000 per person for a standard cabin to around $1,200 for a deluxe cabin with a balcony, and each ticket includes an unlimited drinks package. The special cruise is organized by Flip Phone Events and will take place on the luxurious Celebrity Infinity cruise ship, according to CNN. Donald Wood is TravelPulse’s senior news editor, bringing nearly 15 years of experience to the desk. Travelers are welcomed to channel their inner Rose, Blanche, Dorothy and Sophia as they sail the high seas. There were some moments and situations, however, that were a little uncomfortable.

The five-night, immersive cruise includes Golden Girls themed trivia, costume contests, bar crawls, beach excursions and more, and will visit Key West, Florida and Cozumel, Mexico. Themed cruises are all the rage these days, so it was only a matter of time before the girls got their very own. In January, Disney Cruise Line announced a series of all-new Pixar Day at Sea aboard special sailings on the Disney Fantasy in early 2023. The day-long celebrations will take place on nine select seven-night Disney Cruise Line voyages between January and March 2023 and feature themed dining, character encounters, dance parties and theatrical musical experiences. During the Golden Fans at Sea Cruise, guests will be able to enjoy karaoke, celebrity dress-up parties, trivia, celebrity panels, parodies, and more. “This year we are thrilled to announce that all cruise bookings include the ‘Shady Pines Beach Excursion’ in Cozumel,” Golden Fans At Sea producer Chad Kampe tells Hornet.

You don't have to be the world's biggest Golden Girls fan to have a good time on this cruise. As long as you have at least seen the series and know some references, you're bound to enjoy it. I personally have seen the show all the way through when I was much younger and binge-watched it again in preparation for this experience. While I may not have known every obscure quote and scene, I still managed to enjoy myself overall. Do you love the Golden Girls, laughing, traveling, raunchy jokes and making new pals and confidants? The fifth and final day of our cruise kicked off with the second celebrity panel where the same group shared even more fun facts and anecdotes about the show and actresses.

Others wore common cruise clothes quite often as well, because, after all, wearing a caftan and wig on the beach in Mexico isn't exactly a comfortable situation. A large portion of fans are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, making it one of the most welcoming, friendly and open-minded groups. There is even an active private Facebook group available to facilitate camaraderie and extend friendships beyond the sailing itself.
