everything in this house safe for the drywall and maybe the toilet is from an ocean liner

the pilot episodes were shot on board the sun princess completely different ship much smaller not nearly as glamorous as the island and Pacific

the Pacific princess was a little larger than the sun princess and far more luxurious and she had two swimming pools

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look for the glass wall above the lifeboats to identify the Sun Princess in Love Boat episodes
Check for a bronze sculpture of the seven continents in the lobby to distinguish the Pacific Princess
Notice the bronze girl by the pool on the Island Princess versus a bronze boy on the Pacific Princess

YouTube Video Description

On October 28, 2002, during the Love Boat Reunion Cruise on board @princesscruises DISCOVERY PRINCESS, Peter Knego joined cruise director DuVaul Gamble in the Princess Theater to discuss the three ships used in the original Love Boat series and how to distinguish which scenes were shot on board or in the studio. Two excellent films made by Eric Allen Productions tell the story of how Knego has rebuilt his home into a haven of cruise ship and ocean liner remnants and describe how Knego rescued specific items from one of the original Love Boats, the ISLAND PRINCESS. ISLAND PRINCESS was the twin sister ship of the namesake ship in the series, the PACIFIC PRINCESS and identical in most aspects, save for interior color schemes and artworks. Cruise Director DuVaul Gamble asks some fun questions and is the perfect host for this onstage discussion and celebration of the original Love Boats. With commentary from Fred Grandy, who played "Gopher" on the Love Boat. #discoveryprincess #duvaulgamble #ericallenproductions #princesscruise #princesscruiseline #theloveboat #fredgrandy
