| Tuesday, Dec 30, 2014

Princess Cruises will be appearing in its first-ever Rose Parade in Pasadena with a float featuring the original cast of The Love Boat television show.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the cruise line, the cast will be riding on the ship’s bow as it cruises down the 5-1/2 mile parade route.

The winner of the “inspiring stories” essay contest, Paula Abbott,  will also be joining the cast on the bow of the ship.

Abbott won the contest after writing an essay about a World War II veteran’s Memorial Day return to the South Pacific.

The Love Boat cast set to be aboard the float includes Gavin MacLeod, Fred Grandy, Ted Lange, Bernie Kopell, Lauren Tewes and Jill Whelan.rose-bowl-parade-coming-soon-640x480
