Recently completing its 10th sailing, the 2024 TCM Classic Cruise sailed out of Fort Lauderdale, FL with stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Castaway Cay, Disney’s private-island paradise in the Bahamas on the Disney Magic. While at sea, passengers had the opportunity to attend a wide variety of TCM-themed events and activities, including film screenings and conversations with special guests including Joe Dante, Bruce Goldstein, Buddy Joe Hooker and screen stars Shaun Cassidy, Hayley and Juliet Mills, and EGOT-winning actress Rita Moreno.
TCM hosts Ben Mankiewicz, Jacqueline Stewart, Dave Karger, Eddie Muller, and Alicia Malone were also on board, ushering festivities throughout the week. Other fan events included film discussions, movie trivia games, beverage tastings, live music, and dance classes.
