Did you know
- TriviaThe film was shot in May 1989, on a small, weathered cruise ship that sailed for a week from New Orleans to Cancun, Mexico. It was going to the Miss Universe Pageant, and was filled with 50 past and present beauty queens from all over the United States.
- GoofsNot only is the same shot of the cruise ship used each time to portray the ship at sea, but the shot is of the ship at anchorage. The anchor chain can be seen going into the water and the ship is not moving.
