I'm a sucker for cruise mystery, though this episode isn't so much a mystery. We know who the villains are - Ron moody who plays a captain of the ship and Peter Haskell is the ship doctor. They are counterfeiters, and are responsible for the murder of an investigator, which prompts
Jennifer and Jonathan to go on a cruise; Jennifer is posing as a European countess and Jonathan as a ship's steward. This is a fun episode and features a clever little scheme to stop the counterfeiters.

Hart to Hart Meets the Love Boat!
HilaryElizabeth912 March 2009
What a fun episode! It kicks off with a burial of sea and never a dull moment from there, as the Harts stumble on to quite the intricate scam. Not only is this story really fun and the acting great, but these sets are straight from The Love Boat. I mean STRAIGHT. From the Lido deck to the state rooms to the Infirmary, this was like two shows in one. The surreptitiousness and sneaking around between Jonathan and Jennifer is at its best, and the stateroom scene where Jonathan is hiding int he bathroom is nothing short of Three's Company brilliance. But the best line of dialogue goes to Max when he comes on board and says, "I don't know, but I've never been to a crap game before that really floated!" Runner up: " I oughtta get an Oscar for this ... Maybe I should get an Emmy, as well." Pick me up off the floor, I'm dyin', here! Stefanie wears a black dress that would be classic haute couture beautiful even today. The guest stars were all great, especially Joan Shawlee in a small but effective role as Mrs. Goodrich. Every time I thought I knew where this one was going, it went somewhere else. Must give due to writer Allyn Freeman and director Harry Mastrogeorge. Nicely done, this one.
