· Dating at Sea (w/t) – Daters from all over the world board the ultimate singles cruise, but what they don’t know is there’s a major barrier to finding love – the language barrier, because no one on board speaks the same language. Who will find international love while sailing through international waters?

Now, the time-honored tradition continues with a new group of roommates moving into their own Shore house.
