Captain Crowther's lot is not a happy one! Five of his crew have to be replaced and at such short notice before the voyage begins there isn't much to choose from. Not only does he get the five most in...( read more  read more... )competent shipmates ever to sail the seven seas, but the passengers turn out to be a rather strange bunch too.

    A funny Carry on film set aboard a cruise ship.
  • March 19, 2007
    More formulaic fun, this time aboard ship. A little more subtle than most, but it's hardly Noel Coward.
  • April 1, 2008
    Its not anywhere near their best outing but its still a carry on. You gotta watch it.

    Although missing some of the regular cast members (Joan Sims and Charles Hawtrey), this Carry On is one of the better ones in the series. The script is sharp with some great gags deftly delivered by the ensemble. Sid James plays the experienced Captain of a cruise liner in charge...( read more) of a crew with some inexperienced new recruits. This is the perfect setup for a series of disasters and the film duly delivers. Cruising is one of the earlier Carry Ons (first in colour) and maybe because of this, everyone seems fresh and on top of their game. The editing complements the script and the cast seem to have an energy which sometimes flags later in the series. The newer cast members keep the mix interesting and stand out performances from the wonderful Esma Cannon, Kenneth Williams (shower scene !) and Sid James combine to produce one of the definitive Carry Ons.
