Watched online, mediocre print. I wonder if this is cropped to appear ws, because there's a closeup scene with chins cut off.

5 songs in the Soundtracks, 2 without performers. Neither seem to be the "teenage vamp" and "baby please come home" songs sung by JLF.

I liked the prior Joey Dee film, Hey, Let's Twist! (1961), 6+, but this one tried my patience. 

Lots of plot, and it's bad. The couple take along a chaperone, so it's 3 tickets, not 2. Aboard ship, a jealous French gal keeps kissing Joey to make her mate jealous, but it makes Joey's girl jealous, of course. I think both couples reconciled before the end. When they depart ship, the movie ends.
