Jessica accompanies her niece Pamela Crane on a cruise, at the request of her brother Marshall. Plan is for Pamela to recuperate, having suffered a breakdown after the recent death of her husband. Pamela is instantly taunted from beyond the grave, incidents occurring that could only have been caused by Pamela's husband.
Carry on Cruising indeed, the episode is a definite mix of macabre and humorous. The idea that Pamela is being tormented by her dead husband is good, adding a very dark element. That is all counter balanced by the almost slapstick side, including the comedy porter, Ramon, and his comic accent, and that infamous line 'I want to show you my hoochie coochie, it could have easily been written for Sid James. Even Jessica herself stoops to comic drunken acting, which will have you in stitches.
Leslie Nielsen is a little subdued, he'd get a much better part in next year's episode 'Dead man's gold.' The episode looks wonderfully slick, great costumes, a real quality look about it.
Bags of fun. 8/10
