What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, The Real Love Boat TV show is inspired by the 1977-86 scripted comedy-drama series The Love Boat. It’s hosted by spouses Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell. This new series brings singles together as they look for love on a real ship, the Regal Princess, and cruise through the Mediterranean. Couples’ compatibility and chemistry are tested by destination dates, challenges, and the addition of new singles. As in the scripted series, members of the crew play pivotal roles in the matchmaking and navigation of the romantic (and sometimes turbulent) waters ahead. They include the captain (Captain Paolo Arrigo), cruise director (Matt Mitcham), and bartender (Ezra Freeman). After nearly a month at sea, only one winning couple will dock in the final port and take home a cash prize as well as a once-in-a-lifetime trip courtesy of Princess Cruises.
Season One Ratings
The first season of The Real Love Boat averages a 0.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.89 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Real Love Boat stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
As of March 13, 2025, The Real Love Boat has not been cancelled or renewed for a second season. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew The Real Love Boat for season two? This show is based on an established brand (which CBS owns) and is sandwiched between two popular reality series, Survivor and The Amazing Race, on Wednesday nights. I think The Real Love Boat is very likely to be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on The Real Love Boat cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Do you hope that The Real Love Boat TV show will be renewed for a second season? How would you feel if CBS cancelled this TV series, instead?
CBS just put this show to Paramount Plus streamer after only a few episodes in! That is AWFUL. Paramount streamer just got a low rating, and so did CBS. NOT FAIR. We pay a LOT for cable and you FORCE us to buy a streamer to see the end of a show? Shame on you. Won’t watch this nightly line up anymore.
