Throw a party and invite everyone you know: a Golden Girls cruise is coming soon
Aux Features Golden GirlsPicture it: Miami, 2020. Fans will soon get to board a Golden Girls-themed cruise. Honestly, this development is better than even your best cheesecake.
The cruise will embark on February 24, 2020 from Miami and will make stops at Key West and Cozumel, Mexico before returning on Feb 29. A cabin will reportedly cost $1000 per guest and the voyage will include a “One Night in St. Olaf” dance party and a “The Rusty Anchor Karaoke Party,” where anyone can get the chance to be Dorothy Zbornak for an evening. It’ll also likely include days of hearing, “Oh, I’m definitely the Sophia of my group,” but if there were ever an environment fitting for such declarations, it would be this one.
While the sitcom ended in 1992, it continues to cultivate a very lively fan base thanks to its syndicated presence. After hosting a number of highly successful Golden Girls bar crawls, Minneapolis-based party promoters Flip Phone Events chose to take the fun to the high seas.
“The show was and is still groundbreaking,” Flip Phone co-owner Chad Kampe told Hornet. “They tackled issues like HIV/AIDS, sexuality and aging with such grace and humor.”
The obvious question here is, will guests get to play a few tipsy rounds of Golden Girls Clue? A cruise isn’t a cruise without some stolen desserts and a good mystery.

I loved this show as a kid. Obviously I couldn’t relate to it and I certainly didn’t understand all the innuendo. (so. many. old man dick jokes.) The set and the sass are what I liked, I guess. I marathoned it recently and it’s still such a good show. Their lifestyle and rattan furnishings are my aspirations for old age.
There’s one joke that is so raunchy and subtle I just understood it recently. Betty White is talking about how her husband died while they were having sex and ends the story with “I did think it was kind of strange when he started yelling ‘Rose, I’m going! I’m going!”
My sister is going to be batshit happy about this.
I remember Rue McClanahan being on a late-night British talk show years ago and coming out with the gag ‘Why is receiving oral sex from Betty White like walking a tightrope over Niagra Falls?’ ‘Whatever you do, don’t look down…..’
So basically, a gay cruise, huh?
I’m gonna get so much old lady ass in February 2020
Take my money- how do I buy tickets?
Not gonna lie, I recently saw the “Rose might have AIDS” episode for the first time and I was legitimately shook.
the voyage will include a “One Night in St. Olaf” dance party
Is Betty White involved?
Picture it: I’m in the ICU for 6 days after having a seizure in the ER. I have to lay still because wires and tubes are sticking out of me, I have to pee in a pan, I’m not allowed to eat for four days. They won’t let me sleep, so I watch Golden Girls 24/6. I never want to see that show again.Party On.
