Every episode featured a special
guest star, often
Charo. Any time a
black woman appeared on the
ship, you knew she would become
romantically involved with
Isaac the
bartender.
The theme was sung by crooner Jack Jones:
Love, exciting and new
Come aboard, we're expecting you.
Love, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.
The Love Boat, soon will be making another run
The Love Boat, promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.
Love won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes, love! It's love!
Welcome aboard, it's love!
