'''''Carry On Cruising''''' is a 1962 [[British comedy]] film, the sixth in the [[Carry On (film series)|series of 31 ''Carry On'' films]] (1958–1992). It was based on an original story by [[Eric Barker]]. [[P&O Cruises|P&O – Orient Lines]] were thanked in the credits. Regulars [[Sid James]], [[Kenneth Williams]] and [[Kenneth Connor]] appear in the film, whereas [[Joan Sims]] and [[Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1914)|Charles Hawtrey]] do not. Sims took ill shortly before filming began and was replaced by [[Dilys Laye]], making her ''Carry On'' debut, at four days' notice. Hawtrey was dropped for demanding star billing, but returned for the next entry, making this the only entry during Hawtrey's 23-film run which he missed. Sims returned two years later in ''[[Carry On Cleo]]''. [[Liz Fraser]] notches up the second of her four appearances here. [[Lance Percival]] makes his only appearance in the series in ''Carry On Cruising'', playing the ship's chef, the role originally designated for Hawtrey. The Australian actor [[Vincent Ball]] also makes his first, of two, ''Carry On'' appearances. This was the last film to have its screenplay written by [[Norman Hudis]]. This film was notable for being the first in the series to be filmed in colour.

==Plot==
Captain Crowther ([[Sid James]]) has five of his crew replaced at short notice before a new cruise voyage begins. Not only does he get the five most incompetent crew men ever to sail the seven seas, but the passengers turn out to be a rather strange bunch too.

The SS ''Happy Wanderer'' is the cruise ship and after this voyage, Crowther hopes to get a job as captain on a transatlantic ship, promising the crew members their jobs will be safe under the new captain. Starting off from England, the ''Happy Wanderer'' calls at unnamed ports in [[Spanish State|Spain]], Italy and North Africa before going home again.

Single ladies Gladys ([[Liz Fraser]]) and Flo ([[Dilys Laye]]) take the cruise, with Flo hoping to find a husband. Bridget ([[Esma Cannon]]) is her usual dotty and entertaining self, and one unnamed passenger ([[Ronnie Stevens (actor)|Ronnie Stevens]]) never disembarks but always goes straight to the bar to drink, to forget an unidentified woman. The crew and passengers settle in as the ship leaves port and head chef Wilfred Haines ([[Lance Percival]]) finds out he is seasick. [[Mario Fabrizi]] makes a quick appearance as one of the cooks under Haines. [[Ed Devereaux]], best known for the part of Matt Hammond in the Australian TV series 'Skippy', appears as a Young Officer.

Gladys and Flo fall for the PT instructor Mr Jenkins but nothing comes of it, especially when Flo turns out to be hopeless in the gym. Meanwhile, the new men try to impress Crowther but disaster follows disaster with him getting knocked out and covered in food at a party.

Meanwhile, ship's doctor Dr. Binn ([[Kenneth Connor]]) has fallen for Flo, but she wants nothing to do with him so he serenades her with a song after leaving Italy (''Bella Marie'', sung by Roberto Cardinali), which she does not hear as she is asleep. Gladys, who has heard the song, realises that Flo is in love with Binn and with the help of First Officer Marjoribanks ([[Kenneth Williams]]) arranges a plot for Binn and Flo to get together. It works and the confident Binn finally confesses his feelings to a gobsmacked Flo, who returns his affections.

Crowther lets the five newcomers know that they have improved since the cruise began, simply by doing their jobs and not by trying to impress him. They learn that the Captain has been in charge of the ''Happy Wanderer'' for ten years and decide to hold a surprise party for him, with the passengers. Haines bakes him a many-flavoured cake and the barman cables the former barman for the recipe of the Captain's favourite drink, the ''Aberdeen Angus''.

The party goes well and Crowther gets his telegram telling him he has the captaincy of the new ship. He turns it down as he recognises it does not have the personal touch of a cruise ship, and prefers the company of his own crew.
