Could it BE any more fun?
If the recent reunion of everybody’s favorite Friends isn’t enough for you, a theme cruise that celebrates the iconic ’90s TV show will take place May 15 to May 21, 2022, on Celebrity Equinox. The cruise ship will leave from Fort Lauderdale, with scheduled ports of Key West, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.
Like many theme cruises, the sailing is being put together by an outside company, the travel agency Fan World Travel. It is a partial charter of the ship, with events dedicated solely for people who book through the agency’s site Cruise With Friends.
The site promises Friends-themed costume contests, trivia games and more: “Get ready to eat like Joey, joke like Chandler, cook like Monica, shop like Rachel, yoga like Phoebe and dig like Ross.”

No actors from the show are scheduled to be on the cruise. But we speak from experience when we say that there’s nothing like being on a cruise with 1,000 other people who love the same TV show that you do.
