»Was eignet sich besser als eine Schiffspassage, um das Personal eines Romans mit größter Zuverlässigkeit glücklich-unglücklich aufeinandertreffen zu lassen? Um das Herz der Geliebten, einer hockeyspielenden Tochter aus gutem Hause, zurückzugewinnen, hat sich der Held mit einer kapriziösen, durchsetzungsfreudigen Filmdiva herumzuschlagen, mit einem juwelenschmuggelnden Produzenten, einer Plaudertasche von Schiffssteward und einem nach Hollywood-Ruhm strebenden Romancier. Obendrein kommen verwandtschaftliche Verwicklungen ins Spiel, amouröse Verirrungen sowie Eifersucht, Intrigen und Erpressung. Munter stolpert man von einem Fettnäpfchen ins nächste und bewältigt zahllose kleinere Katastrophen, bevor am Ende drei selig vereinte Liebespaare auf dem Boden der Neuen Welt stehen.« Deutschlandradio Kultur
