Best NEWS & Best PHOTOS of this week: The Love Boat Cast Reunites 30 Years After

Aww, oh my God, get your tissues ready guys as this actually made me shed a tear or two!
How many of us remember the TV series The Love Boat back in the day?
Well, the cast, the original cast, reunited in Florida 3 days ago! 
Choi, this is so darn nostalgic....*sobs*
Classic series: The Love Boat aired for ten seasons from 1977 - 1987

For ten seasons, audiences watched every week as passengers and the ship's crew navigated romantic adventures aboard the hit series The Love Boat.
And 27 years after going off the air in 1987, the original cast of the Aaron Spelling show - and some of its most notable guest stars - reunited in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Wednesday.
The star-studded gathering was all orchestrated in order to coincide with the launch of the new Princess Cruise ship, the Regal Princess.
All six main Love Boat stars, Fred Grandy (Gopher, the chief purser), Ted Lange (Isaac, the bartender), Bernie Kopell (Doc, the ship's doctor), Lauren Tewes (cruise director, Julie), Gavin MacLeod (Captain Stubing) and Jill Whelan (Vicki, the captain's daughter), showed up dressed in their old work uniforms.
Joining them was a slew of actors that made guest appearances as passengers throughout the show's run from 1977 - 1987.
One of the most notables being the queen of the cuchi-cuchi, Charo. The curvaceous beauty - who according to IMBD is 69 - starred on the ABC series a staggering eight times.
Defying her years, the Spanish actress showed off her slender legs and generous cleavage in a short floral dress and neutral heels.
Reading like a who's who of '70s and '80s television stars, others in attendance included Loni Anderson, Joyce DeWitt, Lorenzo Lamas, Brady Bunch's Florence Henderson and Happy Days mom Marion Ross.
The popular show was one of a long list of popular programs produced by late entertainment mogul Aaron Spelling.
His daughter Tori Spelling took to Twitter to express her sadness of not being able to attend the once in a lifetime event.
'Sad to miss the #LoveBoat reunion on @PrincessCruises new #RegalPrincess. Those were amazing times! #DadWouldBeProud,' she wrote to her over 1mil followers.
The True Tori star elaborated further in a post on her blog where she revealed: 'The Love Boat was my favorite show that my Dad produced.'
She added: 'I know every Saturday night we watched it as a family, and I’m so sad for health reasons to be missing this unbelievable reunion. Its such an amazing tribute to my Dad’s legacy.
'I remember myself guest starring two times on the Love Boat! I was just a babe and getting my start as an actress.
'The cast and crew were always so kind to me. It was amazing times. I have great family memories on The Love Boat. Both personally and professionally.'
