Her mum and sister are convinced Chelsea''s boyfriend Adam will propose on the ship. Chelsea''s sure he won''t, but she can''t help feeling butterflies as they set sail. Is Adam going to pop the question, or will the only thing to pop be Chelsea''s ego?

Onboard dramas, family upheavals, memories and sunshine . . . Fall in love with the Benson family, and treat yourself to a five-star family cruise, all without leaving your sofa.
