As the boat calmly sets sail, everyone is enjoying getting into character, especially Alvirah, who may or may not be the “murderess” in the mystery game.

Movie Review:

When a murder mystery games turns into real murder during their "leisurely" cruise, best friends Alvirah Meehan and Regan Reilly determine they must solve this case. To complicate matters more, each person aboard the ship is portraying a different costumed character in the mystery game challenge. Everyone on the ship becomes suspect - from bow to stern! The question is... how rocky will the waters become?

"The Mystery Cruise" is full of intrigue, and it's funny, too! Can Alvirah and Regan somehow work together and solve this mystery before someone is thrown overboard? You'll have to watch and see!


See or Skip:

This is a fun mystery, but please note... it is a murder mystery, so it may not be suitable for young viewers.

Otherwise, I think most Hallmark mystery watchers would enjoy this one! Definitely one to "sea"!
