History WesternAnimation / HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation

* TheGamblingAddict: Eunice won't let Frank gamble because he lost an arm and a leg last time and it wasn't easy to find replacements. He goes behind her back and gambles anyway. As a result, he now uses crab claws as replacement hands.

* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: An InUniverse example; Drac (at least initially) hates the idea of going on a cruise, telling Murray that it's "...a hotel on the water."

* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Ericka lost both parents at an early age.]]

* SaveTheVillain: [[spoiler:Drac saves Abraham Van Helsing's life. Drac had previously saved Ericka's but that [[SubvertedTrope doesn't count]] because he didn't know she's a villain back then.]]

* UnknownRival: [[spoiler: Abraham Van Helsing considers himself and Dracula mortal enemies and views him as a scourge that needs to be exterminated. Dracula barely recalls who he is and assumes he's just a rival hotelier.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: Due to most of the series' monsters being [[AdaptationalHeroism more heroic]] than their original counterparts, Abraham Van Helsing, in the context of the series' universe, is an obsessive, monster-killing bigot.

* McGuffin: The real reason behind the cruise is because Abraham believes it to be impossible to kill Drac without the artifact that sunk Atlantis.

* * ItsTheSameSoItSucks: An InUniverse example; Drac (at least initially) hates the idea of going on a cruise, telling Murray that it's "...a hotel on the water."

* ShoutOut: The cruise ship in the film, the ''Legacy'', bears a ''very'' strong resemblance to the ''[[{{UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic}} Titanic]]'' and its sister ships ''[[TheReliableOne Olympic]]'' and ''[[WeHardlyKnewYe Britannic]]'' -- the ''Legacy'' just has [[UpToEleven five funnels]] instead of four, and is rather cartoonishly shorter and fatter than the real-life ocean liners. Fortunately, however, the film takes place in the tropics, so icebergs are not a hazard.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Ericka, who pretends to be a friendly captain charmed by Drac, only to reveal later that she's actually a monster hunter--and on top of all that, she's also a direct descendant of Abraham Van Helsing (specifically, she's his great-granddaughter).
* ShoutOut: The cruise ship bears a ''very'' strong resemblance to the ''[[{{UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic}} Titanic]]'', she just has 5 smokestacks instead of 4.

The second sequel to ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania''.

Pertaining to the film's subtitle, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin you already know what this film would be all about]]. This film features the monsters, Dennis, and Jonathan taking a summer vacation and takes place a few months after the previous movie.

More than a century after his wife, Martha, died, Drac's decided to finally get into the dating scene--however, Drac has a hard time finding a good match for himself and ends up getting really stressed. Mavis, worried about her dad, decides to take him, their family and all their friends on a luxury cruise for the summer. Drac's initially unimpressed by the cruise ship, pointing out to the gang that it's basically just "a hotel ''on the water''." However, Drac ends up changing his mind when he develops feelings for the ship's mysterious captain: a human woman named Ericka. However, what Drac doesn't know is that Ericka's actually the great-granddaughter of his ancient archenemy: the notorious monster slayer, Abraham Van Helsing. Now it's time for Mavis to be the leader of the "Drac Pack" and rally up everyone so they can stop Ericka and save Dracula, before it's too late.

The film will be released on July 13, 2018 ([[ThirteenIsUnlucky Friday the 13th]]).
