* FanonDiscontinuity: Fans of the original series decide to forget that ''The Real Love Boat'' ever existed, as it was essentially just ''Series/LoveIsland'' on a boat.

* UncertainAudience: Why ''The Real Love Boat'' failed so hard, despite heavy promotion. Fans of the original series were not happy to see it turned into a generic dating reality show, and those who would be interested in reality shows wouldn't care about that it was themed after a decades-old anthology series.

* ActorAllusion: Surprisingly defied as several times, stars would play much different roles than their more famous parts.
** One episode does have Bernie Koppel as a German police inspector with an accent not unlike [[Series/GetSmart Siegfried]].
** One episode had [[Series/TheBradyBunch Florence Henderson and Robert Reed]] in separate storylines. For one brief moment, they meet at a buffet table, nod to each other and then give puzzled looks of "don't I know you?" before shrugging and moving on.
** One of the TV movies has Creator/PeterGraves talking of having once worked for the government but "I suppose the [[Series/MissionImpossible secretary would disavow my actions..."]]



* HarsherInHindsight: Curiously enough, the ship itself. According to police reports, it apparently became a major transport for drug smugglers in the Mediterranean during the late 1990s, and during its recent trip to be scrapped, two workers died and eight were injured after inhaling toxic gas in the engine room while trying to correct a list brought on by flooding.

* {{Hatedom}}: At one point it was the least popular show on television among American viewers aged 16-25. Widely loathed internationally as well.
** Some, however, have come around to assigning the show SoBadItsGood status.
