It was based on an original story by Eric Barker. P&O – Orient Lines were thanked in the credits. Regulars Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Kenneth Connor appear in the film, whereas Joan Sims and Charles Hawtrey do not. Sims took ill shortly before filming began and was replaced by Dilys Laye, making her Carry On debut, at four days' notice. Hawtrey was dropped for demanding star billing and more money, but returned for the next entry, making this the only entry during Hawtrey's 23-film run which he missed. Sims returned two years later in Carry On Cleo. Liz Fraser notches up the second of her four appearances here. Lance Percival makes his only appearance in the series in Carry On Cruising, playing the ship's chef, the role originally designated for Hawtrey. The Australian actor Vincent Ball also makes his first, of two, Carry On appearances. This was the last film to have its screenplay written by Norman Hudis. This film was notable for being the first in the series to be filmed in colour. The film was followed by Carry On Cabby (1963). ## Credits - **Director:** [Ralph Thomas](https://cinepixo.com/people/ralph-thomas), [Gerald Thomas](https://cinepixo.com/people/gerald-thomas) - **Screenplay:** [Norman Hudis](https://cinepixo.com/people/norman-hudis) - **Original Music Composer:** [Douglas Gamley](https://cinepixo.com/people/douglas-gamley), [Edmund Crispin](https://cinepixo.com/people/edmund-crispin), [Eric Rogers](https://cinepixo.com/people/eric-rogers) - **Producer:** [Peter Rogers](https://cinepixo.com/people/peter-rogers) - **Director of Photography:** [Alan Hume](https://cinepixo.com/people/alan-hume) - **Editor:** [John Shirley](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-shirley) ## Cast - [Kenneth Williams](https://cinepixo.com/people/kenneth-williams) - [Ronnie Stevens](https://cinepixo.com/people/ronnie-stevens) - [Vincent Ball](https://cinepixo.com/people/vincent-ball) - [Brian Rawlinson](https://cinepixo.com/people/brian-rawlinson) - [Esma Cannon](https://cinepixo.com/people/esma-cannon) - [Liz Fraser](https://cinepixo.com/people/liz-fraser) - [Dilys Laye](https://cinepixo.com/people/dilys-laye) - [Kenneth Connor](https://cinepixo.com/people/kenneth-connor) - [Sid James](https://cinepixo.com/people/sid-james) - [Lance Percival](https://cinepixo.com/people/lance-percival) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
