The program was based on her 1974 book, Love Boats,[3] her anecdotal account of her time employed as the first full-time female cruise director. Saunders was the author of Omarr's Astrological Forecast,[4] a nationally syndicated horoscope column read by hundreds of thousands worldwide and that was originally created by Sydney Omarr, to whom she was briefly married in 1966.
