Via Showroom 212

If you were looking forward to spending a few days at sea sipping Cousin Johnnie's white sangria and hobnobbing with the Deen clan aboard Paula Deen's Family Cruise, maybe think again: according to Deen's personal assistant, the 7-day excursion to Honduras, Belize and Cozumel is more Metamucil than Miss Georgia's Cherry Pie, and he wants out.

Brandon Branch, who also serves as Deen's creative director, has been tweeting about the trip since it set sail from Galveston, Texas on January 27th. And shockingly, it's not quite the "exciting party at sea" it's advertised to be: Branch's tweets describe the ship as a "floating nursing home" and has been (jokingly?) begging his buddies to rescue him.

He also didn't seem to be a huge fan of the onboard entertainment:

But before you break out the world's tiniest violin to serenade Branch's sad story, take heart, because it appears to have a happy ending!

No word yet on whether there are hot tubs filled with butter onboard, though, because despite Branch's review, we'd totally snap up tickets for the next cruise in a second if so, with or without the Senior Singers.
