Viewers of Christmas Cruising were divided after comedian Susan Calman‘s debut this series.
The show Crusing With… was previously hosted by former Loose Women panelist Jane McDonald.
But comedian Susan is steering the boat for a festive special.
What did viewers say about Susan Calman presenting Christmas Cruising?
Susan’s debut on the Channel 5 programme was met with mixed opinions.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “This is just terrible, so many presenters to choose from to fill Jane’s boots…”
I so want to go on a cruise with Susan Calman.
A second wrote: “How dare they take Jane McDonald off. WE WANT JANE, WE WANT JANE.”
And a third said: “I think Susan is going a bit bonkers with the invented pronunciations even the Norwegians are turning their noses up at (laughing emoji). Just no need.”
But other people were far more impressed.

“Absolutely loving Susan Calman. Just love her infectious laughter, I really want to do that cruise.”
Another said: “What a brilliant show tonight. Susan you are just a delight.”
While someone else wrote: “I so want to go on a cruise with Susan Calman.”
The first of two shows saw Susan start out in chilly Dover, meet her shipmates and travel to the southern Norwegian city of Stavenger.
