The True Story Behind The Office's Iconic "Booze Cruise" Episode
Two veteran cast members of The Office have spilled the beans on the classic early episode, «Booze Cruise», revealing a true story that includes a major milestone for the series, a real-life celebration, and several series regulars almost getting lost at sea. The Office season 2, episode 11 famously saw the characters of Dunder Mifflin embark on a late-night «motivational» cruise on Lake Wallenpaupack—in the dead of winter. Directed by Ken Kwapis, «Booze Cruise» was an important episode for the cast and crew when it premiered in 2006, marking several key changes that would allow The Office to move past the anxiety-ridden uncertainty of being a young, unproven sitcom in its early years.
