Warning: Spoilers
In "Danger Below Deck" (aka, "Sugar"), Chloe and Melanie agree to take an all-expenses paid cruise along the coast of South America and to the South Pacific. It seems like an adverture that is too good to be true.... And it turns out that it WAS too good to be true!

The two women bond and become minor celebrities with their posts and photos. They are always taking selfies and building up a large group of followers. As the cruise proceeds, the two women build up more and more "likes" from their online admirers. They also will be "tagged"....much more painfully than they would ever expect!

The film scenario was clumsy in the development of individual scenes as the women become enmeshed with some very bad men. Soon, they are caught up in a massive drug smuggling operation and fear for their lives if they do not comply.

While the filming was attractive with dynamic backgrounds on the cruise ships and in the ports, the substance was shallow with situations that were not very credible. It made no sense that the women would try to carry the large bags of cocaine off the ship undetected. What was their purpose, and why were they reluctant to alert the authorities in Sydney?

Sorry, but this critic is unable to give a "like" to this clunker of a film.
