In Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania 3, Mavis surprises Dracula with a family voyage on a luxury monster cruise ship so he can take a summer vacation from providing everyone else's vacation at the hotel, and the rest of Drac’s Pack cannot resist tagging along. The monsters are all having a great time, indulging in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to colossus sized buffets and exotic excursions, but then the unexpected happens as Drac falls for the intriguing-yet-dangerous captain of the ship. Balancing family, friends, and a budding romance might just be too much, even for the most powerful vampire. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Although the previous episodes couldn’t be called peak entertainment, they were fun (though often quite childish), but the third one is a dud with a dozen characters running around screaming and saying something here and there. The story had a promising idea, but it feels lousy, just like the secondary characters, who are clearly out of funny ammo. At least, in a grotesque and original way, it wants to deliver an important message and presents evidence that modern music is evil both for the ears and the soul. ()
The spooky gang goes on holiday and Dracula falls in love. Unfortunately, with a captain who comes from the family of his greatest enemies... Hotel Transylvania 3 doesn't come with anything new, but if you're a fan of the previous two, you won't be bored. After all, it's just as likeable, cutely styled and full of fun characters, and with such a cadence of jokes that it doesn't matter if half of them don't really work. A fine animated slapstick. ()
By the third film, the original theme was pretty much exhausted. The Hotel Transylvania films have become a series of Halloween pranks and gags. The shorts and the TV series maintain a much more interesting level. ()
