Will Packer's hit 2017 film "Girls Trip" has been modified to a VH1 reality show format called "Girls Cruise" featuring three R&B/hip hop stars Lil Kim, Mya and TLC's Chilli.

Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, who has lived in Atlanta for many years and still tours with TLC, did two seasons of a VH1 reality dating show called "What Chilli Wants" in 2010 and 2011.

Chilli never did find the man of her dreams from reality TV but maybe this cruise will do the trick.

Lil Kim - who was part of that "Lady Marmalade" No. 1 hit cover with Mya back in 2001 - is the executive producer. She has a new album set to be released this summer as well.

Others on the ship: Pretty Vee and B. Simone form MTV's "Wild N' Out," and Kim's best friends Tiffany and Char.
The network's sell point: "As they travel through the Caribbean, the crew hits the high seas on an epic journey filled with hilarious adventures, emotional breakthroughs and spicy romances as they cultivate bonds and unapologetically live their best lives."
