Nice hospitality!
Thanks, Batty!
(In real life, the colder it gets
outside, the sooner I get hungry...)
The crew of this ship seems remarkably
stable. Even mutineers seem to decide they
want back in eventually. I don't know
what activities you would plan for
ex-mutineers, but I'm sure you'll think
of something.

I'm the Ship's Seamstress, call by the Sewing Room if you need any cruisewear, soft furnishings, fancy dress, etc, etc.

Thank you Caerwynn. I might need some custom formal wear.
Paul H - I was actually thinking of a plank-walking contest or something for the mutineers.

Hi Batty, I am the lookout and you can find me up in the Crow's Nest. Right now I can see a big mess on the Foredeck, the shores of Italy, and the Captain sleeping one off in his Private Quarters. Other than that, not much going on.
How long are we staying at anchor here? Italy was nice to begin with, but I am getting tired of looking at the same old spaghetti tree. Its coming into flower again... won't be long before there is another crop.

Is that with or without meatballs? I think perhaps we may want to wait til the harvest or something only so we have plenty of food to soak up all the booze the crew manages to put away.
Of course that is the decision of the Captain, once he sleeps off last nights duties. I'm just social directory. Like Julie on the old Love Boat series 
.

There's some interesting entertainment out in the harbor.
One of the buoys sank in the last storm. A mermaid was
in love with him (his name was Danny), so she's sitting
on a rock singing "Danny Buoy."
(Ba-da-bing!)
Captain Pyrex mentioned something about going to
the Bermuda Triangle next. I'd rather go to the
Vidalia Triangle, because they have better onions there....
(I'm full of it this morning )

Now that we have left Italy what does a cruise director on a pirate ship do? Do you arrange lessons in how to swashbuckle or use a cutlass.
Are there films of pirate adventures?
Did you even know that Kes erased the Rock of Gibraltar?
Office of the Cruise Director
paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant Posted Jan 9, 2002
Is he allowed to do that?
What if the Gibraltararians get upset?

and what are we going to do with all those stinkin' apes?
