You take an unintentional tour first

Since Gina’s apparently so important, you expect that she’d be at the top of the ship. That makes sense, right? You find a flight of stairs nearby and follow it all the way to the top. You end up on a deck with a bunch of pools, chairs, hot tubs, and even a big screen TV! Wow, is this what it’s like to live a life of luxury? And they let you on if you just stand in line long enough? You should have gone for a cruise a long time ago! Scanning the deck, you don’t see many people, probably because most of them are waiting in line still. You also don’t see Gina, so you decide to check somewhere else.

You head back towards the bottom, imagining that someone like Gina probably gets pampered a lot, so she’d be lazy and wouldn’t want to move far from where she boarded. You find yourself in an enormous plaza. It looks a lot like a fancy mall! There are multiple floors here with lots of shops dotting the outer edges, and you even spot a spa. That’s definitely something you’ll have to come back to. No Gina though. Fortunately, a nicely-dressed couple walks by, and you figure Gina could be where they’re going since they’d fit right in with each other.

You follow them to a boring floor with a bunch of closed doors. These must be the rooms everyone is staying in. Which room is yours? Well, there will be plenty of time to figure that out later. For now, it’s essential that you find and embarrass Gina as quickly as possible.

A theater, a basketball court, more cabins, no no no. Gina’s not in any of these places. Where could she be!? You decide to give it one more try and go up another level. Walking outside, it’s the darn Pool Deck again, which is now packed with people! You’re about to throw a tantrum, but suddenly, the scent of delicious sweets seems to whirl around your head, dragging you towards it as you barely pay attention to where you’re going. Your stomach demands you drop your vendetta temporarily and feed yourself, which you’re happy to do when you find yourself surrounded by decadent cakes and brownies and pies and… mmmfff. You grab a plate and reach for a brownie, then freeze. How much does this cost?

You ask the man behind the counter what the price is, and he cheerfully replies, “It’s all free. Welcome aboard the S.S. Anne!” You go into glutton mode as you pile treat after treat onto your plate as though you’ll never eat again.

You wander around with your plate in one hand and a glass of milk in the other, your fatigue and hunger setting in to make it a hassle just to find a place to eat. You find a lounge area, tucked away from the bustling pools, and fling yourself onto one of the cushioned seats. Phew, who knew a cruise could be so exhausting? With that, you dig in to your dessert.
