Day One: Hot Tub Hilarity

The sun sank below the ship's stern, offering a gold glow across the cool blue sea and the wooden deck on top of the ship. Quite a few passengers were out watching the sunset, including Joanne and several of her friends and family. She took a look around, at the people who had accepted her offer of a free cruise for 6.

Joanne's sister Tiffany was sat casually in her lounge chair, a martini in hand. She wore a blue floral bikini top, and a matching light blue Sarong wrapped around her waist. The material was sheer enough that it was evident there was a dark blue bikini bottom to match the top piece. She was engaged in a discussion about her two children with her husband Lance, who was smiling and nodding confidently in his black swim trunks. Beyond that and a pair of flip-flops, it didn't appear he was wearing much else. Likely to show off his newly toned physique following a year of diets and weight-loss programs.

Opposite Tiffany, sat her brother Gary and his wife Flora. Flora was conservatively dressed in a summer dress, and her husband was sporting shorts and a T-Shirt. They were giggling among themselves about some topic they were whispering to each other about. Maria, Joanne's childhood friend, was fast asleep in her chair. She was wearing a white bikini and sunglasses, and her skin was slightly reddened from being out in the sun for too long.

Of course, when the sun eventually sank beneath the waves, many of the passengers began heading inside towards the lounge area. Apparently the ship still had TV, despite its low size and occupancy of 150. Gary and Lance were both itching to get a good seat in the lounge, and were trying hard to push the others into getting up.

"Look, the game comes on in fifteen minutes. If we go now, we could maybe get a booth near a TV!" Gary pleaded.

Finally, Flora rolled her eyes. "Alright. How about this. You two go on ahead. Us girls can steal the hot tub while it’s empty. Sound good?”

Gary and Lance briefly contemplated wether it was the right choice to make, before they both shrugged. The pair walked off in the direction of the bar, leaving Joanne, Flora, Tiffany, and Maria on the deck seemingly alone.

“Well, now that they’re gone, I had a fun idea.” Tiffany explained mischievously. Joanne tolled her eyes, already sensing what idea she had in mind.

“Let’s skinny dip in the hot tub! The whole cruise is going to be watching the game anyway, so I doubt anybody is gonna come to the top deck. Even if someone does, the bubbles can hide everything below the water.” Tiffany begged, already standing up from her chair.
