The wrong cruise

Jamie Miller.

That was their name. They both lived in the same city and had the same name - they’d never met one another and had no idea someone sharing their name lived just a few suburbs away. The coincidences don’t stop there though.

Our two Jamie’s both had the same idea - to book a three week long cruise and get away from it all and have some fun this summer. Though it should be noted that even though these cruises left on the same day, at the same time from the same dock and were run by the same company - they couldn’t be more different.

You see our first Jamie was your average single straight guy living alone in an apartment working 9-5 to eventually climb that corporate ladder. Nothing special or unique about him really just your average joe, or rather Jamie in this case.

Our other Jamie on the other hand - couldn’t be more different. He was also single but he wasn’t straight - Jamie was about as gay as they come and proud of it. He also lived in a share house rather than on his own and was hussling that entrepreneur life instead of working for what he would describe as some soulless corporation destroying our society.

So given the difference in our two Jamie’s it’s pretty obvious that they aren’t likely to be booking the same cruise for their holidays this summer. However they happened to both book in at the same time, and with so many identical details coming in at once, their name, cruise dates, even their birthdays… it confused the system and sent them the wrong tickets - although neither of them would realise this, after all it had their name on them and the details matched - it was the same dock they were meant to be leaving from on the right day - there was just one difference which they wouldn’t realise until it was too late. Those tickets were for the wrong boat…
