"Nightly entertainment includes musical acts such as The Faux-gerty Brothers, The Fat Carpenters, and Jermaine Jackson. The real one."

"When we converted the cruise ship from an old whaling vessel, we decided to leave harpooning stations intact for your recreation and enjoyment. Feel free to try your hand and spearing passing marine life! Fun for kids AND the young at heart."

"State-of-the-art plumbing system recycles your very own urine into drinking water! (Warning: drinking water also recycled from urine of other passengers, staff, and cargo animals)"

"Where other cruise lines have celebrity's on board to sign autographs, we've got them on board to steer the ship! Who knows, you might be out to sea under the careful and famous stewardship of Courtney Love, Billy Joel or Tara Reid!"

"Enjoy our ass-bottomed boats. You heard us."
