Plot

Three couples - one Australian, one English, one American - encounter each other on a cruise.

Background

Williamson said he was inspired by a cruise he took with his wife Kristin. When they arrived on board, they discovered that the dining seat allocations were fixed for the cruise. “You either dine with those people for seven nights in a row or you starve,” Williamson says. “You’re thrust into a situation where you have to coexist with people you don’t know, and I thought it was a great dramatic situation, if people find out that they absolutely loathe each other and things go from bad to worse.”[2]

In 2005 Williamson had written an article about a cruise trip he took which had attracted criticism.[3]

gollark: I've successfully copied my Amazon ebooks to a Calibre install and it only took several hours and running the Kindle for PC thing in Wine, among many other annoying bits of hackery!
gollark: <@166288516727308290> Try Arch. It has great documentation and doesn't even take ten hours to install.
gollark: Bananas *are* mildly radioactive, you know.
gollark: UBIFS too.
gollark: The great part of 5G is that I could, under ideal conditions, probably go through my entire monthly data plan in a matter of *minutes*!
