In this sun soaked and fun filled episode, the Seven Seas Splendor continues its luxurious cruise around the Mediterrannean. But will the cruise be over before it even begins? Captain Luciano has an anxious wait as Port Officials in Lisbon hold up almost two hundred passengers in the terminal. Missing his departure slot could have a serious impact on the rest of the cruise.
For many on board, it's the start of a once in a lifetime voyage. But for Cruise Director Lorraine, the journey is bittersweet as it signals the countdown to her leaving the ship for a well-earned holiday. Having always put her staff and the guests first, leaving behind close friends isn't easy. But to ensure she goes out with a bang, Lorraine is planning one last lavish party for the ship's returning passengers. Free-flowing champagne, performances from the entertainment team and bottomless caviar and canapes is a sure-fire way to ensure the passengers have the best party ever. But is there a surprise in store? General Manager Massimo is hatching a plan to say goodbye to Lorraine on stage.
With all the gastronomy available on board, it's hard to imagine the ship ever running out of the world's finest produce. But after a steep uptake in olive oil whilst the ship sails through Europe, Executive Head Chef Ronald is faced with a dilemma. Luckily for him, Veteran Maitre'D Jorge runs an olive oil business in the Portuguese countryside. Unluckily – the olive groves are two hundred miles away from the ship. Can they get the precious cargo back on board before the ship leaves for Spain?
