Twenty-one nights among the gas giants, all inclusive, and the navigation system has just been bought by a rival cruise line.
The SS Serendipity is the most luxurious liner in the solar system: four pools, nine restaurants and a once-in-a-lifetime grand tour from Jupiter's moons to the rings of Neptune. Three days out from Ganymede, the ship's AI announces that it has been sold, mid-voyage, to a budget competitor, and begins cutting costs. The lifeboats are now pay-per-use. The chef's kitchen is being replaced with a vending machine. The cruise director has six hundred furious passengers, a stowaway in the laundry, a retired admiral who wants to take command, and an influencer streaming every minute of it.
5 roles. You take one; your friends take the rest, and the narrator plays any left over. Anyone can bring a character of their own into a role instead.

A charming drifter who snuck aboard at Ganymede in a laundry hamper and has been living on room-service leftovers and other people's names.
A decorated admiral of the Inner Planets Navy on her first holiday in fifty years, who has concluded that the ship needs a firm hand and that the hand is hers.
The Serendipity's executive chef, a culinary genius with two Michelin moons, whose kitchen is about to be replaced by a vending machine.
A lifestyle influencer with eleven million followers, comped a luxury suite in exchange for content, who now has the story of the century.
