They've got a 77-day cruise

Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think this hot chocolate is steamed milk and Hershey's syrup. Teh nast.
I seem to recall there being a BMW purchase option where you fly to Europe to get your car, drive it to the port, and sail back with.
