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.

Kinda interesting.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Travelocity has a link to that BMW option.

Thylacine.

These sound more like drug names, rather than marsupials.

From another page on the freighter cruise site

The Trinity House Vessel Patricia is a working ship offering passengers an opportunity to view the day-to-day activities she undertakes on her regular rounds of lighthouse, lightship and navigational buoy maintenat around the coasts of England, Wales and the Channel Islands.

Sigh. That would be pretty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is that like getting a car with your vacation, or a vacation with your car?

There's also Royal Mail voyages between the UK, Cape Town, and St. Helena, calling at Tenerife and the Ascension Islands. There's a nice isolated working trip.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bright has a real PR feel to me which rubs me the wrong way.

In my brain "bright" inhabits the same neighborhood as "clear" and thus, applied to a philosophy of life, carries a vague whiff of Scientology, which can't possibly be what the person who coined it intended.

It'd be cool if the Navy copied the freighter cruise people. You could watch planes taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier....
