I love the cruise ship idea and, like Jenny said, it could potentially serve as an excellent introduction to the characters. And in that circumstance, the situation facilitates the mingling of characters from all walks of life, rather than them all happening to be living in the same area. Also, the idea of these unfortunate souls departing on their holibobs one day, only to endure the cruise from hell, and then at last dock in a strange new world is pretty awesome. Where it can go from there is anyone's guess.
