"Oh yeah, just turn left and you'll see Cabin 45 immediately. Can't miss it. It's the one under the fluorescent lights."

2. There's not a huge pool of men and women onboard, so you gotta be real sure you're not shacking up with your cousin.

Syfy

"Was your mother's maiden name Miller? No? Good. Let's do this."
