The premise
Here’s the bit.
A cruise aboard the S.S. Rumpo becomes a series of visual mishaps. Stewards exploit a seasick diner, a porthole offers an awkward view, a pianist struggles with her page-turner, and the ship's bar serves up more chaos than drinks.

Notes from the archive.
The bar routine in this sketch is repeated in the "Madame Louise Summer Collection" on March 5, 1980. The "seasick" gag was recreated in the "Hill's Angels Ship's Cruise" routine in a 1983 episode.
