    The Grumpy Old Man Goes On A Cruise Ship 
A Funny, Clean Comedy About Surviving a Vacation Without Enjoying It 
The Grumpy Old Man does not like cruises. 
He does not like crowds, schedules, loud announcements, moving furniture, or people who are having fun too early in the day. He prefers solid ground, quiet corners, and knowing exactly where he is standing at all times. 
Unfortunately, he is now on a cruise ship. 
From overpacked decks and endless lines to surprise photographs and beds that move without permission, the Grumpy Old Man faces a floating world that refuses to behave properly. Meals take too long, the internet takes forever, and the sun will not leave him alone. 
Then something unexpected happens.
