Cruise Ship Announcements for our Dinner Theatre

I am currently in the middle of writing a Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre for my church youth group and I am in need of some interesting annoucements that can be randomly inserted throughout the show. The show takes place on a cruise liner and to get the audience in the right mood for the show, I thought it would be neat to have random "cruise ship" announcements before the show and during the show. I have seen this done in past shows before and it really worked. Any ideas are helpful! Thanks!

Hmmm perhaps announce something about the emergency fire drill getting cancelled? That could perhaps be a running joke or something. They keep scheduling/rescheduling it. I'm sure your deft comic touch could bring light to that.

How about random pagings for historical figures or funny named characters?

Or announcements about upcoming ports and attractions they will see.

"For those of you looking to add a little spark to your evening, dance on over to the pool deck and join your assistant cruise director Todd for some electric slide lessons"

"Make sure to leave some room, because Executive Chef Empril DeGassy would like to cordially invite you to the midnight buffet in the Grand Dining Room. The midnight buffet starts at eleven PM."

"In the event of an emergency, please proceed calmly to your assigned muster station. If you can't remain calm, stop by the bar for today's drink of the day, the lavendar life ring."

"At 8pm rock on over to the Lido Lounge to listen to some of the greatest power ballads of the 80's performed by our own favorite rocker and ventriliquist Splint Wood."

"The captain would like to inform us that the seas will be a little choppy tonight. But the seas will calm by the morning, just in time for the sixth annual macarena-thon in the ship's atrium."

"Our cruise line would like to remind you to be kind to our ecosystem, and please refrain from throwing anything (or anybody) overboard."

"The reserving of deck chairs is strictly prohibited. If you would like to reserve a deck chair, please sit on it."

That's just a few that I can think of off the top of my head. It could be lots of fun.

"Will the passenger who brought the St. Bernard on board please report to the Poop Deck immediately!"
