Seemed more like a trick one to me. good teaser anyway.
Ptetty good, I got 8 because I forgot about the trip back.
Nothing in the problem says anything about taking
the cruise back. One-way cruises exist all over the place.
People just fly back from a different city than the
cruise left from. In fact, the cruise operators often use
one-way cruises intentionally to get the ship from one part
of the world to another (say, at the start of the Carribean cruise
season).

You said during the cruise he did these things, I assumed that meant the whole cruise, not half.
C'mon this is not even a good trick. The cruise means the cruise. What did he do on the way back? Hold his breath?
BTW nice try with the fake Mad-Ade comments.

Nobody noticed that you can't cruise between Hawaii and the Bahamas in any where close to 8 days? The only way between the middle of the Pacific and the Atlantic would be through the Panama canal!
