## Synopsis

The Suite Life on Deck (2008-2011) is an American Disney Channel family sitcom created by Danny Kallis, Jim Geoghan and Pamela Eells. Twin brothers Zack Martin (Dylan Sprouse) and Cody Martin (Cole Sprouse) aboard the luxury cruise liner SS Tipton keep their scheming aimed squarely at mischief, while the spoiled heiress London Tipton (Brenda Song) tries to adjust to a fabu-less life sharing a cramped cabin with Bailey Pickett (Debby Ryan), a country girl from Kansas. Their shipboard father figure Marion Moseby (Phill Lewis) keeps the crew in line as the ship sails the world. Each episode is a self-contained case of the week built from classes at Seven Seas High, onboard pranks, schemes and misunderstandings, all played for light, breezy laughs. The three-season run unfolds across a traveling campus where students and tourists share every deck. Fans of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Hannah Montana and That's So Raven will find the same bright, wholesome sitcom energy here, aimed squarely at young viewers and the whole family.
