In this scenario, Bev delegates the task of locating a new Santa to Jack. In the course of his hunt, he discovers Buddy, a long-time comedian residing in Dubrovnik, who appears to be an ideal candidate for the role.
Unexpected incidents make Jack’s plan more difficult, causing everyone to rush to ensure a merry Christmas aboard the ship instead.
