Show History: The Suite Life on Deck is a spin-off of the popular show, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, which originally premiered in March of 2005. Both series star Cole and Dylan Sprouse, real life twins who play Cody and Zack. In the original Suite Life, Zack and Cody move into a ritzy hotel with their mom, Carrie, who takes a job singing at the hotel. When the show started out, Zack and Cody were 12 years old, but they have grown up a little, and in the new series they begin attending Seven Seas High.
Seven Seas High is the high school on board the SS Tipton, a luxury passenger cruise liner owned by London's father. Tourists and students travel the world on the ship, and Zack, Cody, and London (whose father owns the original hotel and the cruise ship) have left their home at the Tipton hotel to learn as they sail. Once on board, Zack and Cody see that their old friend Moseby is head of the ship, and they meet some new friends -- a beautiful country girl named Bailey and Cody's new roommate, Woody.
* In addition to the series, webisodes from London Tipton (with guest appearances by other characters) are also available on London's Yay me! website. The first webisode talks about London going on a cruise, hinting at the new show. Also, Zack & Cody bridge the two shows with their "Yo Us" blog.Show Synopsis: The Suite Life on Deck has basically the same premise as The Suite Life of Zack & Cody -- Zack and Cody get into all kinds of mischief, which greatly upsets Mr. Moseby and now Ms. Tutweiller as well, and their misguided mishaps result in lots of physical and situational comedy for viewing kids. Adding to the hilarity is spoiled rich girl, London, and her dramatic interactions with the other characters, including the new girl from Kansas, Bailey. Their exploits now take place aboard a ship instead of in a hotel, so there are new and different opportunities for comical trouble, amusing misunderstandings, and silly mistakes.
