"The Suite Life Sets Sail" is the pilot episode of the popular Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life on Deck, the sequel and spin-off to the original series. It premiered in the United States on September 26, 2008. Debby Ryan joins the cast as Bailey Pickett, close friends with Zack, girlfriend to Cody and roommate with London,[1] as well as Ashley Tisdale leaving the main cast due to Maddie Fitzpatrick having to attend college.

After an original sequel named Arwin! was not picked up by Disney Channel, the creators decided to change the concept.[2] The series premiere in the United States drew 5.7 million viewers,[3] and it became the most watched pilot in Canada and on the Family network,[4] also outpacing veteran series Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place with the ratings.[5]

Plot[]

Hotel heiress London Tipton (Brenda Song) and twins Zack (Dylan Sprouse) and Cody Martin (Cole Sprouse) are to attend a new semester in Seven Seas High School on the SS Tipton (which was seen in one episode of the predecessor), a cruise ship owned by Wilfred Tipton (voiced by Bob Joles and played by Adam Tait in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody; played by John Michael Higgins in the special Suite Life on Deck episode "Twister"). Meanwhile, Mr. Moseby (Phill Lewis) tricks London into thinking that she is on vacation (which is not true), and a girl named Bailey Pickett sneaks into the bathrooms to disguise herself as a male, doing so since there are no more cabins left for women. London bribes her roommate Padma (Tiya Sircar) into leaving, so she can have the room to herself, and soon finds out she has to attend school.

Cody ends up sharing a room with Woody Fink (Matthew Timmons), who is very messy, while Zack eventually is with Bailey (Debby Ryan) (currently disguised as male, trying to hide her identity). The twins decide to exchange roommates, but Zack in the end refuses after finding out she is a girl. However, her gender is eventually revealed to the people on the ship, and is happy to find out that the cabin from London is free for one more person, but this is the last straw for London, and she flees to Parrot Island via helicopter, leaving the plot for the following episode.
