season one, bum voyage


in this episode, bob and emily leave for a two-month cruise. the whole gang says goodbye on board--in chicago. how can they be leaving for a european cruise from chicago? do the US riverways support a cruiseship? i find this unbelievable.

I've watched that episode many times but never thought about the fact cruise ships don't leave from Chicago. I guess they could have flown to a port city, but that wouldn't explain why all their friends came on board to say goodbye. I'd chalk it up to something we aren't supposed to question.

That's part of what's funny about it.

Although the ship shown appears to be too big to pass through it, it is possible to go from Chicago to the Atlantic via the St. Lawrence Seaway.
