Further details
It's Christmas and Sharon has already used Tracey's gift to Aunt Sylvie.
When two tickets from a pre-booked cruise arrive, Darryl insists that Tracey takes Garth. Garth calls and says he won't be home for Christmas as he is going on a school choir trip.
With Tracey upset, Sharon and Dorien try to convince her to still go on the cruise. When she refuses Dorien offers to buy the tickets off her.
Sharon and Tracey go to wave off Dorien and Marcus. Dorien begins reading to Tracey from a brochure about the facilities and activities on board, until Tracey admits that she made a mistake and she should have gone. Then the ship starts to leave port: Tracey realises she has been tricked and she is in fact going on the cruise after all.
