If they cancel SAND (shudder), then we will have to do the experiment involving drinks and/or us listing one way or the other in the hotel bar or by its swimming pool.

On our next cruise, then, to verify our results we will have to replicate the experiment changing one variable: on a ship instead of on land at the hotel.

This is the core of the scientific method: always repeat important experiments like this many many times. This is one of the reasons why I became a physicist!
