Ep 1. It's All Greek To Me

It's All Greek To Me is the first episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 1. The show documents the lives of the crew members who work and live on a luxury yacht during a summer season in the Mediterranean. In this season, the crew embarks on a journey through the Greek islands.

The episode introduces us to Captain Mark Howard, who is in charge of the yacht's crew of eight. The crew is comprised of lead deckhand Bryan Kattenburg, deckhand Danny Zureikat, chef Ben Robinson, stewardesses Julia d'Albert Pusey and Tiffany Copeland, and second stew Hannah Ferrier. The crew's first task is to prepare the yacht for its first guests, who include a group of wealthy, demanding and slightly unpredictable Greek businessmen.

Hannah, the second stew, is responsible for ensuring that the yacht is impeccable and welcoming when the guests arrive. She has to arrange flowers, set beds, and ensure that the yacht is ready for guests who have paid thousands of dollars for the ultimate luxury experience. She and the other stewardesses also prepare a welcome drink and snacks that the guests will be offered.

The deck crew, led by Bryan, is responsible for the maintenance of the yacht. They make sure the yacht is seaworthy and ready for the guests to explore the Greek islands. They also have to clean the yacht and prepare it for the guests' arrival.

The yacht's chef, Ben, is one of the most important crew members. He is responsible for preparing gourmet meals for the guests, every day. He has to work with the guests to determine their meal preferences and dietary restrictions and adjust the menu accordingly. His first meal for the guests is a Greek-inspired dinner, which consists of traditional Greek dishes with a modern twist.

Danny, one of the deckhands, is tasked with driving the tender, a small boat that transports guests to and from the yacht. He also has to be available to the guests for any other requests they may have.

As the guests arrive, Hannah and the stewardesses welcome them with drinks and show them around the yacht. However, it quickly becomes clear that the Greek businessmen are not satisfied with the simple welcome drink and want more. They demand that the crew provide them with a special Greek drink, which is not readily available on the yacht. The crew has to improvise to provide the drink, which becomes a theme throughout the episode as the guests continue to make various demands.

The episode also shows the personal lives of the crew members, particularly their relationships with each other. There is a lot of tension between Hannah and Tiffany, who have different personalities and work styles. Danny tries to charm Julia, one of the stewardesses, which causes some tension between him and Bryan.

Ultimately, the crew manages to handle the guests' demands and provide them with the luxury experience they expect. They manage to balance their professional responsibilities with their personal relationships, forming a dynamic and entertaining story.

It's All Greek To Me is a thrilling and exciting first episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 1. It introduces us to the main characters and sets the stage for the rest of the season, which promises to be full of drama, entertainment, and luxury.
