Wizards of Waverly Place
Justin Russo is excited to meet London Tipton when he wins an essay contest prize, which is a "teen cruise" to Hawaii on the SS Tipton. His brother and sister Max Russo and Alex Russo are also excited, but their parents Theresa and Jerry Russo refuse to let Alex go because she is behind in school. However, Alex finds out that there is a school on board the ship and she pleads for her parents to let her go on the cruise as well; they agree on the condition that she not skip any classes while she is on board. Alex agrees, but instead of attending classes she uses magic to bring her friend Harper Finkle aboard and makes her attend the classes under her name; There, Harper meets Cody Martin. Meanwhile, Alex meets Bailey Pickett and helps her win a game of tug-of-war by cheating; when Mr. Moseby insists on knowing her name, Alex uses the name Ashley Olsen to avoid getting into trouble. When Justin meets London, he pretends that he is a doctor, which gains her interest. However, Justin begins to lose interest in her when he discovers how unintelligent she is. Elsewhere, Max meets Cody's identical twin brother Zack Martin, and they compete to see who can drink a slushie faster. However, they make the mistake of drinking from the same cup, so they decide to race luggage carts. While doing so, Max accidentally bumps his cart into several people standing in front of the hot tub and Bailey gets knocked over into it while eating pizza and starts choking. London sees this and tells Justin to save Bailey, but Justin says that he doesn't know how to. Alex then saves Bailey by stepping in to give her abdominal thrusts. Mr. Moseby then steps in to congratulate Alex for helping Bailey and Alex, having forgotten the name Ashley Olsen, says her name is Ashley Simpson (and then Ashley Simpson-Olsen after being reminded by Bailey of what she said before). Max and Harper then arrive on the scene and call Alex by her real name and Harper respectively, which leaves Mr. Moseby extremely confused. Max tells Mr. Moseby the truth; in response, Alex pushes him into the hot tub. London, ashamed of Justin for not trying to save Bailey, calls him "a dumb doctor" and breaks up with him (which Justin goes along with). In the end, Alex transports Harper home using magic, but then realises that she may have accidentally sent her to Rome instead, and continues to skip class.

The Suite Life on Deck
Hannah Montana, also known as Miley Stewart and her best friend Lola Luftnagle, also known as Lily Truscott, board the SS Tipton on their way to a concert performance in Honolulu. Cody attempts to get Bailey, who is a big fan of Hannah and himself tickets to the concert because he knows Hannah from the time she stayed at the Tipton Hotel in Boston and ate cake off of his brother Zack. Cody first tries to get tickets from Hannah directly, but she doesn't remember him. He then tries to get London to help him, but she refuses as she has a grudge against Hannah. On the verge of giving up, Cody learns that he can get tickets by participating in a scavenger hunt and he enlists his friend Woody to help him. Meanwhile, the Russo family is still aboard the cruise; Alex pulls a prank on Justin by putting blue dye in the hot tub, for which Mr. Moseby blames Zack (who has developed a crush on Alex), who then blames Cody, while Max meets London and attempts to impress her with roomy luggage. Zack finds Cody and prevents him from completing the scavenger hunt and Justin proves to Mr. Moseby that Alex was the one who put the dye in the hot tub. Mr. Moseby apologises to Zack, but tells him that he is still in trouble as he had confessed to committing other unsolved pranks in the process. Cody is disappointed, but Bailey is happy that Cody did everything he could to try to get the tickets for the two of them. Cody then gets a cake that Woody was holding splattered on his shirt, causing Hannah to remember him (mistaking him for Zack) when she next sees him; Hannah gives both Cody and Bailey concert tickets. Bailey then tells Cody that it is going to be the best date ever, then surprises him with a kiss. Cody privately shouts "Yes! My six-month plan worked!" and the two of them finally start a relationship. Before the Russos depart the cruise, London tells Max that they will meet again, kissing him on the cheek.

Hannah Montana
The SS Tipton arrives in Hawaii. Hannah loses an anklet that her mother gave her which she considers lucky, and bad things start to happen to her: Her rehearsal for her concert goes poorly, she gets someone else's pet rat in her head, and she rips her shirt. Hannah and Lola search for the anklet but cannot find it. A maid finds the anklet and shows it to Mr. Moseby, but London takes it, seeing it as valuable. Hannah and Lola see London holding the anklet and, after first encountering Zack, they attempt to convince her to return the anklet; however, when Hannah says that the anklet has fake diamonds, London freaks out and drops it overboard by accident. Hannah wonders if things could get any worse, and they do: A storm blows her blond wig away, her hair dye turns her hair green instead of blond, and finally, a mirror breaks. This is the last straw for Hannah and when Cody and Bailey come to thank her for their concert tickets, she says that she is cancelling her concert, which upsets them both. She talks with her father Robby, who has spent the entire cruise dealing with seasickness, about how depressed she feels and that she always felt as if her mother's spirit was in the anklet, but he cheers her up by telling her that the spirit of her mother is also in her heart and also revealing that he always has a back-up wig, which he gives to her. Hannah then tells Cody and Bailey the concert is back on and that they are invited to the after-party. Bailey asks Cody if that was his plan and Cody answers by saying that a good relationship needs honesty, but lies by saying it was his plan. Hannah's Hawaii concert goes ahead, and all is well.
Meanwhile, back at Hannah's house in Malibu, her brother Jackson and her friend Oliver Oken receive a package addressed to Robby. Although Robby warns them not to open it, Jackson and Oliver cannot help but wonder what is in the package and they and Rico Suave open the package anyway, revealing a bounce house. The bounce house automatically inflates itself, getting the boys stuck to the window for quite some time, but Rico eventually deflates it with his fingernail.
In this episode Miley and Lilly appeared only as Hannah and Lola.

==Theme Song==
The theme song to Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana is a remix of the three shows' opening sequences and theme songs in a format of a Rubik's Cube twisting and turning to the three shows' theme songs; it starts with Wizards of Waverly Place, then The Suite Life on Deck and followed by Hannah Montana. It lasted for 1.03 minutes and appears during the show when changing to the different episodes. The 1:03 minute theme song is not on the DVD sale of the Canadian region (separated into 3 different shows, broadcast with own theme songs).
Subsequent re-broadcasts of all three episodes feature each show's respective opening sequences for the individual episodes, as well as the closing credits for Wizards of Waverly Place and The Suite Life on Deck for the episodes of those two series that were part of the crossover, that were not included in the original broadcast and initial repeats. This is Disney Channel's first crossover to have an opening sequence and theme song to show first then to start their respective episodes series. In the UK, however, it is shown, even on the premier, as three individual episodes, with three individual title sequences.
