Zack and Cody Martin

The Martin twins are on the luxury passenger cruise liner The S.S. Tipton where they attend classes at Seven Seas High, but still get into mischief. Zachary "Zack" Martin (Dylan Sprouse) is typically the unstudious, outgoing twin and runs the juice bar on the ship. His brother Cody (Cole Sprouse) is the erudite, mature, and sensitive twin who is a straight-A student. He often plays along with his brother's crazy schemes. He shows less interest in girls than his brother until he meets Bailey, though his "sensitivity" usually gets him the girls. Zack usually picks on his brother a lot, but becomes very protective of him when someone else does. Cody has a crush on Bailey similar to the crush Zack has on Maddie. On the ship Cody is the towel boy.

London Tipton

London Tipton (Brenda Song) is the daughter of Wilfred Tipton, the owner of the Tipton Hotel and the S.S. Tipton. She is an obvious parody of Paris Hilton, down to the ditzy demeanor and frivolous spending and name of the character (London/Paris and Tipton/Hilton) and both fathers owning hotel chains. Although you never see Mr. Tipton fully — usually hiding behind his security force — he is frequently mentioned. London is a dim-witted, spoiled, rich teenager. She dislikes her step-moms (she has had more than six; in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody series finale, she claims she has had twelve) and talks to Mr. Moseby about her problems. When happy she usually claps her hands repeatedly while saying her catchphrase, "Yay me!". Though it seems like London may lead the ultimate rich-girl life, her childhood was not perfect. Constantly her parents were away running the hotel in different areas of the world. On the SS Tipton, she makes a new friend, Bailey, who is her roommate.

Bailey Pickett

Bailey Pickett (Debby Ryan) is a 15 year old small town girl from Kettlecorn, Kansas. She shares a room with London Tipton. Bailey is a student at Seven Seas High and attends classes with new friends Zack, Cody, London and Woody. She came on the ship to leave the farm because she hates the fact that the town is so small. She pretends to be a boy in the premiere in order to get a room. Eventually, she moves in with London when people find out she is a girl. During the show they make many cracks about Kansas as a unsophisticated farmland where everyone has animals. In the beginning of the second episode, Zack and Cody were both fighting over Bailey since they both seemed to have a crush on her. But in the end, when they knew more about Bailey's life and her ex boyfriend, Moose, Zack let Cody have Bailey claiming that Bailey was "checkin' too much baggage." and that he liked "girls with just carry-ons."
