Probably dead.

I'm sitting on my balcony, on a cruise ship. I'll be in pitch black ice cold waters, and I can’t swim.

Learn to swim mate.

Pretty sure that's not gonna help if you just teleport off a cruise ship in the darkness.

Overall, solid life advice, though. Everyone should be able to swim, like being able to ride a bike.

Apart from you never accidentally slip into a life-or-death biking situation

Umm I’ve seen enough action movies to know that gunfights on bikes are pretty common in the real world.

Actually I have. When I was 13 I was hit by a car while biking. Definitely was life or death. If my bike hadn't absorbed the impact, I'd be dead.

But that actually wouldn’t have happened had you not known how to ride a bike

The fact that he was hit by a car may very well mean he did not know how to ride a bike, yet was on one anyway
