The scene is set on the deck of a luxurious cruise ship, floating serenely under a clear, starry night sky. A detailed, expressive illustration captures the whimsy and charm of a Valentine's Day celebration at sea, with intricate line work reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley’s art.

Foreground: In the foreground, a whimsical, hand-drawn representation of a long, banquet-style table stretches across the deck. It’s set with an extravagant, intricate lace tablecloth with elaborate, swirling patterns. At the center, a towering cake, frosted in delicate pink swirls, is adorned with romantic red roses made of sugar. A small, bright-red pennant on the cake reads "Donna" in elegant, looping script.

Around the table, couples, drawn in a style similar to Quentin Blake's expressive figures, are dressed in 1920s cruise attire. Men in dapper suits and women in flapper dresses, adorned with pearls, are animatedly interacting with each other. A few are leaning over the railing, gazing at the sea, while others are caught in the middle of a dance, with one gentleman dipping his partner dramatically.

Background: The background depicts the curve of the ship's railing, leading the eye towards the horizon. Beyond the railing, the moon casts a silver glow over the ocean, with waves gently lapping against the ship. Starry night skies, dotted with twinkling stars, serve as a perfect backdrop. Here, nods to Edward Gorey’s style can be seen in the meticulous cross-hatching and shadowing of the water and sky.

Above, strings of fairy lights zigzag across the deck, twinkling with warm, golden glows, echoing Maxfield Parrish's use of luminous colors. These lights illuminate paper lanterns that hang at intervals, each decorated with heart-shaped cut-outs that cast playful, heart-shaped shadows.

Details: The scene is filled with small, humorous elements like a tiny mouse dressed as a ship captain peeking out from behind a table leg, or a curious seagull perched on a lifebuoy, eyeing a forgotten piece of cake. An art-deco styled banner drapes across the top of the card, with elegant lettering in navy blue and white that complements the vintage maritime theme, celebrating Valentine's Day in a bold, playful font.

These elements combine to create a vibrant, detailed, and funny depiction of a Valentine's Day cruise, infused with the artistic influences requested, but standing uniquely on its own.
