The beginning was great setting up everything for the episode to follow. Having Pinkie Pie watching over Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle for the pirate ship thing out newspapers was beyond cute. For some reason I was reminded of the Love Boat when I saw the thing sinking with Sweetie Belle and Scoot showing their flanks.
Rarity was definitely a much needed addition the way she tied everything together. If I had to say anything this episode was part AB part Sweetie Belle leaving poor Scootaloo in the dust once again. We got a few nods to her with the flying bit with the birds, but that was it imho. Wanted to see more of Scootaloo, but sadly what we saw will have to suffice.
Holy crap did I see a picture of Celestia devouring a stack of cakes lol. Mr. Ponimator better do something on that I swear or so help me Celestia I will.

Trixie gets mentioned thus providing Continuity to her existence. However, it would have been nice to atleast see a picture of her angry at the camera.
Again overall it's a great episode to add to season 2, but wouldn't call it a top favorite of mine.
