Tom is telling us that 1. Annie and Kat aren't worrying about JackThe orange outlines of the dancers are at least somewhat reminiscent of the party in Tall Tales (with very different lighting, of course)... A stylistic choice, not necessarily proof that this scene isn't real. So, there's my rationale for saying that it is.
EDIT: As for the lack of adults, I simply disagree. This is very much within my interpretation of the Court, especially due to the presence of a legion of sailor robots and Lindsey. They know their students are generally intelligent and mature, and someone is most definitely linked up to the robots to help them watch for trouble. If worst came to worst, and the entire ship began to sink, I'd bet my bottom dollar Lindsey would swoop in and save almost everyone (and that the robots are waterproof and have built-in flotation devices). The Court knows its stuff.

Heh, I'm not saying there WON'T be doom. Just that it's more likely to me that this is all really happening (within said universe, of course), and that the Court doesn't have a habit of deliberately allowing this many students into mortal danger. They have a plan for things going wrong.
How effective that plan is, we'll have to see, but this isn't some experiment to see how many students will survive a cruise with Zimmy...
EDIT: As for Annie worrying about Jack, it's possible of course, but she's smiling in panel four and sitting quite happily in panel seven, so I will hazard that it's a relatively low priority.
