Synopsis
In Cruise Confidential, Brian David Bruns spills the dirt — or in this case, the dirty water — on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the year he spent working for Carnival Cruise Lines takes readers down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving readers gasping with laughter as they’re assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre. Stewards fighting over food. Cutlery allowances and other nonsensical rules. What the crew calls those onboard (no, it’s not “passengers”). And of course, the sex. An abundance of ready, willing, and able bodies eager for action on a vessel replete with nooks and crannies leads to love in some mighty strange, and seemingly impossible, places. Breezy, entertaining, and informative, Cruise Confidential is essential reading for those planning a cruise or for anyone who just needs a good laugh.

September 19, 2009: I enjoyed this book very much. I've cruised all over and always wondered about the crew below. While reading this book in a park, I would burst out laughing and the laughs kept coming! In the future when I ask for another cup of coffee on a ship, I will appreciate what they go through.

August 24, 2009: I usually don't finish any book that I start so for me to finish this book was a big accomplishment. I get bored easily and I need a book to hold my attention. This book did that. It gave me an inside look at what the crew from these ships go through to make our experiences memorable and entertaining! They work extremely long, hard hours. A great, entertaining read!
