Name Of Book-Inside The Cruise Industry

[shark_bait]

A few years ago I read a book about the history and inside business deals of the Cruise Industry. Fascinating stuff. Talked about how the Arison's started, than ran the first Caribbean Cruise for Norwegian. Branched out on their own with or without Norwegian's money:rolleyes: to start Carnival. Also talked about the deep hatred between Carnival and Royal Caribbean after the Princess aquisition. Anyways, great book and a definite must read for cruise lovers.

 

Wondering if any of you recall what the name of this book is? Friend of mine would like to get his hands on it and I gave mine away to one of our cruise critic buddies while onboard. Thanks.

I read this book last year and it was very compelling. Loved it.
