Interesting book telling behind the scenes stories of cruise ship crew

[Canadian Mom Cruiser]

I don't know if this has been mentioned before. I came across this book at my local library.

 

Cruise Confidential by Brian David Bruns

It offers an interesting insight into the world of being part of the crew on a cruise ship. Although he worked for Carnival, I am sure the conditions are similar on RCCL. Not the best written book - but certainly very interesting

I just read this, I found it to be fairly interesting. There are several behind-the-scenes cruise books out there, and I find them intriguing.

I'm almost finished with this book and find it quite interesting...however, I don't think I would ever want to work onboard a ship..even though years ago I applied...

When you go to the Amazon page, there is also a book listed "What Time is the Midnight Buffet?" by Chesterh.

 

The linked book looks like fun, the other I mention is written by a gentleman who is a member of CC. It's one of the very best cruise reviews I've ever read...I still have it around here somewhere.

[MrZoey]

Just ordered it AND two others like it:D, thanks for the tip!

Another very interesting book is "Devils on the Deep Blue Sea". This is a history of the cruise industry. How Royal and Carnival started, how Carnival beat out Royal buying Princess.

I read Cruise Confidential and it is a pretty good book.

[ancldaca]

Yes, that is a fun book to read. I took it along on my recent Island Princess cruise and my mther liked it as well. It is now doing the rounds in my office building.

Have read "Devils" (VERY interesting!!!)...and just ordered Confidential and What Time's the Midnight Buffet?"......

 

Any other suggestions? I'm not too interested in travelog type books...looking for behind the scenes or humorous books about cruising....
