Why read it?

1 author picked Cruise Confidential as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I came across this eye-opening book when I started out as a cruise enrichment speaker and sought insight into life on board a ship. It’s written by an ex-crew member and tells his story of a year working on a cruise line.

From Sue's list on to read on a cruise vacation.
