Time To Travel To Excess!
Brian David Bruns worked on a cruise ship. He saw things you wouldn’t believe. And he wrote about it all.
Cruise Confidential: A Hit Below the Waterline: Where the Crew Lives, Eats, Wars, and Parties. One Crazy Year Working on Cruise Ships by
Brian David Bruns
Bruns hit the jackpot with his “tell all”, inside look at life on a cruise ship.
Before you go on your next (or your first) cruise, read what Amazon has to say about “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.
This book is terrific – shocking, hilarious, and shocking again! Bruns has a knack for telling a tale, and tell tales he does!
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.
As Amazon says: “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.”
This is one entertaining look at life on a cruise ship, where everything and anything goes in pursuit of a good time!
“Cruise Confidential” was such a big hit that Bruns has written three sequels!
That’s right, Bruns has turned his writing into a cottage industry – each sequel as funny and entertaining as the other!
“Ship for Brains: Cruise Confidential 2” continues the story, and a great title, as are the next two in the series as sell!
“Unsinkable Mister Brown: Cruise Confidential 3” and “High Seas Drifter: Cruise Confidential 4” are also available.

I have never been on a cruise, John, but I imagine they are good fun.

Robbie, I will never do one on a boat this big: mega-cruises with THOUSANDS of people isn’t appealing…but the book is a great read!

I don’t like crowds so a big boat wouldn’t appeal to me. As you say, the book sounds great.

Yes, this is a great way to get a sense of what it’s like without having to go – he’s a funny, insightful writer and the books are fascinating, a bit troubling at times, and true!

This looks like a fun book, John. I doubt I would ever want to go on a cruise though. I am not a good sailor, and the thought of being trapped with the same people on board doesn’t appeal in the least. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, I will NEVER go on a cruise, and this hilarious book showcases some of the reasons why, and imagine being on a boat with 5,000 people?!?!?!
