Title: Standard material if you're familiar with cruise ship life
Review: This book is entertaining if you have never been exposed to the folklore and mores of cruise ships. Odds are, that if you have ever been on a cruise, you have heard these anecdotes and jokes, most likely from your Cruise Director. It's full of old standard tales (the woman who got stuck on the vacuum toilet; the passenger who asks if the crew sleep on board the ship; etc.) but unfortunately didn't supply a single anecdote that I was not familiar with. If you ever worked on a ship (I haven't), forget it. You have heard the tiny cabin/ shower jokes ad nauseum I'm sure. Fun material overall, but nothing new, and I found the author's tendency to present the information as if it were totally novel most annoying.
